If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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 :)

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

Teaming up for the second time (after Chaplin) Robert Downey Jr teams up with Marisa Tomei, although this time it's Tomei who is the star, with Downey Jr taking second billing in this charming movie about destinyPlot In A Paragraph: Apropriatley named Faith (Marisa Tomei) believes that 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 Damon Bradley. Later, at a carnival, the fortune teller sees the name Damon Bradley in the Crystal Ball and Faith is convinced.14 years later, she is engaged to a podiatrist and plans to marry him until she gets a call from one of his classmates who is on his way to Venice, Italy. The classmate is called Damon Bradley. So Faith and her sister-in-law Kate both board the next plane for Italy hoping to find her destiny.Both stars were nominated for Oscars at the previous years awards show. A pre his first run of drug problems Downey Jr was nominated for Best Actor for Chaplin (losing out to Al Pacino for "Scent Of A Woman" coincidently the one year I don't believe Pacino should have won. He lost out with better performances, in better movies than that year. Alongside Downey Jr, Clint Eastwood in "Unforgiven" Stephen Rea in "Crying Game" and Denzel Washington "Malcolm X" made it the hardest to call Best Actor category in years) whilst Tomei won Best Supporting Actress for "My Cousin Vinny". It is Tomei who carries most of the movie, I don't think Downey Jr is in the first thirty minutes, but when he does he is as charming as you'd expect. The leads have a nice chemistry and the supporting cast is all good too, stand outs including Billy Zane and Bonny Hunt, but Siobhan Fallon isn't given much to do which is a shame. The movie looks gorgeous with some beautiful settings and even if a tad predictable it's a nice enjoyable movie.

It would be easy to say that this is Marisa Tomei's film, but Robert Downey, Jr. -- particularly during this part of his career -- was a particularly charismatic actor. And, Downey doesn't even come into the film until it is 1/3 over! But, then, to an extent, he dominates the film.Tomei has had a relatively successful career since making this film, but not as successful as I would have predicted, because she is delightful here. And Downey has had a successful film career since his "recovery", but he has never been able to play the somewhat innocent love interest since his problems. And that's unfortunate, because as this film (and "Chances Are") proved...nobody was better at least in this generation of actors (Cary Grant mastered it decades before).The movie is clearly a woman's film, but I still liked it. The plot is clever, with a couple of nice twists, and the theme of destiny is always an interesting one.Bonnie Hunt is charming as the "best friend".If you like romantic films or light comedies, then this is for you. Highly recommended.
