      Audience Member Terrible acting, worse character development was random and horrible. No confusion in any of the characters. Why did he disappear? WTF? How did we go from a narrative told over brunch to a real-time story? Why make "The One" jealous, cancel the wedding, then disappear. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member "The One" is a real face-palm of a film. It has all the necessary ingredients of a well done (albeit insubstantial) 4-star indie film -- all ingredients except one: a skilled scriptwriter. Either that, or every character in the movie is supposed to be schizophrenic for some unknown reason. Characters' motivations seem to turn on a dime. The closeted character is uncomfortable with his sexuality one minute, then seemingly fully comfortable the next, only to instantly regress back to the closet in yet another. In one scene, the closeted character tells his paramour to get out of his life, and then the very next minute when he leaves the apartment, the closeted character is so obsessed he's stalking the paramour and following him to a gay bar, presumably jealous that the paramour might find someone else. It's just nuts! Hence, the "face-palm" at the start of the review. Unfortunately, "The One" amounts to a string of squandered opportunities. This film would have been (and should have been!) much better, had it a decent script. As it is, it's just a nice-looking time filler. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I guess is very similar to "Imagine me and you (2005)" http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/imagine_me_and_you/ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The hottest love has the coldest end Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      David DeWitt New York Times Thought piece about identity? Soap opera romance? Light dramedy? Tragedy? "The One" doesn't find its footing in any of these genres; they just plod around one another uncomfortably. Rated: 2/5 Oct 6, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
