StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

Chantel Contreras It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Devran ikiz "One Fine Day" opens with a warm atmosphere. It is raining and the camera is outside of a building, walking through the houses and showing us the people that are inside their homes. This is also how the film ends. This early scene is accompanied by Natalie Merchant's song - One Fine Day - just like the name of the film. The opening scene signals the overall mood and atmosphere of the film. Despite all the rush during its progress, "One Fine Day" is peaceful and relaxing. Just like other examples of Romantic Comedy genres, it is rich with beautiful soundtracks and manages to take this beauty one step further by getting itself an Academy Award Nomination for Best Original Song, "For the First Time" performed by Kenny Loggins. The name of the film is also inspired by 1963 song with the same name, performed by The Chiffons. Starring Michelle Pfeiffer, as Melanie, and George Clooney, as Jack, "One Fine Day" has the usual clichés of the genre, but manages to make a slight difference with the amazing performances of Alex D. Linz and Mae Whitman, as the kids of Melanie and Jack.Melanie is an architect and a self-disciplined independent single mother. She has her rules and tries to handle everything by herself. Jack, on the other hand, is a reporter and an easygoing single guy. After his ex-wife goes on honeymoon with her new husband, Jack remains with his daughter for a week and in their first day together, both Melanie and Jack's kids lose their school field trip because of Jack, and both parents remain with their kids in their busy schedules, and this creates a series of funny and misfortunate events for everyone involved. Even though it is obvious from the first meeting that both Melanie and Jack fall in love with each other, for the sake of the story they keep contradicting and hating each other. The director Michael Hoffman, doesn't try to prioritize these conflicts and he is using relatively smart conversations. These conversations reveal little hate, passion and love. Even from this point of view you can pretty much guess how this film is going to end.The casting is brilliant and it is a pleasure to watch these highly talented people in a romantic comedy. From supporting roles to the main characters, everyone fits in this story. Plot is not something extraordinary (if there is one) and misfortunate events are added in the story in a forced way. I mean, we are presented with two different profiles of Jack and Melanie. From the beginning, we get the idea that they are completely different, and the director concentrates on this pretty much, however, the problem-solving skills of these people do not match with their problem handling strategies. This leaves gaps within the story and damages its credibility. Other than this, both Jack and Melanie have the mandatory level of attractiveness for the leading roles, and I find the scenes where women throw themselves on Jack quite unnecessary. Everyone gets the idea that Jack is an attractive guy and has a strong character. It was meaningless to make extra efforts to stress this fact. Leaving this aside, I have especially enjoyed Michelle Pfeiffer performance. "One Fine Day" is warm and everything else is highly enjoyable. This film has only one purpose to serve, and this purpose is to make you feel good. In my opinion it manages to do that with flying colors. Imagine a rainy day in New York. I think there is nothing better than this. All the rush during the film, all the chaos, all the panic makes the film better and the ending more meaningful. Eventually under the shadow of sleepiness, late in the night, Melanie and Jack meet and they fall asleep in each other's arms while kids are watching The Wizard of Oz, and the film ends exactly as it starts, with camera rolling outside of their building witnessing once more the lives of the neighbors. How nice it is to see people minding their own business and living in a happy and peaceful way. This is not mentioned or shown anywhere in the film; however, it is not very hard to imagine this after watching "One Fine Day." It is a film of good mood and happy thoughts. If there is such thing "One Fine Day" is perfect for a rainy afternoon.

Kirpianuscus First, for the old fashion recipe. because, one of the basic virtue is to remind Frank Capra romantic comedies. , in same measure, the clever way to tell the story, the chemistry between George Clooney - remembering, in few scenes , Cary Grant good performances - and Michele Pfeiffer , the feeling to be one of stories from every day but in right clothes are virtues of a film who gives a realistic, seductive and smart message about duties, love, second chance and freedom, family and fight against yourself. so, a beautiful film.

david-161-28390 I knew it was going to be a predictable storyline.....but...... I was hoping the comedy would be good enough to compensate for the predictability of the wafer-thin storyline. I was wrong! It's not like there was no comedy - there was a fair sprinkling of good scenes - but nowhere near enough to make it worthwhile. Not the worst film I ever watched....but I've definitely seen better (funnier). Good to see a few old faces in the supporting cast - they helped make it almost worth watching - especially Clooney' newspaper boss. It was just another Hollywood "recipie movie" - pour in the ingredients - and out comes the cake - but it was just to sugary and not enough substance.

eliza andrews Let's face it. There are several times during our everyday lives when we just need to...RELAX.In other words, we just need to de-compress,to spend some free time watching a funny,optimistic movie and escape from our anxieties and our problems even for a couple of hours. Well..."One Fine Day" fulfills this target perfectly. It's a really nice film, the story is simple and funny(similar to a screwball comedy),the lines are clever and the two stars ,Pfeiffer and Clooney,are very good at their roles. More precisely,they both play two single parents who are forced,due to the fact that their kids miss the school trip,to cooperate and spend almost an entire day together in order to compromise their demanding schedule at work and the care of their children. Jack(Clooney)is a cool,charming newspaper reporter and Melanie(Pfeiffer) is a clever,dynamic and slightly neurotic architect.Of course the attraction between them is obvious from the very first moment but since they don't admit the truth to each other, they spend the entire day flirting and creating a romantic and funny battle of the sexes. Like I said, it's a really nice film, that can cheer you up. Even though it deserves an 8/10, I give it a 10/10 because I think it's unfortunately underrated. Try it and relax!!!
