One Paragraph Review: Definitely, Maybe
For most male viewers, Romantic comedies tend to be like a visit to the dentist - something boring that one needs to fight through with occasional moments of intense pain. Through the unholy (though ingenious) use of silly writing, this movie is able to consist of ONLY those climactic super-sappy moments that in most tolerable romantic comedies only last for a few merciful minutes. Here, it's an entire movie of them. This is the romantic comedy equivalent of in intravenous feed of heroin; no background, no build up, no characters, just uninterrupted PURE sap. It's evil genius like the Dodgers acquiring Jake Peavy or choosing beautiful women to serve alcohol. Sexual content has pornography, action sequences have "Transformers," and now sappiness has this movie. Women should have "Definitely, Maybe" on constant loop and men should fear it like they do the phrase "we need to talk."
