Film Review
Definitely, Maybe
Written and directed by Adam Brooks
Universal
2008
Rating: 
"Definitely, Maybe" plays like a big screen version of the CBS sitcom "How I Met Your Mother": that is to say it's surprisingly charming and a little weird in the graphic details a father provides his offspring about the manner in which he met his wife. Prompted by an impending divorce and a premature sex education class, precocious Maya (Abigail Breslin) asks her father Will (Ryan Reynolds) for the story of what brought her parents together. Will agrees with one strange caveat: the story will be a "romantic mystery" with changed names so Maya will have to guess which of the three women Will has fallen for since 1992 is, in fact, her mother. The gimmick pays off even if it doesn't make much sense because his romantic entanglements with college sweetheart Emily (Elizabeth Banks), effervescent office girl April (Isla Fisher) and sophisticated journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz) are genuinely sweet and complexly adult – a minor miracle for today's romantic comedy.
