Definitely, Maybe

Anywho, the 3 women I speak of are Emily Jones (played by Elizabeth Banks), Summer Hartley (played by Rachel Weisz), and April Hoffman (played by Isla Fishergoddess). One night, as Will is tucking Maya into bed, she asks him to tell her about how he and her mom met. She asks because they're going through a divorce, and she wants to know why they decided to get married in the first place. He doesn't want to at first, but eventually gives in.

Will starts off by saying that he wants Maya to try to figure out which lady in the story about his love life he's about to tell is actually her mom, so he changes their names. As he tells the story, we get the actual flashbacks of them happening (I mean how good would a movie be if we just saw Ryan Reynolds telling a story for two hours?!?! ACTUALLY… nevermind).

We find out that Emily is Will's college sweetheart, Summer is a friend of Emily (and they actually had a little bit of a relationship going between the two girls), and April works on the Clinton campaign in NYC with Will, she's the copy girl.

Will runs in to April outside of work, and they become quite close friends. He confides in her that he is planning on proposing to Emily, and she suggests that he practice on her since he's a little nervous (see the practice proposal in Fav. Quotes). They go back to her place, an he finds out that before her father died, he gave her a copy of Jane Eyre with a little note to her in the cover. She lost the book and has been looking for it ever since. She has a collection of that one book since she can't walk by a bookstore without checking it out. After they discuss her dream of traveling around the world (but couldn't because of her boyfriend… who she doesn't see very often), he tells her to break up with him, they kiss each other, then he leaves…

When Emily visits him, he proposes, she turns him down and tells him that she cheated on him with his old roommate, Charlie. Clearly heartbroken, he continues on with work and after Clinton becomes president, Will and a buddy (Russell) start their own consulting firm (helping politicians).

As April travels the world, she keeps in touch with Will through letters. Will starts dating Summer, then April finally returns home after she ends up realizing that she loves Will. When she gets together with him, he's buying an engagement ring for Summer. April is heartbroken, but at the time Will doesn't notice it.

However, Will and Summer don't actually get to the point where he wants to propose because she writes a damaging story about the Politician that Will is promoting. They break up, and he quits his job. He ends up drinking a lot after finding out that April has started to date a new guy. One night, while drunk, he confesses to April that he has feelings for her. They get into a fight and part ways.

One day, Will finds the copy of Jane Eyre that April was talking to him about, he buys it and decides to go give it to her. When he gets to her place, he finds that her new boyfriend is now living with her so changes his mind and leaves.

He runs into Summer, goes with her to a party and runs into Emily there. She now lives in NY, and her and Will start to date again. Maya is relieved because she didn't want Summer to end up being her mom, and have her dad not really be her dad. We find out that Emily is actually her mom, and that ends Wills story. He tells Maya that she was the happy ending of his story.

While unpacking his things (after moving), Will runs into the copy of Jane Eyre that he wanted to give April. He brings it to her work, and finds out that she's now single again. Instead of showing him gratitude for finding her book, she's so upset that he didn't give it to her sooner since he had it for so long.

The next time that Maya is over at her dad's place, she notices that her dad is clearly still in love with April. She tells him that he changed the names of Emily (who is really Sarah), and Summer (who is Nathasha), he didn't change Aprils. They decide to win April's heart back, and swing by her apartment. They call her from the door downstairs, he says he wants to speak with her but she refuses to come down. She overhears Maya telling her dad that he needs to repeat the story to April, just as he said it to her. April waits, but when Maya and Will turn to walk away, she comes running down the stairs and out the door.

Will tells April that the only reason that he didn't give her the book was because it was the only thing that he had left of her. April forgives him, and they kiss. YAY, what a great ending.

Fav. Quotes:

Maya Hayes: What's a threesome?
Will Hayes: It's a game that adults play sometimes... When they're bored.

Maya Hayes: Dad, I can't believe you smoked... and drank... and was such a slut... But I still love you.

(April is pretending she's Emily so that Will can practice propose to her)
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.

Summer Hartley: You know what I've never done? I've never spent the whole day in bed with a really great guy.
Will Hayes: Me neither.
