A major problem with romantic
comedy - dramas (or
dramedies) is that the genre is so immediately familiar that the mechanics of the story allow accurate prediction of the final outcomes, an issue that is even more important
than usual in Definitely, Maybe.
And, more
than comedy, heavy topics such as finding yourself, cutting your own path, accepting mistakes, and acknowledging failures weigh in to make for a
dramedy with more heart
than most.
