Only You (1994)
6/10
A silly yet enjoyable film to watch on a lazy afternoon

Warning: Spoilers
Only You is a romantic comedy and tells the story of a young woman named Faith (Marisa Tomei)who plays a board game as a kid and it spells out the name of her potential partner Damon Bradley. 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 from Iron Man and he makes out that his name is Damon Bradley(even though his name is Peter Wright). 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.
