As a girl, it is almost inevitable that I enjoy my good share of romantic comedies, or little romantic dramas (I know some girls don’t at all…this is why I said almost inevitable). However, for me there is one movie that stands out. In fact this movie has enough potential to perhaps be one of my favourites of all time. The movie is “Definitely, Maybe”.
It caught my eye and actually touched me. It’s one of those movies that you enjoy watching, but also keeps you thinking when it’s done. In other words, when you’re done watching, you can sit there and stare at the credits, listening to the music while lightly pondering. Yet, I am aware that this might be my sole reaction to this movie. For others this movie might not have such high standing.

“Definitely, Maybe” is about a man named Will who is in the middle of a divorce. His daughter wanted to know the story about how he and her mom met. Reluctant at first, he finally decides to tell her the story but doesn’t tell her who her mother is. His daughter will have to figure out who her mother is between three contestants.
I think the reason why I love this movie so much is that depicts us what “life” really is. Will has his good moments, of success, love, happiness. He also gets his share of terrible moments of heartbreak, joblessness, etc. It has a more realistic view on love and life. It’s not the typical fairy-tale story of a man and woman falling in love, getting married, having a family and living happily ever after. Although the movie still has you gripped on this concept of the love, true love. How people who are meant to be together, end up together. In real life, who knows if that is true though?
“Stop trying to find the real thing, it finds you.” This is what one of the girls in the movie tells Will about true love. I found what she said was so cute and in my opinion to be the truth. Maybe not love, but sudden flings sometimes happen when you least expect it, right?
Anyway, I’ll stop there. I might start quoting more of the movie and someone is telling me I’m quoting people too much lately. He knows who he is and he is right perhaps.
