5.0 out of 5 stars Great feelgood film, December 17, 2005

This review is from: The One And Only [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.0 Import - Australia ] (DVD)

Really enjoyable feelgood romantic comedy. It is in the same league as "Brassed Off"

Hollywood would never produce great films like these two.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inconsistent, January 26, 2012

This review is from: The One and Only [Region 2] (DVD)

This movie is listed among the selections from Suzanne Bier. It is not by her. However, she did make a well received movie by the same name (when translated) in 1999. Any ideas where to find it with English subtitles? Thanks

This review is from: The One and Only [Region 2] (DVD)

My husband is a Geordie and we have done Newcastle Upon Tyne together, so when I heard about this film, I had to get it. There are tons of great views of Newcastle city, the famous bridges, Tynemouth, St. James Park (home of NUFC Toon Army Magpies Newcastle United Football Club Soccer), South Shields, and the Angel of the North. I think Gateshead appears, too. The acting is great. Very cute and funny. Justine Waddell is the star and though she's not famous in America, surprisingly we have 3 of her films on DVD (The One and Only, The Fall, and Dracula 2000). This is her best of the films, in my opinion, because she really gets to act. And she's funny, too. The film has unexpected events, so I won't spoil them for you, but it's very funny. Patsy Kensit was really funny in this, with her sideline story. Finally, I'm now a big fan of Richard Roxburgh (who is Australian). He's becoming famous in many things now, but in The One and Only he's just a regular guy - not an up and coming movie star. The film is from 2001 or 2002, so it's slightly dated as you can see by the Art Museum, NUFC shirts, & more. But it is one that we will watch again and again. Oh, and as for the Geordie accents? Awful. But they are still better portrayors of the wonderful people of the Tyne River than the trainwreck that is called "Geordie Shore". Give this a try, I promise you will really enjoy it. And, yes, my macho husband from North Shields LOVED the film, too. Men will enjoy this as much as women.
