Hey, everyone
This week I will be talking about a movie that I recommended to everyone, the romantic comedy Definitely Maybe, starring Ryan Reynolds.
Consider first that you are a successful father who has had a past filled with love, achievement and heart ache; however, the biggest achievement is your daughter. You do anything and everything for her, she is your world now. I say now because the mother is now your ex and you hate your job, it lacks your attention and passion. Reynolds played this character, the devoted father who has lost his ambition and his personal life has fallen apart. His daughter tries to repair her broken father, in her attempt to save her mother and father’s marriage, she stumbles upon the answer to Reynolds heart ache. Will (Reynolds) goes into detail about the history behind how his ex-wife and he met. The movie travels throughout three of Will’s girlfriends, the three women that he has loved. Will by the end rediscovers who his heart is connected to; however, the girl may or may not end up being his ex-wife, which is a surprise to the daughter. Along the way this movie is light hearted and shares a story that many people can relate to. Everyone wants to find love, sometimes love is blind and most of the time everyone makes mistakes because of love. This movie has all of that. Throughout the movie I chose my favourite girlfriend and found myself quietly rooting for her.
April (Isla Fisher) plays the most loveable of all the girlfriends in my opinion, and she really establishes herself as a legitimate actor that is able to branch out from being the crazy girlfriend of Vince Vaughn in Wedding Crashers.
The movie allows you to reminisce about your life, where you have been and how did you get to where you are. During and after the movie the thought crossed my mind that the past is always present in our future; also we can never truely forget our past, it has helped shape who we are today.
Overall I give this movie an 8/10. This week I recommend everyone to go out and see Meet Joe Black for a romantic night, Forgetting Sarah Marshall for light comedy with a hint of romance and if you’re heading to the theatres you might want to check out the romantic comedy He’s just not that into you.
