Manthast Absolutely amazing

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

tilda horwath I can and do watch it over and over again: no violence, brutality, dark images or ugliness; all smiles, fun and beautiful locations with beautiful people in beautiful outfits. Locations themselves are worth watching it for, not to mention the acting which is brilliant. Tomei and Dawney seem such a wonderfully matching couple, you can easily believe they are a couple in real life. Bonnie Hunt is so beautiful, so natural, so perfect for this role. Loved the whole movie from start to finish, there are no slack moments, you must watch it or loose the thread. What is more, the story line is believable - well almost, apart from bits here and there, such as you can not just change flights at moment's notice and it seems the action takes place over not just 48 hours but at least five days or more! Recommend it heartily - and wish there were more movies like this and much less the "other" kind that are full of dark scenes, killing, gore and brutality.

Jackson Booth-Millard From director Norman Jewison (In the Heat of the Night, The Thomas Crown Affair, Fiddler on the Roof, Moonstruck), I spotted this pretty much out of nowhere and noticed the two leading stars, so I just to give it a try. Basically when she was a child Faith Corvatch (Marisa Tomei) used a Ouija Board that spelled out, in individual letters, the name "Damon Bradley", and this is supposedly the name of her soul mate. Now grown up she goes to a carnival and has a fortune teller using her Crystal Ball sees this name as well as the man she will marry, and then, on the verge of getting married, she overhears a phone call from her future husband's friend, it is Damon Bradley calling from Venice, Italy. Faith is determined to track him down, so she and her sister in law Kate (Jumanji's Bonnie Hunt) travel from New York to the Italian countryside and streets of Rome in search of the man they only know by name. They are following his trail with any information people can give from his last known whereabouts, but they seem to keep missing him by small amounts of time, even once by seconds and inches. Then Faith meets a young American man (Robert Downey Jr.), but has no interest in him until he hears the name and identifies himself as Damon Bradley, and after a spending a night together they have both fallen hopelessly in love. It only falls apart when he confesses that he is not Damon Bradley, his real name is Peter Wright, and she angrily walks out wanting to go home, but Kate finding attraction for her from Giovanni (Joaquim De Almeida) the Italian businessman might make that difficult. Peter comes back to her though and says that he has been looking for a Damon Bradley, and found out he has apparently moved to Positano, so Giovanni drives Peter, Faith and Kate there to find her at a posh hotel. Then they find this "Damon Bradley" (Billy Zane), a playboy with long hair and many women lapping him up, and confident she should try and see how things go she invites him to go. Of course it turns out this "Damon" is actually Peter's friend Harry and the whole thing was staged, and meanwhile Kate's husband Larry (Fisher Stevens) has travelled to find them and make up with his wife, but they planned to come home now anyway. Larry reveals to Faith that when he did the Ouiji board as a child and spelled the name out, it was all a prank, and he paid the fortune teller too, he didn't tell her because he was worried she would never talk to him again. Getting to the airport Peter is there to see off Faith, and they both overhear a real Damon Bradley (Adam LeFevre) at the information desk, so they can truly meet him, he is a reasonably good looking man, Peter explains the whole situation to him and he is perplexed, and of course he mentions being in love with her. In the end this Damon asks Faith if she loves Peter, and that if she truly does then she should embrace it, and she manages to catch him on his plane to Boston in time, and they kiss, with all the other passengers applauding, and they fly off into the sunset. Also starring John Benjamin Hickey as Dwayne and Men in Black's Siobhan Fallon as Leslie. Tomei is obviously attractive and she is also charming as the woman searching for the supposed man she has a destiny with, and Downey Jr. is likable as the man she actually should be with, their scenes together are great, and the supporting cast, including sleazy Zane works well too, I can see what the critics mean by a Cinderella style story, it certainly has that quality, and it makes you laugh in the right places, a good fun romantic comedy. Very good!

C S This movie is so cute and so endearing, that I find it possible to watch frequently and still love it. Robert Downey Jr. is damn sexy to boot! The main character has it set in her mind from various childhood experiences with the supernatural that she is destined to be with one particular man, a Damon Bradley. But as she matures she "settles" for a foot doctor and they become engaged. Then one day, when a friend of her fiancé's calls, she gets his number and his name, Damon Bradley. Then the search takes them to Italy to find her soulmate! She is a wacky individual who thinks she knows what is best and doesn't want any regrets, so I find her believable. Her silly best friend is Bonnie Hunt and she is hilarious. This is reminiscent of romantic movies of old, and has enough twists to keep you interested through the movie, as well as their romantic tension. I love this movie, and have loved it for years. Great for teens, which is when I found this movie, but I still love it.

grrwuff ...yes, why can't I just take it for what it is? A flimcy-flumcy childish fairytale on hallucinogenics?? Why??? I'll tell You why; it's a complete waste of location(Rome, Italy), talent(Tomei, probably director too), genre(romance) and my time. Not at any time, the director pays any respect to.... -anything. The stressed pace of action, lack of development of character, Rome set as a stereotypic background prop for romance(I love Rome) etc. etc. etc. Stereotypic 19.th century sexual roles without any hint of either adult love affair or sexual attraction. Just a predictable mass Hollywood production. Why does Tomei even consider playing any part of this? (I couldn't watch till the end just utterly crap crap crap- sorry(not)). Watch some Jane Austen(1995 Pride & Prejustice) or just Casablanca, and You'll lose the bad taste of.... crap in your mouth(sorry again). 100% disappointed
