Summary: Some enchanted evening....
Review: That is what it is when you watch this movie. Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey, Jr. has such chemistry it's hard to believe they're not a couple in real life. Tomei plays Faith, an engaged woman chasing her destiny all the way to Italy. Unbeknownst to her, Downey IS her destiny. This movie really makes you believe in true love, destiny, and that one special someone. See it with someone you love.

And I personally love all of Downey's works--but I'm biased. To me, there is no better talent in this movie. And he is so good looking! I fell in love with him too!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Can you ever give Robert Downey Jr. less than 4 stars?
Review: This movie lost a star because, in truth, I found Marisa Tomei's character to be a bit over the top. She believes in fate, and that a ouji game when she was eleven proffered the name of her future husband. And so many years later, she ends up all the way in Rome to find the man with this name -- the man of her dreams. (By this time she's engaged, but the guy is schmuck, so it's really not important).

This is a hokey premise, even for me, and I always love the hokey romantic comedies. After the first 20 minutes, I almost gave up. But then the lovely Robert Downey Jr. graced the screen and reminded me why I watch reruns of Ally McBeal on F/X. He's sweet, he's charming, he's fantastically charismatic. He spends this movie doing his best to charm Marisa Tomei into falling in love with him, resorting to some not-so-honest tricks. Normally this would be a little too stalkerish, but somehow, Robert just makes it work.

So if you like romantic comedies and their highly predictable endings, and especially if you dig Robert, you'll like this movie. (Oh and it also has Bonnie Hunt -- from Jerry McGuire and Return to Me -- another good reason to check it out).

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Great movie!
Review: This is one of the best romantic comedies I have seen, perfect for a first date.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: disappointing and corny
Review: I was truly disappointed by this movie. I rented it because I mistakenly thought that this was the movie that Marisa Tomei won an Oscar for as Best Actress. After watching it all the way through, I suddenly realized that it was My Cousin Vinny that she won for. Now, I'm as romantic as the next person, but this movie was so sappy that it was unrealistic and stupid. Marisa Tomei's performance in this movie and her performance in My Cousin Vinny are like black and white. In Only You, she takes off on a whim to chase after some guy named Damon Bradley, only 10 days before her wedding. Romantic? Sure! But the way she plays it out is ridiculous. Call me a cynic, but she makes herself way too vulnerable to the men she encounters in Italy. I'm glad I saw My Cousin Vinny first because, after her performance in Only You, it would take a lot for me to see her in any other movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I will stop what I'm doing to watch this movie...
Review: I saw this in the theater years ago, and thus began my adoration. (Yikes, has it been 7 years already?!)

In the realm of romantic-comedies, "Only You" goes above and beyond the "formula". Yes, you get the whirlwind romance, great funny dialogue, and enough surprises to make it hard to guess the ending. BUT! You also get so much more:

- dreamy Italian settings. Forget Rick Stevens, I didn't know Venice & Positano could be look so magical and luxurious.

- a supporting cast that nearly steals the show. Bonnie Hunt and her skill for honest (thus, funny) delivery brings the credibility to the movie. Her style of speaking is so "real-life", you forget that the whole movie relies on a shaky premise of the faux psychic and a plastic ouija board.

- and a surprisingly underestimated chemistry between Tomei and Downey. Case in point: Peter helping Faith dress for her date, and he's walking around her room realizing it may be their last time together.

Lots of great comic moments and sheer romance. I'm sorry more people haven't seen it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: so romantic.....
Review: I LOVE this movie!!!! Robert downey jr. and Marisa Tomei look very sweet together. My friebns didn't like this movie at all, but if you fancy romantic movies, you'll like this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I was born to kiss you!!!
Review: I absolutely love this movie!! The unexpected twist makes it even better. The sincerity of Marisa's character, Faith, reminds us that destiny or not, we can find love. Downey's performance was a perfect match with Tomei, the chemisty between them was there. Watching this movie made me realize that anything is possible in Italy, or anywhere we want love to happen at. Makes me want to travel to Italy just to replay the scenes! Watch it and pretend this happened to you and you will realize how great this movie really is!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Only You - Chemistry Galore
Review: Ever wonder why some movies hit that special spot and other make you snooze. Well, a lot of that has to do with chemistry. Chemistry between actors and the originality of the plot all combine to make a movie either a hit or a dud. Only You, succeeds on that front do to the fact that Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. have that connection that most of us only dream of. And of course what better way to make full use of the chemistry, but set your story in the most romantic country on Earth, Italy. This very original and witty plot follows Faith, the young school teacher, as she flies half way around the world in search of her true love. Thrown in, are wonderful panoramas of the Italian Lanscape and little subplots to make the whole experience even more enchanting. Hopeless romantics will certainly watch this entertaining movie with awe and envy, as the star crossed lovers search for ways to please, tease & win over the heart of their true love. Watch this with someone you care for and plan your next trip to the most wonderful place in the world to fall in Love...
