My One and Only (2009)

Lack of good storyline.

An unexpected masterpiece

Absolutely the worst movie.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Usually, the people on the road are wanderers, hippies, addicts etc., but no ladies with no coping experience - to crown with 2 juvenile children. But so is the plot, based loosely on a true story - and it seems credible. Of course, the events happening are not so wild and crazy as among the first mentioned types, but it is still catchy to follow - first and foremost thanks to 2 great performances: Renée Zellweger as Ann Deveraux (Zellweger has proved herself to be a versatile and talented actress) and Logan Lerman as George Deverau (so far, his 2nd best performance after Charlie Kelmeckis from The Perks of Being a Wallflower). Of course, most of supporting actors are not bad either, Kevin Bacon could have spent more time on screen though. This warmhearted, realistic movie, with both ups and downs, successes and disappointments, should definitely get more attention and praise. If not in cinemas, then on TV - a pleasant time is guaranteed, including for families with teen children.

This movie was inspired by the real-life story of George Hamilton. After his mother got tired of his dad's affairs, she took him and his brother on a 50s road trip adventure in search for a new husband, on a real 1953 blue Cadillac Eldorado convertible.This movie used authentic props like cars, clothing, music, vocabulary, accent, color shades and hues, buildings, and everything straight from the 50s. It even has multiple references to 50s lifestyle like the nostalgic metal foil TV dinner, famous 50s actors and even the show "I Love Lucy".The movie is funny, sad, quirky, witty, stylish, charming, sweet, smooth, intelligent. This slow-paced screen memoir is not the kind you enjoy with popcorn and soda, but with a glass of wine and sushi.Also, I made a fan music video of the movie, tell me what you think— http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX0q4eOYVx4

This film is about a woman who leaves her unfaithful husband and goes around the country to find another husband."My One and Only" may be a plain story but it is surprisingly engaging. The story is told very well, that it draws me and makes me feel a part of the family. The misfortunes that are bestowed upon Anne Deveraux is sad but mysteriously have a light hearted tone to it. Her determination to search for a new life is inspiring, I admire her courage and her drive to break out of her comfort zone. The two sons are acted well; George successfully radiates a confident and mature feel while Robbie shines as an effeminate individual that makes me smile in several scenes. I enjoyed watching "My One and Only", as it provides an engaging and touching reflection of family and romantic relationships.

Wjile maybe not the best film of the year it certainly is better than most of the trash that's been released thus far. No car chases, explosions, killings, drugs or sex nor foul language. No wonder it was a flop at the box office. Tis a pity as this is an exceptionally dramady. Good performances from the entire cast, down to the tiniest bits. Rene Zellweger was at the top of her game here. The boys playing her sons were sensational with the character of Robbie having the best one-liners and delivering them with zest. Very authentic look of the film which makes it even better. An extra scene here and there would have helped with what was going on part of the time. A couple of scenes seem to jump as if there was something missing. The only unreal thing is the taxi driving up to the sound stage at the end. That couldn't happen in real life. It's a shame this didn't have a broader release as no one saw it. Hope the DVD release is seen by many.
