Diagonaldi Very well executed

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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

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.

Atreyu_II Long gone are the days when I considered myself a romantic but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying this charming romantic comedy to a degree, even though it is a genre of film that I used to like better when I was younger. For a romantic comedy this one is fun and has some charm. It is romantic without being too lame or mushy stuff, although it still is cheesy at times.George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer have perfect chemistry. So have the two kids, as good in their respective roles as the adults are on theirs.Despite all the fast pace and daily rush subject this films deals with, it still has room for classic humor, romance and a certain nostalgic/classic feeling to it thanks to oldie songs and the excellent scenario of New York city, making that city look perhaps better than it really is, especially now after the horrifying events of 11th September 2001.George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer would make a good couple in real life, just like Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner would. Their characters's rivalries are funny although they become frustrating after a while, but not profane or sadistic, they're just normal (if unnecessary) rivalries.This should please most fans of romantic comedies and might as well please (to a degree) some who are not into this type of film.

long-ford '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

Framescourer I'm a big fan of both Clooney and Pfeiffer when they're both in their element. This is pretty close to it. As a romcom based in the Big Apple there has to be pace, sharp dialogue and wit (not least from the director, Michael Hoffman). We get all of this although one has the feeling that everyone got together beforehand and told each other 'this film's got to have pace, sharp dialogue, wit...'Jack (Clooney)'s ex-wife is exactly the same as Melanie (Pfeiffer). Caught on a day when she's up against it though she let's her tongue of the leash and this grips Jack's wilfully boyish imagination. This seems like a particularly cunning stroke one behalf of the writing team, who must be aware of Clooney's huge appeal across a broad range of women and, realising that inclusion is better business than alienating any one group, make it clear that even the generically rejected aren't terminally out of the running. The rest of the film is a version of The Parent Trap in which the couple's sparky children involuntarily contrive to bring the adults together.So far, two acts down and so good but then the film switches off. It's a great shame that no-one could find something more stimulating or intelligent to close the movie out. Still the stars know that they're the draw of the project and give good, if perfunctory happy ending. 6/10
