Will Hayes (Ryan Reynolds), a thirtysomething Manhattanite, is in the middle of divorce proceedings when his young daughter (Abigail Breslin) asks him about his life before marriage, including how he met and fell in love with her mother. Will flashes back to 1992 and recounts his romances with three women, changing their names so that his daughter must guess which one became his wife.

It feels overworked at times, a gimmick saved largely by the chemistry of its players. But this high-concept tale of modern love is also sweet and sour in the best ways.

It's just a shame that "Maybe" didn't trust its material enough to deliver a more satisfying experience.

Ben M Really like this movie. Heart warming. Just a nice film to watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars • Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/24 Full Review Tatum M I know this might be me. But I could not sit through this movie, very sexual and weird things. Made me uncomfortable. I am 17 and I thought it should be rated R. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/26/24 Full Review Gabriel V Heartwarming and sweet feeling from start to finish. Reminiscent of The Princess Bride but modernized and more layers to the love story. A must watch for someone who has depleted the romcom genre and is looking for more of the feel good stuff we seek in these types of movies. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/10/24 Full Review Frederick T It was pretty good - I really liked the flashback aspect of it and when does Ryan ever miss Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review Tomas B Muy linda película. De las mejores románticas de los 2000 hasta hoy. La historia me pareció muy original y la manera de narrarla también. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Mike W A heartfelt film with beautiful performances by the five leads (Reynolds, Weisz, Fisher, Banks, Breslin). It's not a complicated film, but one that will always cheer you up and make you believe in love. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
