The story itself is simple and a little flimsy: the male protagonist neglected his family for his career. At this time, his son's serious illness brought the male protagonist's body back to the child's side. After a quarrel with his wife and the company of the child, the male protagonist finally returned to his heart. family. Even if he was fired by the boss, he accepted all this indifferently. At the end, the male protagonist finally realized the meaning of work and life and truly achieved a balance between work and life.

The male protagonist's previous state at work made people feel embarrassed: all kinds of unscrupulous means, no bottom line, in order to achieve the work goal of promotion. And he still enjoys it, even educating newcomers who have just entered the workplace in this way.

The plot of the film is a bit simple, but it really hits the heart. Two moving plots are very impressive: the couple's discussion about the way of caring at the child's hospital bed and the 59-year-old job seeker when he learned that he had obtained a position. After telling my wife plainly, the scene of a man hiding in the toilet and crying loudly moved me.

A Defintely Maybe quotes

  • Lou Wheeler: All families got problems but you only got one.

  • [first lines]

    Dane Jensen: [narrating] I am a headhunter and I am the purest form of salesman alive. I sell the American dream. I make money out of thin air, smoke, whole cloth. I stand on the shoulders of giants, the hardest of hardened salesmen. Tin men, Bible salesmen, slum realtors. We're a wolf pack of commissioned phone jockeys working 70 hours a week without a net. You hit, you hit big. You blank, and the repo man's tailgating the minivan at the grocery store. This job is a desk, a phone, a chair, and your ass.
