definitely, f'real

"Oh hey sugar lumps, want to make out? Definitely, maybe."

Big ups on this movie. I wanted to see it because it's a romantic comedy starring a guy, and Abigail Breslin is such a warlock. Peace out Dakota Fanning. You're not even cute, Abigail got you. She even made me watch No Reservations...however, that's not a hard sell, cooking and Aaron Eckhart, but a leading role for Catherine Zeta-Jones? That was the tough part. Anyway, point is: THE GIRL MELTS HEARTS. Who doesn't want a daughter like that?

I would have liked more of her input in the movie. While Will Hayes is telling this tale, I think the girl should have been interrupting more..but she was taking notes about who her mother might be..so it's all good. ..and the parts she was in, she be shining.

The story itself was great, actually. I'm very happy with the amount of sincerity that RyRey shows. He's SUCH a great guy, LJBF..NOT!
Nah, it was good. Very honest, there could be a bit more depth with his emotional investment on each of the 3 girls...and how he ends up loving them. That might have been better. I understand the attraction with all of them...I'm happy.

Definitely, Maybe - 4/5

oh, ho...it was a funny feeling

Hmm, Atonement. Really wasn't what I expected. I expected it to be the greatest love story of all time, then I realized…"This isn't Lord of the Rings.." so maybe it's the 2nd best love story of all time..but that would put it pretty close to the love of Jay and Silent Bob.
Regardless, I wanted tears, mother fucker..like The Notebook..but not as sappy...and it wasn't sappy. It was really just a tale of a dumb girl and the consequences of assumptions. In that sense, it was cool. Different, I guess...but Oscar worthy? Maybe..because of the British Dialogue and solid plot..but entertainment value = poop.

Atonement - 3.5/5
