    We loved it!

    My girlfriend and I watched The One with some friends, and we loved it! There was the romantic and fanciful daydreams and the reality of where the story was going, and we could all relate to the idea of "the one" person who you would be best with in a relationship. I recently read Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus at my girlfriend's suggestion, and the movie carried a lot of those ideas in an entertaining fashion. The actors were all great, and it is an excellent family film about love and finding the right person. Young or old, any dating couple would enjoy this movie.

    When will it be on DVD!?

    I absolutely loved this movie! I am a huge hockey fan and that was what basically attracted me to this movie (shallow reason, I know.) But, I loved every minute of it and hope it will be out for purchase soon- this is one of those movies you could watch again and again and again!! But god, I wish I was in Meredith Monroe's decision choosing between a pro hockey player and a cute caterer! ;) You'll love it!

    This movie is the "One" to see this Valentine's day!

    The One is a wonderful movie. It is very similar to "The Wedding Planner", but is still it's own movie. Richard Ruccolo is great as Michael Blake, and it was great to see him again since his show went off the air. He is very adorable, and should have more roles! This movie was so great, I stayed up to watch the encore presentation. It really gets you think about whether or not "the One" really exists. I don't know when it will be on again, right now its not scheduled anytime soon, but definitely watch it with someone you love!

    You know what? It was actually pretty cute

    Not a terrible way to spend a rainy Sunday night, folding laundry.

    It's not anything we've never seen before: boy meets girl, boy falls

    in love with girl, girl is already engaged to very successful Mr.

    Perfect pro-hockey player. But anymore now, it's not the stories that

    drive these kinds of predictible romantic potboilers; you have to

    have likeable actors who can pull off likeable "cute" without looking

    like annoying Olsen Twins "cute". In this case, they hired some

    very cute actors to play easygoing, made-for-TV quirky characters,

    especially Richard Ruccolo, whose characterization of a goofy, but

    sincere caterer, keeps the schmaltzy moments grounded and you

    can't help but root for him -- he reminds you of a best friend who

    was always the nice guy who deserved a good relationship or just

    someone your mother would want you to bring home. Watching it

    makes you have to admit to yourself that for even the most devout

    cynic, there is still that miniscule part that still wants to give true

    love a chance.

    Even better than big budget Hollywood movie

    It really is a surprise to me a made-for-TV movie will be that enjoyable. If someone famous like Tom Hanks or J.Lo are in this movie. It's gonna be a huge hit. But all the actor/actress in this movie are good enough to beat anyone of them. Richard Ruccolo is one of main factor to make this movie funny. Hope he can make more good movie for us in the future. Anyway. U may find that this movie is impossible to be better than Hollywood movie. But it's free on TV man!!! Nothing beat that.
