Only the Lonely

Roles like this helped make big John Candy somewhat of a beloved figure in his time. He was good at playing big, lovable oafs that usually messed up but had a good heart. Many times, as in here, he might appear... Full review

Many movie fans compared this film to the classic Ernest Borgnine flick, "Marty". While dealing with similar themes, (fat, lonely man finds love), the film spurs big laughs with Rose Muldoon (Maureen O'Hara) manipulating her son Danny (John Candy)with endless mind... Full review

This has to be one of my all time favourite movies! I loved seeing the late, great John Candy in a romantic comedy lead role. Casting was superb with Ally Sheedy as his shy love interest, and Maureen O'Hara as his... Full review

I AM A HUGE MAUREEN O'HARA FAN. There--I've said it, and now you'll know why this review will be biased. It was a few years back, late '90s, and I had just seen "McLintock!" over at my grandparents house. My grandfather... Full review

This film will always put a smile on my face as being a HUGE Maureen O'Hara fan, and having just seen the Quiet Man in 1991 for about the 3rd time that week, I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be great... Full review

This is a very humorous and touching movie. I would have to say this is probably one of John Candy's best movie ever. I can relate to John Candy's character a little bit. I love this movie, and would recommend this... Full review

Melody Gardot is singer with a great sound-intimate rather than overblown, tinged with smoke rather than hype, a retro-ish kind of now. My One and Only Thrill is a quiet, blue-tinged collection of ten original songs and one choice cover. ... Full Article
