This one’s going out to the lads: there is nothing wrong with liking a good chick flick. It may be derivative and might drip serious amounts of cheese in places, but as long as it is crafted with care and genuine emotion, it can be as rewarding an experience as your average shlockbuster. In that spirit, Definitely, Maybe boasts all of the strengths of a quality rom-com (meet-cutes, well-timed laughs, Ryan Reynolds) and, like the best of real-life romances, catches you completely off-guard. It’s just a shame that its premise is a little too similar to How I Met Your Mother. 3/5
