Review of Only the Lonely (1991) by Hal Lipper for Tampa Bay Times — 19 Jul 2006
As it is, fans of Candy are expecting a John Candy movie -- that is, a reasonably hilarious comedy about a sweetly sympathetic bumbler. And while he is as cumbersomely lovable as a Saint Bernard puppy, he's rarely allowed to be funny here.
He seems miserably uncomfortable as a romantic lead, or maybe it's just that he's playing opposite the Stepford Actress.
