Definitly, Maybe

Overview:  Before Ryan Reynolds dawned the Green Lantren suit he was having some significant family issues, and he went by the name Will Hayes.  Since Will and his wife wanted to get divorced, his potty-mouthed daughter Maya demands to know why, and will continue shouting out bodyparts in public until her dad explains it.  Fearfull that his daughter will be thrown into sex rehab (what kind of Elementry School teaches that subject? Definitly no thanks to you MTV), Will decides to tell the story of his soon to be x-wife along with the other beautiful lasses he fell in love with during the years.

The Good:  I'm a man who loves to weep.  I like to weep at Halmark cards (when you look at the back of the card, gets me every time), I like to weep at a sad ENYA song, and I LOOVE to weep at a sappy Romantic Comedy/Drama.  This movie didn't make me ball, but it did make my eyes water up like a broken washing machine just like what "Toy Story 3" did.  I'm having a hard time thinking of when Ryan Reynolds wasn't good in a movie, and the only example I could come up with was "X-Men Origens", but that's because his lips were sealed shut and he had swords coming out of his hands....... wait who am I kidding? that was awesome!  Whenever the time comes that the world see's Ryan in a bad movie, we will know that the Apocolypse is upon us.  Abigail Breslin as the lovingly curious daughter was not only hilarious, but suprisingly realistic, because when everyone received the Sex-Talk in school we were still confused... To me it was all related to "Star Wars".  I forgot to mention, the best Actress (politically incorrect, I know) was Isla Fisher, maybe it was her red hair because I'm out to support my people who will inevitably becom extinct.  She was really fun to watch, and stole the scene every single time.

The Bad:  I hate how several Rom-Coms feel that in order to make a great romance they have to have about 80 stories going on at once!  If you want to see why it's becoming such a bad thing, then check out "New York I Love You", C and I wanted to stick out heads in the microwave.  "Definitly, Maybe" doesn't have too many stories going on at once, but there are times when I got lost trying to figure out which girl Ryan Reynolds was talking about. 

The Ugly:  This is a perfect Romantic Comedy that suprisingly enough the whole family can enjoy.  It has a happy ending but with a twist, so prepare to have your minds blown away, then make sure to bring a towel to clean up the mess or at least a tissue to wipe up your tears... for the women only though, because I don't cry at things... uh, I eat raw lamb for breakfast?!
