Review of Definitely, Maybe (2008) by Chase L — 12 Mar 2010
I actually fell off my chair:
- An 11-year-old girl has an explicit sex class in school.
- Her reaction is senseless and unfunny.
- Her father is committing divorce.
- The same @sshole father confesses her unrealistically mature and objective little daughter that he was:
1) A smoker.
2) An alcoholic.
3) A whore.
- Thanks to the previous stupidity, the daughter is left traumatized and hurt.
- The main argument of the film, at one point, stops being A (who is the real mother of the girl) to B (oh, I am a fuck!ng loser who had a shot with three extremely hot and pretty girls and blew it).
- The main argument of the film is established thanks to one very important questioning about the existence of mankind and the meaning of life itself: "What's the boy word for 'slut'?".
- It is obvious who is the real goddamn mother.
- You actually stop giving a f#ck about who will end up being with the guy in the end... before the first half of the film ends.
- Considering the previous point, you feel neutral, disinterested and empty seeing the ending.
- Ryan Reynolds is an @ss.
-Cliché after cliché after cliché. The film does not know how to balance two things: being a family film and being a "romantic comedy".
I'll never pick the first film I find when changing the channels...
46/100.
