A woman throws caution to the wind in the pursuit of the man of her dreams -- whom she's never met -- in this romantic comedy. Eleven-year-old Faith (Tammy Minoff) and her cousin Kate (Jessica Hertel)... read more read more... are playing with a Ouiji Board when Faith asks who she will marry -- the magic oracle answers "DAMON BRADLEY," and Faith is convinced that she will one day meet this ideal love. Fifteen years later, Faith (Marisa Tomei) has yet to meet her perfect man and has settled for Dwayne (John Benjamin Hickey), a sweet but boring foot doctor whom she's engaged to marry, with Kate (Bonnie Hunt) helping her plan the festivities. The day before the ceremony, Faith gets a call from one of the groom's friends, who won't be able to attend because he's travelling to Italy instead -- and his name is Damon Bradley. Convinced that fate is trying to tell her something, Faith hops on the next flight to Venice, where she searches for the elusive Damon, and along the way meets the charming Peter Wright (Robert Downey, Jr.). This was Tomei and Downey's second romantic pairing, following their roles in the biopic Chaplin. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    A love story written in the stars

    Very good movie! Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. did an amazing job. The story was very easy to follow even though it has a very unrealistic theme. A very nice romantic comedy with a destiny ending.

    Destiny. Faith (Marisa Tomei) believes th... read moreat two soul-mates can be united if they find each other. From the Ouija board, she has found the name of her missing half, and it is D-A-M-O-N B-R-A-D-L-E-Y. Later, at the carnival, the fortune teller sees the name Damon Bradley in the Crystal Ball and Faith is convinced. She is told that "You make your own destiny,...don't wait for it to come to you", but she is looking for Damon. 14 years later, she is engaged to a dull podiatrist and plans to marry until she gets a call from one of his classmates who is on his way to Venice, Italy. The classmate is Damon Bradley. Rushing to the airport to see her soul-mate, she misses him and the plane, but decides, then and there, to go after him. So Faith and her sister-in-law Kate both board the next plane for Italy hoping to find her Damon.

    Robert Downey Jr shows his passionate side in this romantic comedy about a young woman, Faith Corvatch (Marisa Tomei), who believes that the love of her life is a man she's never met and she travels to Italy in pursuit of this man she thinks is her destiny.

    A super-charged romantic comedy with a ton of heart and great characters. Both Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. are flawless at what they do here, they play people that you can't wait to spend two hours with. Their charm is pouring out and it makes this love story of mistaken i... read moredentity even more engaging. I really don't think this follows the average structure of the rom-com, so therefore it is all the more impressive. It doesn't hurt that the story takes place in Italy, a perfect backdrop for the puzzle that this story contains.

    Saw this on TV last night and I've got to admit... what an enjoyable chick flick. Sure it was hokey, cliched and far-fetched, but it was entertaining and featured some fine actors.

    Only You is a cute movie. It works well when all you want is a feel-good movie. The scenes of Italy are fine too, although I preferred Under the Tuscan Sun for Italian scenery.

Jewison's romantic comedy is a well-made fluff, a handsome trifle that's easily watched and just as easily forgettable; a pale effort compared to Jewison's Moon Struck, and Marisa Tomei is really not ... Full Review

One of those movies that evaporates from memory the moment you leave the theater.

Too schmaltzy by half, and Downey and Tomei just never click.
