Movie Reviews

San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Edward GuthmannThanks in large part to Mr. Candy, who gives an honestly touching performance in what might have been a cloying role, this story does have its simple charms.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 8/10 by Ken HankeSurprisingly pleasant, moving comedy from Chris Columbus.
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David NusairAs a romance, Only the Lonely undoubtedly succeeds.
BrianOrndorf.com - 8/10 by Brian OrndorfOrchestrates a peaceful stream of gags and one-liners while piecing together a puzzle of broken hearts...one of Columbus's best films, and easily ranks as Candy's most dimensional performance. He's a joy to watch here.
Antagony & Ecstasy - 6/10 by Tim BraytonA pretty easy ride, almost entirely because of John Candy and the miraculous casting of Maureen O'Hara.
Tampa Bay Times - 6/10 by Hal LipperAs it is, fans of Candy are expecting a John Candy movie -- that is, a reasonably hilarious comedy about a sweetly sympathetic bumbler. And while he is as cumbersomely lovable as a Saint Bernard puppy, he's rarely allowed to be funny here. He seems miserably uncomfortable as a romantic lead, or maybe it's just that he's playing opposite the Stepford Actress.
The Seattle Times - 6/10 by Michael UpchurchIt’s not the gem it wants to be, but it’s good in comparison to many of the sensation-hungry pictures around it; it’s not just a movie only a mother could love.
Associated Press - 6/10 by Bob ThomasChris Columbus, who wrote and directed as he did for Home Alone, enhances the comedic bits with commentary on the human condition: the emergence of male-female love; the silver cord between mother and son; the plight of aging single men whose only ties are their pub companions.
Boston Globe - 5/10 by Matthew GilbertBy the time everyone's done their darnedest to undermine this romance and the tirelessly selfless St. Danny has begun to contemplate cutting the apron strings, they've all nearly worn out their welcome. It's simple, sweet and uninspired.
Entertainment Weekly - 5/10 by Owen GleibermanThe performers keep you watching (Candy, I’m convinced, could be a fine dramatic actor), yet the movie itself is a thin procession of clichés.
