(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1   "Definitely a comedy, maybe a romance -- has enough sophistication and surprise to keep even the most hardened curmudgeon smiling to the bittersweet end."   Channel 4 Film   Anton Bitel "Nostalgic, warm, bittersweet, and thoroughly entertaining, 'Definitely Maybe' earns a place on my list of favorite contemporary romantic comedies."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker A "How is this for a proposition? From now on, Working Title Films is the only production company that is allowed to make films in this genre."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark B+ "You're telling me that the script dreams up a main character who attends the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1992, and he has no idea who Nirvana is? The screenwriter clearly wasn't doing his homework."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf B "For a Valentine's Day romantic comedy Definitely, Maybe hits all the right notes of commitment, honesty and maturity that go into a young father's explanation to his daughter about the women he dated before she was conceived."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 2.5/4 "...ultimately doesn't fare much better than its mediocre brethren..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair C "When it comes to recent romantic comedies, you could do much worse."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "It's all been done before, and better. Furthermore, the nearly two full hours it takes to reach its foregone conclusion begins to pry on one's nerves."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "It's just unconventional enough in its structure to pique my interest, while still hewing close to the basic elements that rom-com fans expect."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "Definitely, Maybe is what happens when someone decides to make a romantic comedy, then sits down and thinks about it for a while before setting out to write."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov C "Maybe you'll enjoy this, but it's definitely no romantic comedy classic."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "An appealing romantic comedy that will inspire you to retell the story of your own romantic journey."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Brooks' take on the ups and downs of modern romance and the unexpected turns it takes is smart, funny, and (above all) uncommon."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 4/5 "Definitely, Maybe has the 'meet cute,' but it also has all the things that can come after -- the awkward moments, the scary possibility of hope, the comforts of sadness, the tough talks, the ugly partings, the hard-won reconciliations."   Cinematical   James Rocchi 8/10 "Click here to read review"   vj.net.ua   Jaroslav Vishtaljuk 4.5/5 "We get a rare look at a long personal journey through relationships (including his relationship to politics) from the point of view of the man, and a new appreciation of the silver lining on even the saddest cloud."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B- "while...definitely a cut above the usual February fodder, it maybe feels too second hand with roots in everything from The Princess Bride's bedtime story structure to television's How I Met Your Mother's teasing central concept."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2.5/5 "Short on mystery and long on testing our patience for obligatory coincidence."   UR Chicago Magazine   Mark Dujsik B- "Definitely, Maybe stumbles along the way to its destination just like its protagonist does, but the humor and heart compensate for the lack of sure footing that extends all the way to the uncertainty in the title."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[A]n instant classic. The kind of movie people will still be devouring and marveling at and leaking happy tears over a century from now."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/5 "Definitely, Maybe is an explosion of sweetness and hugs that might cause your stomach to churn if you don't like your sentimentality too strong."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro 2.5/5 "An explosion of sweetness and hugs that might cause your stomach to churn if you don't like your sentimentality too strong."   Film Threat   Michael Ferraro B- "Halfway through Kevin Kline shows up in a performance of such vitality and honesty that it shows how two-dimensional the rest of the movie is."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/4 "All the performances are fine, yet they're fine mainly because there's almost nothing in the script to severely botch, so safe, rote, and mildly soporific are the proceedings."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager A "No maybes about it, definitely an exceptional romantic comedy."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten C+ "It feels overworked at times, a gimmick saved largely by chemistry. But it's also sweet and sour in the best ways..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 4/5 "I let my guard down and was completely surprised by the sweet, happy finale, which Brooks and his cast definitely earn."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 7/10 "Soulful and sweet-natured, this enjoyably romantic whodunit proves that living "happily ever after" isn't quite so easy."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 6/10 "Sweet, charming...and not particularly funny for even a moment."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton B- Read review   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford  (1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 71% Fresh Page   1
