Summary: Magic that comes once in a lifetime
Review: I guess that Only you is the kind of movie that really makes you wonder if there's someone out there who was born to be with you for a lifetime,.... and where he/she might be!!!
Sometimes love is around the corner, or sometimes you just have to travel the world to grab it and never let it go. This is a funny, romantic, silly and fantastic story, in the landscapes of beautiful Italy, that makes you laugh, cry, dream and follow your heart no matter how crazy it may seem.
Marisa Tomei is that new kind of Cindirella: she is every woman, every modern woman looking for love, in its pure shape, ...and Robert Dawney Junior is that kind of guy, not too big, not too smart, but kind and sweet enough to fight for her.
If you want to have a romantic dinner & movie night, this is your choice!!!! (this movie inspired me to cut my hair long time ago), and my biggest dream is to fly to Italy and walk on the streets of Rome, with that person born to love me.

Great movie for romantic people.

Summary: Love vs Fate
Review: For anyone who has grappled with the idea of destiny, this is the movie for you. Marisa Tormei plays Faith, a woman who is about to marry a pediatrist after resigning to the fact that he wasn't Damon Bradley, her ''destiny''. One day Damon calls and askes for her fiance, and Faith's world is blown to pieces. Taking her unhappily married best friend and sister and law with her to Italy, she seeks out Damon and encounters her true love instead. Robert Downey jr is her real match, but because his name isn't Damon, he doesn't qualify. This movie delves into the complicated world of a romantic who always believed in destiny over love, never stopping to realize that her true fate rested within a shoe salemen from Boston, not a man named Damon Bradley.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best romantic comedies
Review: This is one of the best romantic comedies! The age-old concept of star-crossed lovers is beautifully portrayed by the always charming and talented Robert Downey Jr. and the wonderful Marisa Tomei. It's a must see for all romantic comedy lovers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Charming and Fun
Review: This is my older sister's absolute favorite movie, and she has good reason to think so. The plot is rather predictable in many aspects, but at the same time there are a couple twists that make it even more charming and interesting. Definitely a chick flick, but one that can be enjoyed over and over again without tiring of it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Travel Brochure to Love
Review: Norman Jewison created this warm and airy ode to love, and gave it both the beauty and fragrance of a flower cart on the cobbled streets of Italy. The scenery will take your breath away and the story make you smile in this light romantic comedy.

The always sweet and engaging Marisa Tomei is Faith, on the the verge of marriage when a phone call from her fiance's friend will stop her dead in her tracks, simply because his name is Damon Bradley. A game played when she was a child and a Gypsy fortune teller at a carnival in her teens told her the man she would love and marry would be named, Damon Bradley.

Bonnie Hunt shines as Faith's sister-in-law and best friend, who takes off to Venice with her in search of her destiny, written in the stars. When they discover he has left the hotel he called from, the search will go from Venice to Rome, and the lovely Italian coast, as Norman Jewisn gives us a gorgeous view of romantic Italy.

Robert Downey Jr. is at his most charming as Damon Bradley, who Faith meets by chance, or perhaps fate, and falls in love with. Faith will discover, however, that destiny has a few twists and turns in store for her, in this truly delightful violin concerto to love.

This film will work its magic on you if you enjoy a light romantic comedy with a 1950's feel, and will surely become one of your favorites if you are seeing it for the first time. Don't let destiny, or this film, pass you by.

Summary: magical romance
Review: This movie inspired me to backpack through Italy. It isn't a "travel" movie, but certainly gives wonderful glimpses of a beautiful country.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Cute film
Review: This definitely isn't motion picture at its best. However, Marisa Tomei always turns in a lovable, humorous performance, as she does here. She's locked in a fun female bonding trip, one that makes her companion's husband realize he's been neglecting his wife, while at the same time allowing Ms. Tomei to romp around Italy engaging in adventures while she looks for her soulmate.

I did feel a bit betrayed as the film resolved the "soulmate" issue, which I won't give away here. All in all, it's worth seeing once, just for fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: So truly Italian
Review: I just watched this movie on an American station in Italy. I loved it becaue it was so Italian!! The sheep in the street, we see them all the time. And in this notoriously laid back culture "AMORE" is about the only thing that would get them to move faster. After living here, this movie was totally believable, if a little smaltzy!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Don't pass up this movie
Review: In most of the reviews I've read on this movie, people point out the highlights of Robert Downey, Jr. and Marisa Tomei, as they should. Both of the stars of this film are definitely worth watching (however cheesy they may get). What people also recognize is Bonnie Hunt in a fabulous best friend role that you will make you think of your best friend.

The other great parts of this film are some of the supporting actors. Fisher Stevens is hilarious as Kate's roofer husband who can't believe his wife is in "It-ly" as he pronounces the ever so romantic country. People also neglect mentioning Giovanni (Joaquim De Almeida), the man who tries to woo the married Kate (Bonnie Hudson). He does the perfect foreign playboy role. And, of course, you've got Billy Zane in the cast to mix things up.

The cast all complement each other and this is one of those movies that girls should really watch together to bond. Guys will think its ok since it does have some funny parts. Overall, this is a chick flick but its a very good chick flick.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Zany Romantic Comedy
Review: In this beautifully filmed story, Faith (Marisa Tomei) is getting ready to marry a successful podiatrist when Damon Bradley, the man of her dreams calls up to speak to her fiance. Damon's a man that she's never met; however, as a young girl in a game of Ouija board, she asked the name of the man that she would marry. The answer was Damon Bradley. Faith probably would have ignored that, but several years later, she's again given the same name by a Gypsy fortuneteller. She feels that she can't ignore the phone call and takes off for Italy to meet Damon Bradley who she thinks may be her soul mate.

Bonnie Hunt is charming in the part of Kate, Faith's sister-in-law. She flies to Rome with her because she thinks that Faith is nuts to do something so reckless and dangerous. Kate's own marriage is lacking in romance and she's thrown off balance when a dashing Italian gigolo pursues her.

The scenery is breathtaking and beautiful in Italy and Faith meets several attractive men in her search for Damon Bradley. Robert Downey Jr.is endearing in the roll of a shoe salesman, and Marisa Tomei has never been more attractive.

Very enjoyable and fun!
