---|---|---|---|
United States | The New York Times | "While 'Definitely, Maybe' is hardly perfect, it navigates the choppy waters of modern courtship with commendable, understated honesty" | POS |
United States | Variety | "A pleasingly non-formulaic romantic seriocomedy, 'Definitely, Maybe' has charm and some depth" | POS |
United Kingdom | Empire | "Sweet, funny, simple, entertaining -- everything a good rom-com should be. Definitely" | POS |
United States | SFGATE | "A sophisticated story of disappointment and accommodation" | POS |
United States | Chicago Tribune | "Keeps you interested in its characters and isn’t afraid of complicating your sympathies a little. In these dog-day months for romantic comedy, that means a lot." | POS |
United States | Chicago Reader | "This highly uneven comedy by writer-director Adam Brooks might be easier to take if it were less infatuated with its own cuteness" | NEU |
United States | New York Post | "Is 'Definitely, Maybe' the best romantic comedy released so far this year? Definitely. Should you go see it? Maybe." | POS |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "There’s a surprising – and truthful – melancholic undercurrent to Definitely, Maybe, but Brooks undermines that truthfulness with a dogmatic insistence upon romantic mythologizing" | NEU |
United States | USA Today | "Though the structure occasionally strains and Reynolds is not the most charismatic of actors, it is a consistently watchable movie that avoids the treacly and clichéd elements of many romantic comedies (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)" | POS |
