At least this cool new shill doesn't sound like a liar. The flick has a positive review up on AICN -- which this type of movie usually doesn't appeal to. I liked the trailer and will give it a shot at some point in the next week; especially after the awful reviews for Jumper.

A reworking of the time of times off born in the uk..

This would appear to be it.

Saw this tonight with the wife. It was actually a pretty decent movie. A good date movie. Enough humor to keep things interesting. I always like Ryan Reynolds. Kevin Kline is good in this too. I give it a B-

Great movie. Saw it with the wife tonight and we both really enjoyed it. Had some real heart tugging moments, and the comedy was really genuine.

Matthew Chmiel

I saw it tonight with the girlfriend.

We both really liked it, however, my problems lie with the film's ending. It's about fifteen minutes too long, but I blame that more on the script's problem on how to properly end the film on a happy note.

You're both shills! So are your wives!

I'm not sure what a "shill" is ...... but I saw this last night and I thought it was great. Everything that I expected and more.

Go see this one, well worth it.

It's the Love, Actually syndrome -- It's solid but doesn't know when to call it quits as it is trying to hit an earned destination, even if it has to drag it out to do so.

If it really is decent - sounds like I may take the wife in a couple of weeks when it goes on the five buck club.

A shill is someone who is supposed to have an unbiased opinion but is really in league with the owners or whoever. In the early days of Vegas they used to pay shills to gamble to keep the games looking popular.

Very classy.

With Love Actually, I feel that a lot of the plots were tied up nicely at the end (regardless or not if the plots ended up on positive or negative).

With Definitely, Maybe ...


I'm sure there are many ways the ending could've went as well with keeping the consistency of the first 90 minutes.

Patman

"Definitely, Maybe" is a near-miss in terms of a "love definitely, maybe conquers all" genre vehicle. I blame the casting of Ryan Reynolds for some of the problems with the film's premise (Reynolds plays William, who relates to his daughter Maya the story of how he met her mother of his child in the face of divorce, while turning it into a mystery to engage his daughter's curiousity). Reynolds just seems a little out of his depth to deal with this material, and it's apparent as he is surrounded by a nice cast (Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher, Rachel Weisz, Abigail Breslin, and Kevin Kline) that makes his performance stick out like a sore thumb in spots. After recounting the relationships that led up to Maya being born, the film takes much too long to wrap it up than it should have, which lends itself to a fatigueing finish, and undermines the script's momentum it built up for the first 3/4 of the film. But, even though the film is probably 10 minutes too long, it's not a bad film, just not a film that's going to sweep you off your feet in terms of its romantic dramedy premise.

I give it 2.5 stars, or a grade of C+.

I've been seeing many positive reviews for this rom-com. From Entertainment Weekly, SF Chronicle, to NY Times.

It was really good. A lot better than any of the other romantic comedies out lately. Abigail was hilarious in the movie. The theatre wasn't too crowded though. It looks like this movie is going to be beaten by crap like Jumper & Step Up 2

DRG

I really enjoyed this. It's nice to see a romantic comedy come up with a fresher method of creating 'romantic suspense' than the ridiculous ways most romcoms do.

beavismom

I thought this was a decent romantic comedy. It wasn't the best ever, but I don't feel like I wasted my money. I was worried about Ryan Reynolds being able to carry this kind of part, but was pleasantly surprised. The movie did take a little too long to wrap up and I am not sure I believe that Maya would be so quick to embrace a new girlfriend for her dad.

I decided not to get this movie when it was released. I liked it in the theaters, but in retrospect I decided it wasn't that good. It ended up being a story about the girls' mom being a whorebag. Maybe mom 1 was banging an old geyser and making a play for daddy in the hallway at the same time. Maybe mom 2 banged the old roommate in what was probably a drunken encounter. It wasn't presented as though she was dating the old roommate just banged him for whatever reason. All people have a sexual history but your daughters' bedtime story should not be her mothers.

amplified

And you probably shouldn't bring your daughter with you to meet your ex when she is still dealing with the separation of her parents.

Raul3

I just watched it with my wife, we rented it. Pretty good movie, Ryan Reynolds (aka Man of the Year for me) does a good job, nothing great, it's a romantic comedy, but good enough to keep the suspense. All the ladies look wonderful, I can't decide which looked better.
I almost cried when he said that she was the happy ending.

Charlie Goose

Yeah, I got a little lump in my throat from that line too. Cheesy, but still effective.

I enjoyed the hook of not knowing who the mother is until near the end of the film, even if Reynolds is telling his daughter that


Reynolds is a little out of his league, and I'm not just saying that because he's married to the hottest chick in Hollywood.
