Abigail Breslin and Ryan Reynolds in Definitely, Maybe (Universal)
The idea behind a movie trailer is to make an upcoming release look attractive enough to convince you to shell out ten bucks to go see it. The recent trailer for the romantic comedy Fool’s Gold made it look so terrifyingly bad that I actually felt relief when I ended up missing the press screening for it. Definitely, Maybe (opening February 14 throughout San Diego), another romantic comedy jockeying for the Valentine's Day date crowd, also served up a rather unappealing trailer that seemed to promise only dopey formula romance. But for a change, this film actually proves smarter than advertised.
