Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

SnoopyStyle Faith Corvatch (Marisa Tomei) is a romantic. She was convinced at the age of 11 by a Ouija game with her brother Larry and a fortune teller that her soul mate would be Damon Bradley. She's getting married to boring podiatrist Dwayne (John Benjamin Hickey). Kate (Bonnie Hunt)'s marriage to Larry (Fisher Stevens) isn't romantic anymore. She thinks he's cheating on her. Faith gets a call from Dwayne's classmate Damon Bradley for best wishes and he's leaving for Venice. She misses the plane and with Kate, they pursue him to Italy. They meet Giovanni (Joaquim de Almeida) who flirts with Kate. Faith falls for a shoe guy who claims to be Damon Bradley but then later reveals his real name to be Peter Wright (Robert Downey Jr.).It's a fun setup. Marisa Tomei is endearing and Bonnie Hunt is hilarious. They have great gal pal chemistry. It's a great road trip idea. Italy is visually scrumptious. The first half works very well. The second half has problems. It struggles with trying to finesse the Damon Bradley situation. The chemistry with RDJ is problematic with such a big lie. The movie just loses the rooting interest. He's a lying schemer. He keeps lying to her including the fake Damon Bradley. I'm not sold on this relationship.

jn1010 This film is not as sexy as many, nor plot heavy as others BUT, a word in which myriad events can turn around (Jonah 1:2-4)!!... BUT, if you want a movie that has characters with passion, characters with gusto, a dreamy plot, a classic story of Boy gets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl... this is the Rom COM of ALL ROM COMs. Why?? So many have said it in other scenarios, but for 21 years I have watched it with my wife & it reminds us of first impressions & how they bring so many people together & so many others who never continue to find out about others. (Yes, it was love at first sight when I saw her but a month or so before I even knew her name. I actually fell for her cause if I have not twisted my ankle in track, I would never had met HER.)AND THEN....there is Italy. Like so many other cinema aficionados have elucidated, the beauty of Italy, the might of Rome, the terraces of the East coast on the way south to Positano, the bright Tuscan sun...well , after awhile we finally went to Italy & it was truly 'Only You' & more. A beautiful country, etc. FINALLY, the plot. OK, the plot does not seem to be the deepest of social expectations, more like a mystery trying to find Damon Bradley. BUT, in the end, the plot speaks volumes about human foibles. We think we want this, we want that, we plan this & that & yet, what we really needed was there in front of our eyes the whole time, it just was not what WE wanted. We had FAITH but in the wrong person, place or thing.... BUT, no matter what......it's a movie to enjoy with someone you enjoy! Ciao, Baby

slightlymad22 Teaming up for the second time (after Chaplin) Robert Downey Jr teams up with Marisa Tomei, although this time it's Tomei who is the star, with Downey Jr taking second billing in this charming movie about destinyPlot In A Paragraph: Apropriatley named Faith (Marisa Tomei) believes that two soul- mates can be united if they find each other. From the Ouija board, she has found the name of her missing half, and it is Damon Bradley. Later, at a carnival, the fortune teller sees the name Damon Bradley in the Crystal Ball and Faith is convinced.14 years later, she is engaged to a podiatrist and plans to marry him until she gets a call from one of his classmates who is on his way to Venice, Italy. The classmate is called Damon Bradley. So Faith and her sister-in-law Kate both board the next plane for Italy hoping to find her destiny.Both stars were nominated for Oscars at the previous years awards show. A pre his first run of drug problems Downey Jr was nominated for Best Actor for Chaplin (losing out to Al Pacino for "Scent Of A Woman" coincidently the one year I don't believe Pacino should have won. He lost out with better performances, in better movies than that year. Alongside Downey Jr, Clint Eastwood in "Unforgiven" Stephen Rea in "Crying Game" and Denzel Washington "Malcolm X" made it the hardest to call Best Actor category in years) whilst Tomei won Best Supporting Actress for "My Cousin Vinny". It is Tomei who carries most of the movie, I don't think Downey Jr is in the first thirty minutes, but when he does he is as charming as you'd expect. The leads have a nice chemistry and the supporting cast is all good too, stand outs including Billy Zane and Bonny Hunt, but Siobhan Fallon isn't given much to do which is a shame. The movie looks gorgeous with some beautiful settings and even if a tad predictable it's a nice enjoyable movie.

C S This movie is so cute and so endearing, that I find it possible to watch frequently and still love it. Robert Downey Jr. is damn sexy to boot! The main character has it set in her mind from various childhood experiences with the supernatural that she is destined to be with one particular man, a Damon Bradley. But as she matures she "settles" for a foot doctor and they become engaged. Then one day, when a friend of her fiancé's calls, she gets his number and his name, Damon Bradley. Then the search takes them to Italy to find her soulmate! She is a wacky individual who thinks she knows what is best and doesn't want any regrets, so I find her believable. Her silly best friend is Bonnie Hunt and she is hilarious. This is reminiscent of romantic movies of old, and has enough twists to keep you interested through the movie, as well as their romantic tension. I love this movie, and have loved it for years. Great for teens, which is when I found this movie, but I still love it.
