Only You (1994)

Silly but fun

I watched it three times the first week, and am ready to watch it a fourth time. Relaxing escape fare. December 24, 2008

The best possibilites went unrealized

This film has a lot of things going for it. Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. look great and have decent chemisty. The scenes in Italy are really great, especially near the end and the acting isn't too bad. However, it seems like the premise has so many possibilities that go unrealized. In the end, the movie sort of quickly wraps things up in a way that should have been building all along. It sort of detracts from the storyline that the Peter character continuously engages in lies and deception, even when there seems to be a little magic building. In the end you think that he's the perfect guy except that he's so sleezy. It would have been nice to see the movie build on some of the things the main characters have in common rather than constantly regressing back to the deception mode. This is a cute, watchable romantic comedy, but it could have been an all-time great one with a few adjustments to the storyline. November 30, 2008

romantically delightful

I loved it immediately. If you've been to Venice, Rome and Amalfi; for the scenery alone this is the movie for you. And the story and the romance and the acting- what else could you want all in one movie. You'll relive Italy in your home again and again. When i need my Italian fix this is the flick for you.

Romance at its best...

The film, "Only you" is delightful. Marisa Tomei plays Faith, a highly romantic girl that believes in destiny. As a young girl she played games that told her the name of the person she would fall in love with and marry, later confirmed by a fortune teller, and she sets out to make it come true.

The filming takes place in the USA and Italy, and if you have ever visited Venice and Rome, you will love to revisit these spectacular places. As her wonderful sister-in-law, Bonnie Hunt delivers a rather wonderful performance as the married woman who because she believes her husband is having an affair, travels to Europe to redefine her purpose.

Robert Downey Jr. is magnificently romantic. If you are not careful, after watching this movie you may simply purchase a ticket and go to Italy in search for romance. Don't miss it!
