Review of Only You (1994) by Autumn G — 05 Oct 2007
Okay, okay, yes, I realize that this is a chick flick. I like chick flicks. But when they're haplessly put together with terrible dialogue, and one-dimensional characters, I hate these films like the freaking plague! Meet Faith, she's a woman who has never seemed to mature since she was 12.
She believes in destiny, and that a man named Damon Bradley will be her love forever. Sweet isn't it? But not when she's getting ready to be married, and all of a sudden decides to put off the wedding, so she can find the name of a guy she saw on a Ouija board! Is it just me, or is that extremely cold? She completely disregards her fiancee just so she can find a guy that is "supposed" to be her true love.
Gag me with a wooden spoon! From that point in the movie, I realized that I could not stand that girl. She was just so whiney and self-centered, I just wanted to slap her in the face. Then enter Robert Downey Jr.
who somehow falls in love with this girl. But since his name isn't Damon, she's not interested. Did I mention before how I hated the girl? So the rest of the movie is filled with Downey Jr. confessing his love to Faith the Bitch, and the movie ends happily at an airport.
This movie is just a catastrophe on every level. Marisa Tomei's character, Faith, is yeah... you know. There's no chemistry between the two characters. The plot is cheesy, the characters have no depth, and Jewison loves to play this romantic music in every line of dialogue (annoying)! And finally, the movie ends in a goddamn airport.
What a cliche ending for a horrible movie. The end!
