Being a John Candy fan, I'm not sure how this movie slipped our attention. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, Keith! Now we have more reason to see it, since Maureen O'Hara is in it.
The price difference between Amazon and Deep Discount DVD is significant on this film, with DDD selling it for $8.99 and Amazon for $17.99 (both offer free shipping, with conditions at Amazon).

Well, we took full advantage of the better price on Deep Discount DVD and ordered this film, and watched it for the first time ever. Though our kids have some memories of Maureen O'Hara's characters in John Wayne movies being "grumpy" (they're right), Only the Lonely shows her in a much nastier mode, although she does soften by the end of the movie.
It's an interesting mix of romantic comedy, along with some very poignant scenes and topics. John Candy was completely capable of playing the romantic leading man, and it is a terrible shame he died so young. It would have been interesting to see where his career might have taken him. Definitely a movie we enjoyed and will watch again.
