    • Trivia
      The Two Guys Deli is not a real bodega, it was made for the movie. Yet, in real life people would try to come in and buy things and the production almost got a citation from the city inspector for selling cigarettes without the tax stamps as he didn't realize it was just a set.

    • Quotes

      April: Oooh? What are you gonna say?

      Will Hayes: I'm still working on it I don't know

      April: OH! You should work it on with me you should practice with me; I'm really good at that.

      [Walks over to the railing]

      April: I'll be Emily.

      April: I'm Emily your college sweetheart is there something you wanted to ask me?

      Will Hayes: Emily...

      April: Wait! You gotta get down on your knee

      Will Hayes: No I'm not getting down on my knee

      April: [Walks towards Will] She'll like it; she'll like seeing you down on your knee...

      Will Hayes: I'm not getting down on my knee

      April: [Rolls her eyes and walks back to the railing and turns around] Such a mistake! Okay

      Will Hayes: Emily...

      April: Yes William?

      Will Hayes: Don't make me laugh! Emily will you... um... marry me?

      April: No

      Will Hayes: Oh my god...

      April: What do you mean, 'Will you, um, marry me?' I haven't seen you in weeks! You don't look happy or excited about the prospect of our marriage! You're asking me to give up my - my freedom, my joie de vivre for an institution that fails as often as it succeeds? And why should I marry you anyway? I mean, why do you wanna marry me? Besides some bourgeois desire to fulfil an ideal that society embeds in us from an early age to promote a consumer capitalist agenda?

      Will Hayes: Oh! Oh, my God.

      April: You should've got on your knee.

      Will Hayes: Just shut up! Here... I wanna marry you because you're the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time that I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly, when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing left to do. So, will you, um, marry me?

      April: Definitely. Maybe.

    Perfect casting is what makes this movie wonderful
    I was completely astonished the first time I saw the movie, Definitely, Maybe. It truly was, as my summary suggests, absolutely wonderful, and that has mostly to do with the performances by the casts' dedication, though the plot and execution of the entire film was remarkable, as well, and the whole atmosphere and the way the movie folds out is incredible.

    It was so touching and completely entertaining from beginning to end, while being humorous and overall fun at the same time. The acting was great, as I have said, and the script was great, because of everyone who worked on the films' professionalism and believability. They did a perfect job on this movie, and I thought they couldn't have done better with what they had to work with.

    There was some material I found a bit iffy, and at one point I felt as if I was losing interest, just a little, but this movie is so uplifting that I couldn't manage to look away, and it kept being miraculously beautiful and enchanting that I couldn't help but be so interested. It deserves any positivity it receives, and I hope that many more people will watch it, because it is an excellent movie, that needs to be spread around for it's wonderfulness. Go see it if you haven't!
