"One Fine Day" is your mainstream romantic comedy. Although
it's not sensational, you can view it without crawling up the
walls in a mind-dulling boredom - at least until the last ten
minutes. (Have you ever noticed that the last ten minutes of
a so-so movie always seem the longest?)
Michelle Pfeiffer is a single mother who literally misses the
boat one hectic morning - her son's class is taking a boat trip
and she makes it to the dock just in time to watch the boat
depart. At the dock, she runs into another straggling parent
- single father George Clooney who is her exact opposite: irresponsible,
easygoing, and, in my opinion, a better parent. Anyway, this
equals instant fireworks because this is, after all, a movie.
They continually bump into each other all day, accidentally
swap cell phones, rely on each other for babysitting, and by
the end of the day they're smooching on her couch. Not exactly
realistic or even terribly inventive, but it has enough vaguely
amusing scenes and a sketchy but adequate plot to rate a two.
My rating : 2 stars
Rating : PG
