Definitely, maybe

I sometimes watch a rom-com: my wife forces me to. Usually I think, well, okay, I got through that without too much difficulty after all. But let's not do it again too soon.
  Definitely, maybe is, however, one of the better rom-coms I've seen. It was nicely framed by a father telling his young daughter how he met her mother, without telling her until almost the last minute which of three women in his life's story she actually was.
  It's fairly predictable, but has some good humour. I got a bit fed up with Ryan Reynold's perpetually aren't-I-handsome-but-loveably-useless persona, although paradoxically that's also part of the film's charm.
  So it almost pains me to admit it, but this is a rom-com that's worth watching for a bit of light relief.
