Editorial Review:
FAITH IS LOOKING FOR A SOULMATE WHOSE NAME SHE GOT FROM A OUIJA BOARD. INSTEAD SHE MEETS PETER, WHO IS INSTANTLY SMITTEN WITH HER. FROM THE ADRIATIC TO THE AMALFI COAST, HER PURSUIT BECOMES A ROMANTIC ADVENTURE IN THE MOST UNCHARTED TERRITORY OF ALL, TRUE LOVE.
Description of Only You:
While director Norman Jewison's Moonstruck is a romantic cornerstone, this 1994 film is often overlooked. It's a sweet valentine about a young woman, aptly named Faith (Marisa Tomei, never cuter), who chases an unknown man to Europe because the name "Damon Bradley" was once spelled on an Ouija board as her true love. With her sister-in-law (Bonnie Hunt, whose own marriage seems to be falling apart), she travels the streets of Rome looking for Damon Bradley.
And lo and behold, she literally runs into a man claiming to be Damon. Is this meant to be? Faith certainly thinks so. Robert Downey Jr. (also never cuter) plays Damon in a role that showcases his charms. He shows his quick wit in handing Faith's advances and his absolute devotion to her when the winds change. Despite the cuteness factor, this is a movie to fall in love with. Jewison and Sven Nykvist (Ingmar Bergman's cameraman) present a sun-kissed Italy so beautiful, you might be tempted to hop a plane immediately after viewing the movie. --Doug Thomas
Only You Reviews:
Only you 
2009-09-14 - This is a cute, sexy little movie. It's got to be a good one when you can watch it alone and love it and laugh out loud
Gorgeous Italy - Sweet movie 
2009-08-03 - Again I must wonder how the reviewers make use of the 1 to 5 scale in terms of Stars... Little sweet movies like this should never qualify for either 1 or 5 and in my mind this one did not either.
Personally I find Tomei highly underrated as an actress and she is brilliant and gorgeous in this movie and in general the actors carry the movie, as does the amazing landscapes and communities in Italy depicted herein. The story line is predictable yet sweet, feel good and yet forgettable... nothing wrong with that however if your expectations are not for a cinematic master piece (deserving of 4 or 5 stars) then why rate it 1 for disappointment?
So all in all a highly recommended movie scoring my top score for a sweet little feel good romantic comedy.
Best movie in the world!!!!
2009-06-14 - This is my most favorite movie ever!!!!! Love the Italian landscapes, gorgeous, love Marisa Tomeil and Robert Downey junior, love the story. I've always been such a believer in fate. This movie gives you another twist. But it's nice and funny. Great!
Robert Downey love story 
2009-05-07 - Marisa is hung up on something told to her during her childhood and can't let go of it even when the right guy is right in front of her.
Fun, Flirtatious & Romantic
