Definitely, Maybe, which was written and directed by Adam Brooks, has charm and spirit.
Tthe performances are very strong.
Everything feels derivative and nothing rings true -- it's The Way We Weren't.
Definitely, Maybe isn't terrible exactly, but it's bland, and in some ways that's worse. It's a romance posing as a detective story in which the solution is obvious and not worth the fuss.
This highly uneven comedy by writer-director Adam Brooks might be easier to take if it were less infatuated with its own cuteness.
It's no accident that the producers Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan, are the pair responsible for such romantic comedies as Love Actually, About a Boy, Bridget Jones's Diary and Notting Hill, all starring Hugh Grant.
More satisfying than your cookie-cutter romantic comedy but far less overwrought than a full-blown period romance, it finds a satisfying and cuddly middle ground.
This is straight-up young people whining about their relationships.
It's sweet natured and brightly played.
While clearly aimed at women, many men could find it as entertainingly endurable as did I.
The movie has heart and humor; the two most important traits for any romantic comedy.
The writing is clever, the acting is good, and this is pretty much as good a chick flick as you're going to get.
Modern romance may be more realistic in Definitely, Maybe, but it's also less satisfying than the illusions that classic romantic movies create about amore.

If you're looking for a nice romantic comedy for your Valentine's Day date, look no further%u2014Definitely, Maybe is positively it.
For all the unnatural setup, it's amazing that the performances come off so naturally.
All of the romantic scenes work here, but anytime it switched gears and started focusing on the politics, it lost me.
Who will our unlucky in love protagonist ultimately choose? Even if one correctly surmises, the journey is filled with quietly humorous and engaging moments.
Not entirely successful, but worth a look.
It may not be a dense, delectable treat, but while it's around, Definitely, Maybe is pleasant enough.
