Definitely, Maybe

DEFINITELY, MAYBE (2008) - Feb. 13, 2008
Sort of like How I Met Your Mother: the movie, this is about a father who tells his daughter the story of how he met her mother, only without telling her which woman in the story turns out to be her mom. The director definitely gets props for trying something a bit different in a well-worn genre, though the film is otherwise entirely conventional (not that that's necessarily a bad thing). The film does overstay its welcome a bit (no romantic comedy should be over 90 minutes -- no exceptions!), and it is a bit disheartening to see an actor as good as Derek Luke relegated to playing the sassy black friend, but this is generally an enjoyable film. **1/2
