Only You (1994)


A young woman believes that two soul-mates can be united if they find each other and skips her marriage and travels to Italy  to find hers.

Fairly agreeable romantic comedy, which makes one nostalgic for the good old ones.

Halliwell*: "Sugary, glossy, nostalgic romantic comedy that deliberately harks back to the 50s Roman Holiday, ..., and which seems even more old-fashioned."

Maltin***: "Likable confection...Tomei's earnest and appealing performance makes the far-fetched story work. Director Jewison provides a dreamy travelogue of Italy (photographed by Sven Nykvist, no less) as her backdrop. Like so many contemporary romantic comedies, this one invokes an earlier one (ROMAN HOLIDAY) to justify its existence."
