JISHCAND'S LABYRINTH: DEFINITELY REFRESHING !

DEFINITELY, MAYBE

I'm still sad why this film never reached our shores. The trailer was shown but the movie didn't make it. It's frustrating. This would've been a hit to all rom-com lovers out there. Definitely, Maybe is produced by the makers of Notting Hill. This film proves to be different and heartwarming. Definitely, a refreshing romantic dramedy I've seen in years.

Most romantic comedies made in Hollywood are second-rate to awful.. Beautiful ones are exceptional. Excellent ones are even hard to find. Thanks to this film by Adam Brooks called “Definitely, Maybe,” ,a smart romantic comedy with cunning dialogue, entrancing people, and story with a heart with some unexpected twists and turns. Most of all this film is ultimately clean without the kind of sleaziness we've seen in other rom-coms“.

Ryan Reynolds of “The Amityville Horror”( he is damn hot sexy in that horror movie) stars as Will Hayes, father of a 10-year-old daughter, Maya played by Academy Award nominee Abigail Breslin of “Little Miss Sunshine”. Maya is bugging her father, in the midst of a divorce, for the story of how he met her mother. He agrees to tell her the story, but he insists on not using real names. Maya will have to guess which one of the characters in his story ends up being Maya's mother. Will keeps telling his daughter that relationships between adults are complicated. She begins to understand just how complicated they are by the time Will is finished telling his story.

The story is told through a series of flashbacks. I must say that this technique works in the film. Kilig factor? Definitely 100% in the film! Humor? There's a lot and sometimes they are surprising. Is it predictable? No!

I was eagerly hoping for a happy ending coz my bet was kinda flushed in the story. Rom-com films should finish with a feel-good bang. So what's the ending? Well, it's a surprise. You will love it!

It's really good too see the amazing chemistry between the actors. Ryan Reynolds is really cute here. Abigail is really funny as Maya.. Elizabeth banks can be captivating and sweet just like Emily. Rachel Wiesz is an actress to woo as Summer. She is so simple but brilliant to watch. Of all the ladies here, I fell in love with Isla Fisher's character. Isla has a bubbly personality . You will love her smile. She kinda reminds me of Amy Adams actually.

The film is filmed mostly in New York City. It's superb to see a romantic city like New York again in a film. Another good thing here is that there is no villain in the story. It's great not to feel bad sometimes.

The songs featured as background music here are really good. The OST is a must have. Nice and likable collections there.
