- 80EmpireEmpireSweet, funny, simple, entertaining -- everything a good rom-com should be. Definitely...
- 75ReelViewsJames BerardinelliReelViewsJames BerardinelliBrooks' take on the ups and downs of modern romance and the unexpected turns it takes is smart, funny, and (above all) uncommon. It's not hard to recommend this on Valentine's Day or at any other time.
- 75Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumAbsolutely, probably more comfortable with human romantic complication than the usual stuff released on Valentine's Day.
- 75San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleSan Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleA sophisticated story of disappointment and accommodation.
- 75Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsKeeps 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.
- 70VarietyDennis HarveyVarietyDennis HarveyA pleasingly non-formulaic romantic seriocomedy, Definitely, Maybe has charm and some depth.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoiceA surprisingly rewarding romantic comedy.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterThe Hollywood ReporterThe film is far from a complete washout, and this is chiefly a tribute to its immensely attractive and appealing cast. Ryan Reynolds proves to have the stuff of a true leading. man.
- 58Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerSeattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerAbigail Breslin, the preteen Oscar nominee for "Little Miss Sunshine" and the most effortless actress of her generation, plays the precocious little girl part without overdoing the precociousness.
- 50Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesAustin ChronicleKimberley JonesThere’s a surprising – and truthful – melancholic undercurrent to Definitely, Maybe – the one commonality between the three women is the heartbreak they induce – but Brooks undermines that truthfulness with a dogmatic insistence upon romantic mythologizing. No maybes about it: The reality is far darker, and more interesting.
