Watch it many times, you'll never tire of it
Incredibly Sweet and Engaging
I loved this movie.
And for all the stupid mistakes he's made, you have to admit that Robert Downey Jr. can turn in some pretty amazing performances. Marisa Tomei also shines in this incredible fairy tale about looking everywhere to find your one true love.
Light, sweet, and absolutely beautiful, "Only You" will show that at the most unexpected times (or with the most unexpected people) love can show up. You should be ready for it. Don't let the love of your life slip through your fingers in an Italian airport.
10/10
great setup for a romantic road trip
Faith Corvatch (Marisa Tomei) is a romantic. She was convinced at the age of 11 by a Ouija game with her brother Larry and a fortune teller that her soul mate would be Damon Bradley. She's getting married to boring podiatrist Dwayne (John Benjamin Hickey). Kate (Bonnie Hunt)'s marriage to Larry (Fisher Stevens) isn't romantic anymore. She thinks he's cheating on her. Faith gets a call from Dwayne's classmate Damon Bradley for best wishes and he's leaving for Venice. She misses the plane and with Kate, they pursue him to Italy. They meet Giovanni (Joaquim de Almeida) who flirts with Kate. Faith falls for a shoe guy who claims to be Damon Bradley but then later reveals his real name to be Peter Wright (Robert Downey Jr.).
It's a fun setup. Marisa Tomei is endearing and Bonnie Hunt is hilarious. They have great gal pal chemistry. It's a great road trip idea. Italy is visually scrumptious. The first half works very well. The second half has problems. It struggles with trying to finesse the Damon Bradley situation. The chemistry with RDJ is problematic with such a big lie. The movie just loses the rooting interest. He's a lying schemer. He keeps lying to her including the fake Damon Bradley. I'm not sold on this relationship.
