A comedy about having the right feelings for the wrong girl.
In the romantic comedy "Only You," we meet Clifford Godfrey, portrayed by Andrew McCarthy, who finds himself at a crossroads following an unfortunate breakup with his fiancée. Rather than wallowing in heartbreak, Clifford decides to embark on a vacation, hoping to find solace and maybe even a spark of adventure in the picturesque Italian surroundings. His journey begins with a mix of optimism and trepidation as he navigates through the trials of singlehood in a foreign land.
Upon his arrival, Clifford encounters two very compelling women who each capture his interest in unique ways. On one hand, we have the captivating Amanda, played by Kelly Preston, who embodies the carefree spirit of a sober party girl. Amanda’s vivacious personality offers Clifford a glimpse of joy and excitement amidst his personal turmoil. On the other hand, his charming and pragmatic travel agent presents a different kind of allure, providing him with stability and a sense of groundedness. As Clifford juggles his feelings for both women, he begins to question his own desires and the path he truly wants to take.
"Only You" not only explores the complexities of love and friendship, but it also delves into the universal theme of self-discovery. As Clifford grapples with his budding relationships and the remnants of his previous commitment, he learns important lessons about vulnerability, connection, and the unpredictability of life. Set against the stunning backdrop of Italy, the film artfully weaves humor and poignancy, creating an engaging narrative that resonates with anyone who has ever faced the uncertainties of love.
