Definitely, Maybe Reviews
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Despite one of the more contrived framing devices outside an actual frame shop, Definitely, Maybe keeps you interested in its characters and isn't afraid of complicating your sympathies a little.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
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.
Miami Herald
Connie Ogle
Is this movie the best romantic comedy of the year? Maybe not. Do you walk out with a smile on your face? Definitely.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
[Reynolds] is -- once again -- better than his material, which relies too heavily on obvious sentimentality and lazy '90s nostalgia.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Definitely, Maybe, written and directed by Adam Brooks, is a nimble and winning little romance.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Is Definitely, Maybe the best romantic comedy released so far this year? Definitely. Should you go see it? Maybe.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A romantic comedy with brains as well as heart, Definitely, Maybe is that rare studio release that feels like it was written by a human being, not by committee.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Put simply, the film excels most at not being awful.
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
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.
UGO
Jordan Hoffman
This is straight-up young people whining about their relationships.
New Yorker
David Denby
Definitely, Maybe, which was written and directed by Adam Brooks, has charm and spirit.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Tthe performances are very strong.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
The romantic comedy has become such a wasteland of physical humor, predictable plots, and nauseating manipulation that Definitely, Maybe is more remarkable for what it doesn't do.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
Everything feels derivative and nothing rings true -- it's The Way We Weren't.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
This highly uneven comedy by writer-director Adam Brooks might be easier to take if it were less infatuated with its own cuteness.
Salon.com
Mary Elizabeth Williams
Definitely, Maybe isn't a particularly good movie. It's hard to make either romance or comedy out of relationship wreckage, not to mention career ennui, and the pace is often meandering and sulky.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
It is, I suppose, a premise, of sorts, but as writer-director Adam Brooks's Definitely, Maybe galumphs along, it is not a particularly romantic or comedic one.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
It could use some editing toward the conclusion, but it's generally enjoyable, amusing and more sophisticated than most films in this genre.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
To sum up, Definitely, Maybe is crap with compensations.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
There's really nothing terribly wrong with Definitely, Maybe, but there's nothing strikingly right about it, either; it's as good as it needs to be, and no more. It'll do in a Valentine's Day pinch, until something better comes along.
