I 'm surprised there's only a handful of comments on this movie. I saw Only when I laugh a long time ago in in the theatre and moderately enjoyed it. On the minus side, it's a real tearjerker in a somewhat manilulative way-I cried I do admit-but it's one of those movies where your supposed to cry-on the plus side however, I enjoyed Cristy Mc.nicol's performance and found the mother/daughters relationship touching and the story in general seemed somewhat realistic if a bit hollywood. I wouldn't call this a comedy at all, though there might have been some funny moments, it was more drama oriented. I had thought this was a very popular movie-but not so, judging from lack of comments on this board. At any rate, this surely didn't wow me or anything but it wasn't bad and was definetly above average.
