PG13,1hr 51min Released: February 14, 2008 Director: Distributor: Universal Pictures Starring: DVD Review by Sean Axmaker, Special to MSN Movies Ryan Reynolds is a doting dad who, on the eve of his divorce, casts the tale of the loves of his life as a bedtime story for his daughter (Abigail Breslin). He changes the names of the three women who rocked his world (played by Elizabeth Banks, Isla Fisher and Rachel Weisz) to transform the story into a postmodern romantic mystery (which one will he marry?), a gimmick saved largely by chemistry and charisma. Yet the high-concept tale of modern love is also sweet and sour in the best ways. We share his journey from youthful idealism to adult resignation to the compromises of life, riding the romantic highs and rocky lows to the genuinely charming ending. Derek Luke and Kevin Kline co-star. The DVD features commentary by director Adam Brooks and star Reynolds, the making-of featurette "Creating a Romance," "The Changing Times of Definitely, Maybe" (on the use of production design and fashion to chart the changing times), and deleted scenes. Available in separate wide-screen and full-screen editions. | ||||||||||||||
