As many of my readers know, I am a Netflix junky. I watch between 2 and 5 movies per week. Sometimes I sit down and watch them and sometimes I multitask while viewing. This weeks latest picture was the new release of "Definitely, Maybe". I always appreciate little sayings that are contradictory in itself. My favorite being "consistently inconsistent", but I digress. Back to the movie, it was one I really wanted to see in person, but my movie partner Nick flat out refused because A) it was by the creators of Love Actually (a movie that I have subjected him to so many times he knows all the characters names and yet still does not like the movie) and B) it is from the writers of Four Weddings and a Funeral and Nick thinks British people are full of themselves. Hey, I didn't say I agree with him! So I was forced to wait til DVD release. Low and behold I received it the first day it came out and excitedly ran home and popped it into the DVD player. Wow...... what can I say. Kinda disappointing? maybe. Definitely, maybe.
First of all, I don't think super cutie frat boy Ryan Reynolds can hold a movie by himself. Though nice to look at he seemed to mock the whole movie he was acting in! And the "love interests" were all kind of boring to me. With the exception of Isla Fisher who's hair is so beautiful I just stare at it jealously. I waited months for this one and maybe the hype got to me, but it was somber and really slow and dare I say boring? I had to force myself to stay up until 11pm to finish it because I wanted to put it in the mail this morning.
