DEFINITELY, MAYBE (2008)
SYNOPSIS
Ryan Reynolds stars as Will Hayes, a 30-something
Manhattan dad in the midst of a divorce when his
10-year-old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), starts
to question him about his life before marriage. Maya
wants to know absolutely everything about how her
parents met and fell in love. Will's story begins in
1992, as a young, starry-eyed aspiring politician who
moves to New York from Wisconsin in order to work
on the presidential campaign. For Maya, Will relives
his past as an idealistic young man learning the ins
and outs of big city politics, and recounts the history
of his romantic relationships with three very
different women. Will hopelessly attempts a
"gentler" version of his story for his daughter and
changes the names so Maya has to guess who is
the woman her father finally married. Is her mother
Will's college sweetheart, the dependable girl next
door Emily (Elizabeth Banks)? Is she his longtime
best friend and confidante, the apolitical April (Isla
Fisher)? Or is she the free-spirited but ambitious
journalist Summer (Rachel Weisz)? As Maya puts
together the pieces of her dad's romantic puzzle,
she begins to understand that love is not so simple
or easy. And as Will tells her his tale, Maya helps
him to understand that it's definitely never too late to
go back...and maybe even possible to find a happy
ending. --© Universal Pictures
