About This Movie

The One and Only is a charming blend of comedy and romance that really captures the essence of post-college uncertainty. Andy Schmidt, played by a young and earnest Henry Winkler, finds himself navigating love and ambition in a way that feels both relatable and a bit absurd. The pacing has a loose, almost meandering quality that mirrors Andy's journey, and the wrestling angle adds a quirky layer to the narrative. Carl Reiner's direction brings out subtle humor, with a cast that has a great chemistry. There’s a nice balance of humor and heart, and while it leans into silliness at times, it offers a genuine reflection on dreams and the often humorous struggle to achieve them.

A unique exploration of post-college life.Features a comedic take on wrestling as a career.Captures the charm of 70s rom-coms.
