Romancing the weekend

Definitely, Maybe is a poignant story of love loss and confusion. Love is something most people spend a lifetime looking for and marriage is something that happens due to circumstances. The narrative takes us into the mind of a father who is trying to explain to his daughter the distraught life that he is leading. Getting divorce from the child’s mother and her inquisition to find out his reasons of his failure to find true love he discovers that he had love all along and just didn’t realise it.

The movie stars Ryan Reynolds (Will Hayes) and Abigail Breslin (Maya Hayes) as his daughter. You might remember her for her splendid performance in Little Miss Sunshine. Supported by Isla Fisher (April) as his love interest, Elizabeth Banks ( Emily) his wife, Rachel Weisz (Summer Hartley) the lovely journalist and one of his love interests and Derek Luke (Russel Mccormack) his best friend.

This 2006 release star the now superstar Sarah Jessica Parker (Paula) of the enormously popular Tv series and now a major motion picture Sex and the City fame and Matthew Mcconaughey (Tripp). The plot is simple. Paula is hired by Tripp’s parents to date him and basically get him to move out of the house. As the plot unfolds, the hunter becomes the hunted and the hunted becomes the hunter which is quite irrelevant because by the end of the movie both of them actually fall in love with each other. Quite a predictable plot with some funny moments and Matthew Mcconaughey’s display of a greatly athletic physique if that makes any of you girls happy. Zooey Deschanel (Kit) Paula’s eccentric room mate is worth a mention for her histrionics. Failure to Launch is definitely worth a miss.
