DEFINITELY OR MAYBE?

So I re-watched Definitely Maybe on TV and I remembered why I love the movie - mainly because of the cast. I became a huge fan of Isla Fisher because she is so beautiful and I love her live-life-as-it-goes attitude in the movie.

I also love Rachel Weist, even though in the movie, her character isn't one that many like. She plays a really strong, flirtatious and career driven woman. She is a journalist who wants to expose the truth and because of that, had caused her boyfriend's career. Well, I think I admire some parts of her character which makes her successful but I don't appreciate her betraying loved ones to advance.

And Ryan Reynolds is a hot but I still think that he's just too young to be a father in the movie. Therefore, a chemistry is lacking between him and his daughter, played by Abigail Breslin. 

The way the storyline is presented is also very interesting and creative. A father (Ryan Reynolds) tells a story about three women and have his daughter guess who her mother is. At least it is not a conventional and predictable storyline. It really kept me guessing who the mother is. To find out, you'll also have to watch it for yourself.

Most memorable quote from the movie is made by Isla: "It's not the right person, but the right time"

This is a quote which I have to agree, even though I hope is not true. Sometimes, even if you love someone with all your heart, if the timing is not right, you won't end up with that person. You will end up with someone you meet when you feel you're ready. So sad...isn't it?

Well, I can only hope that the person I truly love will appear at the exact time when both of us are ready. If you are in actuarial science, could you be kind enough to tell me the probability of that happening?

Anyway, I think this movie will be a great company on a lonely or dull Saturday or Sunday night. It is not like a great blockbuster, but sweet enough to get you all mushy and dreamy.

One thing though, it's not what I'd call a romantic comedy. Just romantic, because there is no comedy.
