Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Fulke Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Argemaluco The poster and the presence of Reneé Zellweger in the leading role might suggest My One and Only is a romantic comedy, and even though it has some characteristics from that genre, the truth is that it is in fact something different...but not necessarily good.To start with, I was surprised when I found out that the film is a semi-biography of actor George Hamilton...or better said, of his mother Anne, whose search of love made her to undertake a trip around the United States in the early 50's.However, despite the competent performances, I did not like this movie, mainly because I did not find that story to be interesting.The story from My One and Only is so light that I never cared about the characters and their search of love and economical support.The obsessive fans of Hamilton's might find this story about his teenage life, which explains the big attachment he had with his mother, interesting.But as a casual spectator, I did not find this movie satisfactory as a family drama nor as a "road movie".Nevertheless, I have to admit I liked the performances from Zellweger in a character which reminded me of the one she interpreted in Appaloosa; from Logan Lerman, who is much better in here than he was in the atrocious Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief; from Mark Rendall as the step brother of Lerman's character; and from the underrated character actors Chris Noth and David Koechner.However, even though the performances are good, they are not enough for rescuing My One and Only from its emotional apathy and narrative inertia.In conclusion, I cannot recommend My One and Only, because despite its good intentions and solid performances, it frankly bored me pretty much.I think that this movie needed more influence from Hollywood and less from the real life.I am not against the realism, but there are occasions in which it is necessary to sacrifice it in order to make an entertaining film experience.

Jay Harris Another road trip film, but this is somewhat different,it is based on the events of one summer, when Renee Zellweger & her 2 teenager sons make a cross-country trip. They wind up in Los Angeles, where younger son subs for his brother in a movie scene & GUESS WHAT. He turns out to be George Hamilton. For those unfamiliar, he is a handsome good-looking actor who has been in film & TV since the Mid- 1950's, He is also known for his use of sunglasses.Thr film is really a tribute to his mother superbly created by Renee Zellweger. Kevin Bacon is also excellent as his father. Logan Lehrman is the teen age lad that eventually become the actor George Hamilton , He is relatively new to the screen, He is good enough to have a long career in front of him.The remaining cast are all top performers headed by Eric McCormack,Mark Rendell, Chris Noth,Nick Stahl.Steve Weber, Troy Garity plus others from film & TV. The film is dedicated to Merv Griffin who worked on this film for a few years prior to his death.The period is the 1950's & seems very detailed & accurate,plus a very good song score.The rating is PG-13, its really not a film that small children would appreciate. All others especially for those that remember the time frame it is a must. This is a fun film,it may or may not be all true, I had a good time watching it, & thats all that counts.Ratings: ***1/2 (out of 4) 91 points (out of 100) IMDb 9 (out of 10)

Gordon-11 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.

almontin Altogether an enjoyable film, despite a few lengthy bits when the familiar pattern (middle aged blonde with two sons realizes the man she has set to marry is a jerk) seems to repeat itself once too many. I really liked the truthfulness of the depiction of America's 1950s, all the way to Zellweger's mannerisms typical of the times, the dirt roads, the breeches, the hotel detective. Support actors were good as well, though Bacon does'nt get much screen presence. A lot of humorous lines make the conversation interesting to follow, and the heroine's string of unlucky encounters also play to good laughs.But quite a few items irked me, from the overly black and white depiction of lecherous men, to the pale acting of the two sons, to the frightening number of times Zellweger was told she was 'beautiful' (we get it, middle aged men are horny, she's blonde, but puh-lease, her chemically/surgically enhanced frozen-featured face simply isn't attractive - then again, she does get the word 'old' bandied at her a few times so I guess the director thought a trade off was necessary).Overall, the film really lacked in-depth characterization and relied too much on its fickle road movie charm to wind its way to a somewhat trite and tepid ending.
