My One and Only

Witty dialogue highlights this relatively slow-paced, factually inspired, semiautobiographical film that chronicles the cross-country adventures of a young George Hamilton (Logan Lerman), his effeminate brother (Mark Rendall), and their adage-spouting mother (Renée Zellweger) after she leaves her philandering bandleader husband (Kevin Bacon) in New York City in search of a meal ticket in the guise of a bankrupt businessman (Steve Webber) and an abusive military officer (Chris Noth) in Boston, a wealthy skirt-chaser (Eric McCormack) in Pittsburgh, and a deceptively normal paint salesman (David Koechner) in St. Louis in 1953.
