'As a teen, Faith was told that her destiny is a man named Damon Bradley. Years later, when she's about to marry someone else, a Damon Bradley calls to wish them well, and Faith blows off her wedding to follow Damon to Italy.'
So, is 1994's Only You a New Year's movie, I'll let you decide. I'd never seen the 90's comedy before, but after seeing that TCM has scheduled for airing on New Year's Eve, I decided to check it out. When I read the description, In one review, it described the film as a romantic scavenger hunt, that culminates in their finally meeting and connect. The New Year's Eve part, being the grand finale where they realize they are meant to be.
I'm not sure there was really a New Year's Eve party, not one with glitter and balloons that we usually see. I watched, and really enjoyed the rom-com, but don't remember hearing anything about a New Year's bash. Still, it was fun to watch a 90's comedy that I some how over looked.
Robert Downey Jr. and Marisa Tomei were both gorgeous, and there were several other hotties met along the way. In addition to Downey Jr and Joaquim de Almeida, we also meet a hot Billy Zane, (below) one of several 'Damon Bradley's' Tomei's character meets along the way. Bonnie Hunt is always a scene stealer. I also loved the few scenes with Siobhan Fallon and wish director Norman Jewison had brought her character to Italy.
Then, there was the beautiful face of actor John Benjamin Hickey who played Dwayne, Tomei's finance in the film. Sadly we didn't see much of Dwayne as Hickey sort of played the same role that Bill Pulman did in Sleepless in Seattle. Not 'the one' and destined to be left at the alter. Still, it had me thinking about Hickey, and looking back on the many nude scenes over his career. Check out my Actors & Skin post, featuring his great frontal in Love! Valour! Compassion! (HERE:) and the other nude scene on his skin resume. (HERE:)
