If you have any curiosity at all about how a fellow like George Hamilton became a fellow like George Hamilton, My One and Only answers the question by looking, fondly, at his primary caregiver.
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

A grand, colorful coming-of-age story with a candy box color palette and a standout performance by Renee Zellweger. It's a great story and a great crowd-pleaser.
Mick LaSalle, Houston Chronicle

My One and Only is like a tale told by a first-rate raconteur, its twists and turns all the more intriguing because it's all true -- more or less.
