What critics compared The Invisible Circus to
Because you just never know where the next amazing one is going to come from, and sometimes it’s even better when they come from a quarter that floors you, like from Adam Brooks, who adapted and directed the very intriguing and little-seen The Invisible Circus in 2001 but who has also written some less than satisfying romantic dramedies such as Wimbledon and Practical Magic .
Perhaps this is due to filmmaker Adam Brooks , who is not a bar-coded Hollywood drone, but an idiosyncratic filmmaker ("The Invisible Circus") who's been making some scratch in recent years writing such enjoyable mainstream fare as "Wimbledon" and the "Bridget Jones" sequel.
Writer/director Adam Brooks ("The Invisible Circus," "Wimbledon") looks to have a Valentine's hit on his hands with a vehicle obviously meant as a breakthrough for star Reynolds, but while "Definitely, Maybe" is definitely a cut above the usual February fodder, it maybe feels too second hand with roots in everything from "The Princess Bride's" bedtime story structure to television's "How I Met Your Mother's" teasing central concept.
