LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
Today, Herrick Entertainment has announced its partnership with Target as the
exclusive retailer for the DVD release of the feature film My One and Only
starring Oscar and Golden Globe-winning actress Renée Zellweger. Distributed by
Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment, the DVD will be available nationwide
on November 10, 2009 exclusively at Target and Target.com and will be available
for rental through Blockbuster. 

Directed by Richard Loncraine and written by Charlie Peters, My One and Only
stars Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Mark Rendell, Christopher Noth, Eric
McCormack, Steven Weber, David Koechner, Nick Stahl and Kevin Bacon. The film is
a true story inspired by George Hamilton and his teenage years during the 1950s
as he began his career as a movie actor. Zellweger plays the glamorous but
self-absorbed Anne Devereaux, who leaves her philandering bandleader husband in
New York and takes her two teenaged sons across the country. As she searches for
a new man who`s worthy - and capable - of supporting her and her family, Anne
discovers her own unexpected self-reliance, and builds a strong relationship
with her sons. Her adventures, as seen through the perceptive eyes of her son
George, are alternately hilarious and poignant. Norton Herrick and Aaron Ryder
produced My One and Only, which played nationwide in all major markets around
the Country. 

"This unique deal is a great way for Herrick Entertainment to build on its
entrance into the motion-picture business," said Norton Herrick. "My One and
Only is a movie we`re very proud to have made, and we believe that Target and
Twentieth Century Fox will expand the picture`s theatrical run into a
tremendously successful home-entertainment release. We`re very pleased to be in
business with these industry leaders and to present My One and Only to
audiences, both in theaters and at home." 

The film premiered worldwide on August 21st. Critics provided favorable
responses including: 

"Sharp, fun and affectionate without ever tipping into sentimentality..."
- Bloomberg.com 

"...Rolls a love story, road movie and coming of age tale with a heavy dose of
wry humor into one."
- New York Times 

"This is essentially Renée Zellweger's picture, and she glows in it." *** 1/2
(3.5 stars)
- Roger Ebert 

"I really loved My One and Only... One of the best things Renée Zellweger has
ever done." *** 1/2 (3.5 stars)
- Rex Reed, New York Observer 

"General audiences should embrace this most amusing film... Zellweger is the
force of nature at the center of the film, but Lerman holds his own. Peters`
lightning-fast script and Loncraine`s steady direction steer this road picture
to the sunny side of the street."
- The Hollywood Reporter 

"An exceptionally good comedy loaded with laughs, heart and wonderful
performances. Renée is at her best!"
- Pete Hammond, Boxoffice Magazine 

"Pleasant and pro-made... The ensemble collectively displays crisp comic timing
throughout.Leading the pack with elan, Zellweger... Loncraine`s helming is brisk
and efficient. Craft contributions are pro without showiness, highlighted by a
thoughtfully chosen soundtrack of period tunes."
- Variety 

"A terrific, star-studded film. A pure delight!."
- Sixty Second Preview
