Definitely, Maybe


I caught the movie Definitely, Maybe on HBO last Sunday. This movie is on my list of must-sees, along with Serendipity and Sweet Home Alabama -- movies that I didn't get to see but I should see, because I'm Chubbs. :p

When the credits rolled, I realized that there was a pre-defined ending all the while. Before the writers even got to work on the details of the three girlfriends, they knew that Will was going to end up with April. Their job was just to fill in the gap between the beginning and the great ending. They built the plot, they left us hanging, and kept us guessing. They filled in the little details. I know that no matter how they wrote the story, no matter how many girlfriends or misadventures the characters had, the ending will be exactly the same: Will ends up with April.

God must be one heck of a writer. Only He knows the ending to my love story. I trust that it'll be more magical than some Hollywood chick flick that I love love loved.

    Indeed... and that ending will just be the start of the real love story. =)

    i watched this in my SG-ML flight. good thing the flight was not full - my row was empty ... or else, ma-eskandalo sila sa humihikbing babaita :P (na sa totoo eh kinikilig lang naman)

    or maybe it helped the both of them realize in the end who they really want to spend the rest of their lives with... Hahaha. (ang haba ng sentence na yun ah)
