This Kept Me Glued to the TV | Clare

I wanna marry you because you’re the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn’t imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing left to do.

– Will Hayes, Definitely Maybe

*Sigh* I am a sucker for lines like that. I didn’t think I’d like the movie Definitely Maybe but I found myself glued to the TV once I caught the first few scenes while I was flipping channels recently.

I have never been a Ryan Reynolds fan. Well, except when he’s in action films like Blade: Trinity, Smoking Aces and, of course, the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which comes out April 29th here in Asia and May 1 elsewhere (shameless promotion from me for the love of my life’s first Hollywood film, lol). I was never interested to watch this film even when I kept seeing commercials for it on TV but I couldn’t stop watching it once I started.

It’s the script. I think it’s the script. That’s what I loved about it. The banter between Will and his daughter was so witty and yet so natural and the way the two actors (Ryan Reynolds and Abigail Breslin) delivered them were perfect! Most of the other characters had their witty and memorable quotes in the film too. There were just so many quotables in this film – was this by any chance a book before it was made into a movie? If not, it sure sounds like a good one if it were, if that makes any sense.

I really, truly liked this movie. It’s just sad that that Will and his wife ended up divorced, but hey, it happens in real life anyway. Plus, it was obvious that it was April that Will really loved (he was just too late in realizing it)…at least they ended up together in the end. This movie is just a good combination of romance, comedy and a bit of drama…just the way I like it. Not too sappy but not too funny to the point of slapstick either.

Would I watch it again? Definitely, maybe.
