Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 17, 2011

This is straight-up young people whining about their relationships.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Sep 8, 2009

It's sweet natured and brightly played.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 18, 2008

Definitely, Maybe, which was written and directed by Adam Brooks, has charm and spirit.

| Feb 25, 2008

Tthe performances are very strong.

Full Review | Feb 19, 2008

The romantic comedy has become such a wasteland of physical humor, predictable plots, and nauseating manipulation that Definitely, Maybe is more remarkable for what it doesn't do.

| Feb 16, 2008

Everything feels derivative and nothing rings true -- it's The Way We Weren't.

| Feb 15, 2008

Definitely, Maybe isn't terrible exactly, but it's bland, and in some ways that's worse. It's a romance posing as a detective story in which the solution is obvious and not worth the fuss.

| Original Score: C | Feb 15, 2008

This highly uneven comedy by writer-director Adam Brooks might be easier to take if it were less infatuated with its own cuteness.

| Feb 15, 2008

Will's eventual fate is of academic interest only. Definitely, maybe? Who cares?

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 15, 2008

Halfway through Kevin Kline shows up in a performance of such vitality and honesty that it shows how two-dimensional the rest of the movie is.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 14, 2008

It's no accident that the producers Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan, are the pair responsible for such romantic comedies as Love Actually, About a Boy, Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill, all starring Hugh Grant.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 14, 2008

Despite one of the more contrived framing devices outside an actual frame shop, Definitely, Maybe keeps you interested in its characters and isn't afraid of complicating your sympathies a little.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 14, 2008

Definitely, Maybe isn't a particularly good movie. It's hard to make either romance or comedy out of relationship wreckage, not to mention career ennui, and the pace is often meandering and sulky.

| Feb 14, 2008

Put simply, the film excels most at not being awful.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Feb 14, 2008

[Reynolds] is -- once again -- better than his material, which relies too heavily on obvious sentimentality and lazy '90s nostalgia.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 14, 2008

Is Definitely, Maybe the best romantic comedy released so far this year? Definitely. Should you go see it? Maybe.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 14, 2008

Definitely, Maybe, written and directed by Adam Brooks, is a nimble and winning little romance.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 14, 2008

A romantic comedy with brains as well as heart, Definitely, Maybe is that rare studio release that feels like it was written by a human being, not by committee.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 14, 2008

To sum up, Definitely, Maybe is crap with compensations.
