Description:
Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter lead an all-star cast in this critically acclaimed tale of life, love and chance. Jilted by her boyfriend, Renata (Hunter), the oldest daughter of a close-knit Italian-American family, falls in love with Sam (Dreyfuss), an abrasive and forcefully charming businessman. But neither her spirited sister (Laura San Giacomo), her down-to-earth father (Danny Aiello), or her supportive mother (Gena Rowlands) can tolerate Sam's often obnoxious intrusion into their family circle. Aggressive and overwhelmingly generous, Sam proceeds - with only the best intentions - to disrupt and nearly demolish Renata's family. Love, humor and forgiveness go once more around as the Bellas try to balance Renata's happiness with their family's survival in this funny and often touching story, directed by Lasse Hallstrom.

Rating:  - "Once Around"
An older and very quirky love story. This one has pretty much gone unnoticed, but it's worth checking it out. If you like Richard Dreyfuss and Holly Hunter, you will like this movie.
Rating:  - *A Wonderful Movie*
I watched this and it really made me want to be a part of this family.A movie that shows love,happiness,and sadness.It shows that sometimes its hard for a family to stick together,but you need to.I enjoyed it.
Rating: - Once Around
If you come from an Italian/American family (and I do) this is a "got to see" movie. Right up there with Moon Struck, it follows the trials and tribulations of growing up in such a family. It's funny, romantic, touching and sad. I believe it's one of Holly Hunter's and Richard Dreyfuss's best. And the fabulous supporting acting of Danny Aiello, and Gina Rolands rounds it out to be one super, see over and over again movie. Pop some corn, grab a box of Kleenex and enjoy!
Rating:  - Yuck! A comedy that morphs into a meoldrama
Perhaps "Beaches" for the family melodrama generation, this movie starts out with great promise as a screwball comedy, with Richard Dreyfuss well cast as a hyperbolic and wealthy salesman who meets lifetime failure Holly Hunter. She switches nameplates so she can sit next to him at a motivational session dinner, they meet, become entranched with each other, and the romance is on. Then she takes him home to her Boston family which doesn't like the guy. All the ingredients are there for an outstanding ... Read More
Rating: - One of the Best
This is one of the best movies I've ever seen.
I loved everything about it: the acting, directing, and screenplay are top-notch. Richard Dreyfus knocked me out with his brilliant, ought-to-get-an-Academy-Award performance as the Lithuanian suitor. He is so intensely outgoing, he wants so much to embrace and touch people that it hurts to watch him. He is vibrant, enthusiastic, life-loving and warm, but one of the pivotal themes of the movie is that he is socially very clumsy. Typically, ... Read More
