100A completely appealing, beautifully preserved memory piece - a grand, colorful coming-of-age story with a candy box color palette and a standout performance by Renée Zellweger. It's a great story and a great crowd-pleaser.
-
88This is essentially Renee Zellweger's picture, and she glows in it.
-
80Peter's lightning-fast script and Loncraine's steady direction steer this road picture to the sunny side of the street.
-
75It's affable entertainment -- a road movie with a smart map and characters who are unpredictable human beings, not just billboard attractions.
-
70Sweet, modest and quietly classy, it's the perfect late-summer entertainment -- and it also happens to feature the most relaxed and nuanced performance Renée Zellweger has given in years.
-
70A good-natured screwball road film.
-
70The ensemble collectively displays crisp comic timing throughout.
-
Chief among the movie's charms are Ms. Zellweger, Mr. Rendall--whose would-be actor Robbie is a dab hand at embroidery and accessorizing his stepmother--and Mr. Lerman, who plays George as a bookish adolescent with dreams of becoming a writer.
-
67A weightless movie as cheerily artificial as the Old Navy pitchman's bronze skin tones.
-
63If you have any curiosity at all about how a fellow like George Hamilton became a fellow like George Hamilton, My One and Only answers the question by looking, fondly, at his primary caregiver.
-
63My One and Only isn't exactly memorable, but this little, personable movie is a fine showcase for Zellweger's talents and a paean to the sort of mid-1950s America best remembered in Norman Rockwell paintings.
-
63My One and Only has an old-fashioned sensibility -- and some lovely Mad Men-style costumes -- making for a pleasantly diverting road movie.
-
63If there's a prevailing problem with director Richard Loncraine's bit of period fluff, it's that many of the characters encountered along the way are a touch too cartoonish to resonate meaningfully with audiences.
-
60The movie is filled with fun '50s Americana.
-
The 1950s suit Zellweger, as does the film.
-
58Dying to hear George Hamilton's origin story? No? Well, too bad, because the mediocre, nostalgic-soaked comedy-drama My One And Only, loosely inspired by Hamilton's childhood, has been produced with a few big stars attached.
-
50It is diverting but insubstantial.
-
50The movie has a jolly, half-remembered quality, as though it were adapted from a particularly rose-colored memoir.
-
50Despite the title, My One and Only is irritatingly repetitive.
-
50Perfectly passable film.
-
50Occasionally diverting but ultimately forgettable, My One and Only will become unforgivable if it inspires other former competitors from "Dancing With the Stars" to go in search of lost time.
-
40If any star's life should lend itself to a grade-A guilty-pleasure biopic, its Hamilton's, but My One and Only dodges the dirty details.
