Only You

Sweet Helen Hunt is better for bland Andrew McCarthy than sexy-but-bitchy and thoughtless Kelly Preston, but it takes him the entire movie to figure that out. This painfully predictable comedy tries to delay the inevitable by coming up with a series of forced scenes and situations, and it's also visually dreary, despite the potentially majestic locations. I think Hunt is the best thing in the picture. (*1/2)

A fine romantic comedy, well delivered by the gorgeous Kelly Preston, funny Andrew McCarthy and much-too-serious Helen Hunt. Unfortunately Helen Hunt is usually cast in a studious-serious type role, (As Good As It Gets) and her wide range of acting abilities are not shown. Still, a fine movie.

I like Andrew McCarthy, and he was excellent in this film. There's a lot of good laughs in the film although beneath the comedy is some very real-life tragic situations.

It's too bad that the selfish beautiful airhead (Kelly Preston)has to be blonde. Aren't they stereotyped enough already? Similarly, the predatory males are latin-blood.

Helen Hunt is excellent. The definitive scene where she falls in love is very well done, but with too much emphasis on the maternal.

Despite the ending being silly, I gave this a 7.

This is a great movie. Andrew McCarthy is a doll-house furniture designer who hasn't been having good luck with women lately. He finds an incredibly hot-looking woman in a bar and decides to fly her to paradise for Christmas. The next morning the woman, Kelly Preston, wakes up and doesn't remember anything due to being drunk. I don't want to spoil the movie but unexpected things happen and love blossoms in Only You. Andrew McCarthy is incredible, and Kelly Preston is superb. see it today.

This film is not what you would call a cinematic gem, but its not too bad either. Andrew McCarthy is a doll house maker who constantly falls in love with magazine cover girls, but is that what he is really looking for? The locations in this film are really beautiful, and McCarthy and Hunt do a good job of acting out their specified characters. Kelly Prestons gold digging bimbo is a really annoying character, but she was very suitable in the part. Its quite a pleasant 80 minute journey, and it delivers exactly what you would expect from the brief summaries given of the film. Unfortunately it is such a cliche in parts that you already know what will be said before its delivered. Also the characters were a bit dull, especially in the end scene, although that would be more the fault of the script writers than the actors. As romantic comedies go, its average at best.
