Stupid of me
This is really stupid of me. I've seen this film many time, but I never put two and two together until tonight. I was watching the old film, Marty, starring Ernest Borgnine. Only The Lonely is a re-telling of the film Marty. Overweight, unattractive man, living with his mother meets unattractive, lonely girl who is a social outcast. The mother is worried that she'll be pushed out. His friends tell him to dump the girl. There are a couple of other elements that Marty doesn't have. And only the Lonely is more of a comedy. But, it's really the same film.
