One Fine Day (1996)

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.

One Fine Day is a perfect example of the practical aspects of love and how it is not always about roses for gifts, heartfelt proposals or the first love of our life that is required to be happy. The story is about two single parents, played by the beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer and the ever charming George Clooney. Their on screen chemistry is just fabulous to watch and the entire movie progresses on how caring about little things in life amidst all the chaos can lead to the perfect partner in the most unexpected of ways. George Clooney's chocolate voice does the trick again as his dialogs are delivered with the minimum of efforts and yet they reach very deep, specially for a lady. Michelle Pfeiffer looks very comfortable (even when playing a worked up single mother) in all her scenes and the script is decent too. The kids are cute, very cute. The ease with which the story of this movie progresses by is showcased by Mr. Clooney's gentle smile which pretty much says it all, "Don't worry..It'll come through!". The last scene of the movie and the conversation that the two leads have in that is fantastically humorous and romantic in its own ways! Excellent conversations all throughout! If you are feeling the lack of warmth in your everyday life, please watch this once. A movie for the true believers! :)

I had to watch this dreadful film on a bus ride. It's supposed to be a sweet romantic comedy with George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer but the film just falls short. They're both single parents in New York City and they are having the worst day or the best day. The film's writing is weak and the actors don't do anything for me. The film is really bad in my opinion and I can't stand George Clooney at all as obnoxious jerk of a Daily News reporter, Jack Taylor. Michelle Pfeiffer does better as an architect, single mother. The supporting cast is excellent except they're just acting their parts. The film is a lame attempt to talk about single parenting in the city. The supporting cast has Holland Taylor as Melanie's mother just like her role as Evelyn on television. Ellen Greene is barely recognizable as Elaine Lieberman but does a nice job. Charles Durning is wonderful as always as Jack's boss. Sheila Kelley plays Jack's ex. Pete Hamill, a well known New York City reporter, plays a New York City reporter by a different name. I don't know why they just didn't let him play himself. Pete Hamill is a New York City institution. Anyway, the film was done a few years before events changed New York City forever.

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.
