Definitely, Maybe

Last night, Stephanie and I watched Definitely, Maybe. At first glance, I wasn't sure what to expect from the movie. However, because the little girl who plays the daughter is one of our favorite little actors we figured it was probably a fair movie.

By the end of the movie, I was very impressed with the soulful theme portrayed by the story and its characters. They took perfectly real life experiences and molded them into a complex tale of a man grasping at any shred of a dream, somehow getting in his own way while living a life molded with memories of half-regretful events and half-acknowledged gems of relationships. In the end, we were left with a feeling of being able to wholly relate to the slew of his confusion which eventually turns to something akin to success; it gave us all a little hope that time eventually heals all wounds by virtue of its utter patience. The movie itself portrayed a realistic application to the statement “You may not get everything right, but you will never get everything wrong.”
