Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very best movie i ever watch

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

"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.

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! :)

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).
