Today I re-watched the movie, ‘Definitely, Maybe’. 'Definitely, Maybe' is one of my all-time favorite romantic comedy movies. I first watched this film when a friend rented it to me when I was staying a summer in France 10 years ago. I loved this movie instantly and has been re-watching it almost every 2 years, ever since.
Let me recount you the plot of the movie. The movie's story is a story within a story told by William Hayes (played by Ryan Reynolds), a pretty handsome-looking man, in his late 30's, who works in an advertisement company in NYC. William is in the midst of a divorce and, on one night, he decides to tell this 'mystery love story' to his 10-year-old daughter, Maya; Will tells her how he met three different women, making her guess who her mother is. (William changes all the name of the characters and a few facts in his story, letting her guess.:))
The first woman he meets is Emily (Elizabeth Banks). They meet at college, and are couples who live together for a while afterwards. However, Hayes aspires to become a politician, so he leaves for NYC to work for Bill Clinton's political campaign. Emily is opposed of William's idea of becoming 'something big' and says she would instead like to just stay in the hometown. Despite living apart for a while, the two continue with their long-distance, but sweet relationship.
One day, Emily visits William in NYC after a while. William proposes to Emily, but she refuses, saying she'd like to let him go because of his big dream that she could not take.
However, many years after, they reunite at a party.
The second woman he meets is Summer (Rachel Weisz). Summer is actually an old friend of Emily's, and William meets her when Emily sends Summer a diary through William.
Summer is a beautiful and talented journalist. She can be quite bold and reckless as to kiss William when she first meets him, saying "she's encouraged to cultivate her curiosity in order to become a good journalist."
Sometime after Emily has broken up with Will, Summer and Will begin to date. Loving Summer, William plans to give her an engagement ring, but Summer writes an article that goes against the the campaign that he works for. Because of this incident, they break up, and William loses his job.
Third woman he meets is April (Isla Fisher). April is a stylish, smart and funny girl, but she's always living kind of a spontaneous and unambitious life, without a definite direction in her life.
They meet while they both are doing part-time jobs at the Clinton's campaign. They bond quickly and get along well as close friends. April later travels around the world, and they exchange letters and develop their friendship. Their relationship is always in somewhere between best friends and romance. Along the years, they go on to date different partners, and every time each has a chance to tell the other about their feelings, the other is with a partner.
She later goes to a graduate school and works at Amnesty International.
At present, April and William haven't talked for a while because a little misunderstanding caused by William.
William, in the present NYC, is now in the midst of a divorce. Maya finds out that Emily is really her mother, who is now divorcing William. When Will finishes telling her the story of the three women, she urges that Will's unhappy now, as he seems very lonely. After hearing his story in a third person perspective, Maya realizes that he is really in love with April, and so is her. She tells William to go tell April how he really feels for her.
They go to April's house in Brooklyn to tell her all the stories, but she refuses to let them in initially. However, with help of Maya, they resolve all the misunderstandings, and Will confesses his love for April. The movie ends as they sweetly kiss each other.
I find this movie very stylish and attracting. I don't know what it is that makes me feel so. Maybe it's an ensemble between the sweet soundtracks, plausible stories intertwined with real historical events (such as presidential elections), and good actors.
Anyway, this movie will always be my favorite. It was interesting that Director Adam Brooks both wrote and directed this film. I'm amazed at his talent for writing such a beautiful story.

Today I re-watched the movie, ‘Definitely, Maybe’.
'Definitely, Maybe' is one of my all-time favorite romantic comedy movies.
I first watched this film when a friend rlented it to me when I was staying a summer in France 10 years ago.
"rented" would mean you paid them money, so I think you meant "lent".
I instantly loved this movie instantly and hasve been re-watching it almost every 2 years, ever since.
"instantly" sounds better to me before the verb here, but either way is fine.
Let me recount to you the plot of the movie.
"recount" sounds a bit too official here, but it works. Maybe "relate to you" or simply "tell you"?
The movie's story is a story within a story told by William Hayes (played by Ryan Reynolds), a pretty handsome-looking man, in his late 30's, who works in an advertisement company in NYC.
William is in the midst of a divorce and, on one night, he decides to tell this 'mystery love story' to his 10-year-old daughter, Maya; Will tells her how he met three different women, making her guess who her mother is.
(William changes all the names of all the characters and a few facts in his story, letting her guess. :))
"all the names" makes it sound like each character has more than one name.
The first woman he meets is Emily (Elizabeth Banks).
They meet at college, and arefterwards become a couples who live together for a while afterwards.
However, Hayes aspires to become a politician, so he leaves for NYC to work for Bill Clinton's political campaign.
Emily is opposed tof William's idea of becoming 'something big' and says she would instead like to just stay in their hometown.
It could be either "their" or "her" (or "his"), but not "the".
Despite living apart for a while, the two continue with their long-distance, but sweet relationship.
One dayAfter some time, Emily visits William in NYC after a whileone day in NYC.
William proposes to Emily, but she refuses, saying she'd like to let him go because of his big dream that she could not takeaccept.
However, many years lafter, they reunite at a party.
The second woman he meets is Summer (Rachel Weisz).
Summer is actually an old friend of Emily's, and William meets her when Emily sends Summer a diary through William.
Summer is a beautiful and talented journalist.
She can be quite bold and was even reckless asenough to kiss William when she first meets him, saying "she's been encouraged to cultivate her curiosity in order to become a good journalist."
If that's an actual quote than I shouldn't have fixed it, but it seemed a bit off to me.
Sometime after Emily has broken up with Will, Summer and Will begin to date.
LovingIn love with Summer, William plans to give her an engagement ring, but Summer writes an article that goes against the the campaign that he works for.
Because of this incident, they break up, and William loses his job.
The third woman he meets is April (Isla Fisher).
April is a stylish, smart, and funny girl, but she's always living kind of a spontaneous and unambitious life, without any definite direction in her life.
"in her life" is a bit redundant since you already said "life" earlier.
They meet while they both are doing part-time jobs at the Clinton's campaign.
They bond quickly and get along well as close friends.
April later travels around the world, and they exchange letters and develop their friendship.
Their relationship is always in somewhere between best friends and romance.
AlongOver the years, they go on to date different partners, and every time each has a chance to tell the other about their feelings, the other is already with a partner.
The "already" I added isn't completely necessary, but it helps emphasize the point I think you are trying to make.
She later goes to a graduate school and works at Amnesty International.
At present, April and William haven't talked for a while because of a little misunderstanding caused by William.
William, in the presently in NYC, is now in the midst of a divorce.
Maya finds out that Emily is really her mother, who is now divorcing William.
When Will finishes telling her the story of the three women, she urgeinsists that Will' is unhappy now, as he seems very lonely.
"urges" makes it sound like she has a request or wants him to do something.
After hearing his story infrom a third person perspective, Maya realizes that he is really in love with April, and so is sher.
She tells William to go tell April how he really feels forabout her.
They go to April's house in Brooklyn to tell her all ththe whole storiesy, but she initially refuses to let them in initially.
"All the stories" could be OK, but "the whole story" is more common and sounds natural to me.
However, with help of Maya, they resolve all their misunderstandings, and Will confesses his love for April.
The movie ends as they sweetly kiss each other.
I find this movie very stylish and attracting.
I don't know what it is that makes me feel so.
Maybe it's an ensemble between combination of the sweet soundtracks, plausible stories intertwined with real historical events (such as presidential elections), and good actors.
I wouldn't use "ensemble" in this way, and "between" suggests only two things, whereas here you have three.
Anyway, this movie will always be my favorite.
It was interesting that Director Adam Brooks both wrote and directed this film.
I'm amazed at his talent forin writing such a beautiful story.
