MY ONE AND ONLY

Movie: My One and Only
Jan's Rating: 8
Time: 1 Hour 25 Minutes

Jan's Opinion: I thought this movie was going to be the life story of George Hamilton's Mother but it is actually just one year of their lives - 1953, the year George's Mother left his Father. Renee Zellweger, as always, gives an excellent performance as George's Mother, and Kevin Bacon plays his Father. Logan Lerman plays the role of George. Well, George's Dad had a band that travelled and he cheated on his Mother one too many times so she took the boys and left him (Kevin Bacon). George has an older brother who was very much gay which probably wasn't easy for him back in 1953. So, they buy a new Cadillac, leave New York, and the movie is about their adventures driving across the United States, via Route 66, on their way to California, as George's Mother tries to find another rich husband. It wasn't the best movie I've seen this year, but I enjoy anything with Renee Zellweger. She is such a good little actress.
