I got caught up a little while ago about a movie on HBO. It’s called Defintely, Maybe and stars, if I’m not mistaken, Ryan Reynolds (Wish I had his physique. Must be all those fat burners). It’s about a young father struggling with a divorce. His 9? 10? year old daughter is mature enough to know what’s  afoot and decides to ask her dad about his life with her mother and how they fell in love.

So Will (the dad) tells about his past and how he shared his life with three very different women, one of who’s Maya’s (the daughter) mother. He changes the names of the women to keep Maya guessing who her mom is. Could it be Emily, his longtime college sweetheart? Or could it be April, the happy-go-lucky, very free girl he met in one cold wintry night? Or maybe it’s Summer, Emily’s best friend and lover of a septuagenarian?

In the end, Maya correctly guesses who her mother might be by the way she brushes back Will’s and then Maya’s own hair. Sometime in the story, Maya takes on the role of adult and helps/convinces Will to follow his heart and be happy.

Memorable qoutes:

Maya: “Dad, I can’t believe you used to drink and smoke and was such a slut!” (This coming from a 9 year old. haha!)

——————————————————–

Will: “I wanna marry you because you’re the first person that 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, so… will you… um…marry me?

April: Definitely, maybe… I have to think about it.

PS Maya makes me wana have a daughter! I swear I’ll spoil her.
