Sweetie and I were childless last night so we sneaked out to see girlfriend Renee Zellweger’s latest movie, “My One and Only.” It also has Kevin Bacon playing her no account philandering, band leader husband.
I didn’t know anything about the movie so I was expecting a romantic comedy. I like those, in moderation, especially good ones but this was different. I am not sure how to classify the movie. Its kind of like a cross between a road movie, romantic comedy, coming of age, and biography. Basically Zellweger plays the part of Anne Devreaux who dumps her husband, played by Kevin Bacon and sets off across America with her two teenage sons in search of a new husband.
She gets humiliated, arrested, and dumped a bunch of times but always keeps her chin up.
I loved it. Its a great movie. Of course, my girlfriend Renee could play the lead role in Lassie Come Home and I would love it. I give this a big four stars out of four.
It is a great date movie.
As I always recommend check out the web site. Lots of great stuff there.
I love Renee Z too-she is so cute and just a breath of fresh air on screen…of course i wont see this till it comes out on DVD but i had added it to my list of must sees
Love her too, thanks for this. Have you seen ‘New in Town’ also a classic and so funny!
Good review! I like Rene, too. We rarely see movies before they get to video, but I’ll put it on my list.
Really? I hadn’t even heard of it. Guess I need to get a sitter and get out!
Does this mean you will watch Bridget Jones’ Diary with me? Randy refuses. He only watches movies with his beloved Reese.
