this could have been called how i met your mother, the movie. except, of course, ted is nowhere as handsome as ryan reynold's will hayes. but the storytelling and theme of definitely, maybe are similar to those of himym.
after the opening credits, the film begins with sex education. will hayes' daughter (abigail breslin), now spouting the words "penis" and "vagina," starts asking about how her parents fell in love, and why they are now divorcing. present will hayes recalls his past loves, to answer his daughter's questions.
the characters are charming, and will hayes is really really lovable, thanks to the smart script (smart compared to blah romcoms, like say, the bounty hunter). the women in hayes' life, emily (30 rock's avery, elizabeth banks), summer (rachel weisz), and april (isla fisher, wife of borat ngrr) are equally endearing, and hayes' daughter says this herself. i like that abigail breslin's character is mature, all supportive of her father's happiness. without giving away spoilers, will hayes marries the girl's mom, although he really was more in love with another. however, at the end of the movie, he succeeds in getting together with the one he should have married in the first place. with his daughter's blessing.
and i was like, awww. this is one of the truly likeable romcoms out there. watch it!
