daciana dax So look, from whatever angle you take, this is crazy... taking a chance is good, jumping in is nice, but this is pure and simply stalker-ish. If a guy or girl came after any of us, in the same context, it would make us really really scared, right? Think about it! Wouldn't you have the tendency to run away, call for help, call the police? I don't know about you, but I prefer my love stories a bit more real :)The only reason I gave this movie 5 stars is for its setting in Italy, as I've seen this country and it is truly wonderful and can be a magical place.I was looking for movies about traveling, bu this is not so amazing to watch because of an unbelievably corny and not very well played scenario. I've seen both actors in other movies. It has no good lines for a real comedy and the plot is pushed way over the limits.If you want traveling movies with a better plot and some romance I give you the following names: Under the Tuscan Sun, PS I love you, A Good Year and maybe, maybe Eat, Pray, Love. Not saying these are masterpieces, but they are way better :)
ramsri007 Only You is all fluff, romance, hope, destiny and about a happy ending. This is Downey & Tomei's second outing together in a movie. Although this movie is all Tomei, it starts picking up steam only after Downey enters. He gains entry only after 45 mins into the movie. But once in, he hogs the limelight. For all the imprudent personal choices he's made, you have to admit that Robert Downey Jr. is one hell of an actor & this is something that nobody can take away from him. I only wish the director had brought him on a little earlier in this movie. He makes his character impossible to not fall in love with. This story is very hypothetical. Faith believes in the concept of a soul- mate. Eager to know the name of her soul mate, she & her brother find that the name of her soul mate is Damon Bradley. Later, at a carnival, the fortune teller too confirms this. 14 years on, Faith is engaged to be married to a podiatrist. While busy with the preparations, she gets a call from one of his classmates who is on his way to Venice, Italy. The classmate is called Damon Bradley. This strikes a cord with Faith and she leaves that instant to the airport to find out the face behind the name. Faith and her sister-in-law Kate both board the next plane for Italy hoping to find her destiny.The visuals in the movie look stunning & en-captivating with beautiful settings. This movie is quiet predictable but, enjoyable never the less. This one is a perfect date movie. Leave your logical senses behind & just flow with the story.
lisafordeay Only You is a romantic comedy and tells the story of a young woman named Faith who plays a board game as a kid and it spells out the name of her potential partner. Fast forward a few years later and Faith(Marisa Tomei) is about to get married when she finds out that her potential partner is in Italy. So she packs her stuff and goes to Italy where she bumps into a very young looking Robert Downey Jr and he makes out that his name is Damon Bradley(even though his name is Peter). So Faith falls for Downey Jr's charms but when he tells her out straight that his name is Peter,she gets furious and another person comes forward and makes out they are Damon Bradley(Billy Zane from Titanic).But could Peter be Faith's soulmate and was there ever a man named Damon Bradley?Bottom line this is a very contrived movie. Its so predicable,and so mushy you just want to say to yourself why am I watching this corny contrived film for. But hey I thought parts of it were cute and I think Robert & Maria had great chemistry together yet the whole premise was a bit stupid. I mean this woman goes on a wild goosechase over some man that she was given the name of as a kid,she's already married but hey she would rather ditch her fiancé for someone else.It was an alright movie but still though I wouldn't mind watching it on a lazy afternoon.4.3/10
kyle-cruse I am a fan of the romantic comedy genre, not because every one of them is great (because probably a majority are not) but because when I find one that I like, I am more satisfied that I would be with almost any other genre. "Only You" is a great romantic comedy. I recognize that there are a ton of things about the plot and some of the characters that I could nit-pick, but so few of these films are well done and have enough emotion to leave me satisfied and happy that I see no point in complaining. The film basically involves Marisa Tomei being led to believe from her teenage years than her destined lover is a man named Damon Bradley, and when she is engaged to another man, she receives a call from her fiancé's high school alum with the same name. Convinced he's the man, she flies to Italy to meet him and instead meets Robert Downey Jr, who has immediately fallen in love with Tomei and claims himself to be Bradley. Naturally, not a perfect film, and plenty of minor flaws, but I must say that this one was less predictable than the average film of it's type. It's mildly funny, and most importantly, it has, in my opinion, a perfect ending, the most important element of a romantic comedy for me. Beautifully scenic, mostly being shot in Italy. I'm not claiming the film to be flawless, but see it without super high expectations and you'll be pleasantly surprised. This film reminds me of watching a movie simply for enjoying it rather than criticizing it.***1/2 out of ****
