Best movie ever!

A different way of telling a story

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

One Fine Day came out in 1996 and starred Michelle Phieffer and George Clooney and tells the tale of two single parents both whom were divorced by their partners team up after both kids end up losing their trip with the school kids. Of course both parents decide to take it in turns to watch both of their kids as Melaine(Phieffer) has a big promotion at her job while Jack(Clooney) is a reporter who wants to find out about a woman named Elaine. So will Jack and Melanie fall for each other?Bottom line I always loved this film not because of the story but I always loved George Clooney and Michelle Phieffer and I thought their chemistry was very good. I was happy that I got it on DVD having grown up as a kid watching it on TV,so I can watch it again and again. Underrated romantic comedy.4 stars **** out of ***** B+

Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) is an architect and mother of Sammy (Alex D. Linz). Jack Taylor (George Clooney) is a newspaper columnist and father of Maggie (Mae Whitman). They are both extremely busy divorcées, late for their kids' school field trip, and forced to babysit their kids for the day around their busy schedules.These are two of the sexiest people in the world. It should be an easy matter to make a hot rom-com out of this. But this is a struggle. The scheduling problem reminds me of driving carpool and kids' baseball practice. And there aren't any big laughs. I think the biggest problem is that neither are great comedic actors. The humor is pretty much all the same. The kids cause problems for the parents, and they struggle to keep going with their hectic day. It's all very cute. The comedy is passable.On the other hand, the romance doesn't get enough of a chance. They are separated for too much of the movie. I'm surprised they had time for romance with their busy day. The kids have more chemistry. The chemistry between the adults seems much more manufactured. I guess all rom-coms are manufactured. I just don't want it to feel like it.

The fine day of the title is ironic. In fact we are seeing a rainy day in chaotic New York, where a man and a woman, both divorced, are trying to fulfil their hectic schedules with their respective children in tow. The man is Jack Taylor, a high-flying reporter (George Clooney), and the woman is Melanie Parker, an equally ambitious architect (Michelle Pfeiffer). Due to a mix-up, the two children (excellently played by Mae Whitman & Alex Linz), miss out on a school trip, and the parents agree to share responsibilities between them. All sorts of mishaps befall them, including Melanie losing Jack's daughter for a while. The stress and strain results in much hostility and fault-finding between the two leads. Which fools nobody. We can see the result coming a mile off.This predictable movie certainly isn't the finest day of either Clooney or Pfeiffer. Both have made celluloads of better films. HOWEVER, it's a really enjoyable film to watch if you want the feelgood factor. Perhaps you have had a bad day, and it's raining outside. Watch this movie curled up on the sofa, with a cup of steaming cocoa. it's a nice lovable Hollywood romance. Clooney is Clooney, and Pfeiffer is always luminous even in her less demanding roles. And listen out for a meltingly beautiful performance of "One fine day" by Natalie Merchant (though it was the song "For the first time" that got Oscar-nominated).

'One fine Day' is a breezy romantic comedy with winning performances by Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney. The plot is standard Hollywood fluff as both of them keep running into each other while trying to get their respective kids to a school field trip. Both Clooney and Pfeiffer are charming and share good chemistry with each other. If there's a fault, it's that the two remain apart for most of the running time. It would have been nice to see them sharing more screen time together. Still, the film is pleasant fun and well worth watching, specially as a date movie.Overall 7/10
