Amazon.co.uk Review
This gentle comedy almost seems like something out of Hollywood's Golden Age, a movie that might have been made by a talented contract director, perhaps featuring Don Ameche and Claudette Colbert. But in fact One Fine Day stars George Clooney as an investigative columnist for a New York newspaper and Michelle Pfeiffer as an architect. Both single parents, the two meet and bicker and develop a relationship over the course of a day while their young children play together. Michael Hoffman (Restoration) directs with a good sense of what's funny about harried caretakers and kids who do whatever they want to do. The story stretches out of shape a bit when Clooney's character has to rally to prove some point of corruption at City Hall; nobody involved seems quite up to making that subplot believable, but all that really matters about this very nice movie is the winning love story. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

One fine film!
This film a classic! I didn't know wether to laugh or to cry when watching it. Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney are both typical single parents who believe everything they do can be done on their own and when they really need help they have to turn to the last people that they would ever turn to - each other. The film is about 1 day in which the two enemies end up together and it is shown through a lot of humour! The two children in this film play excellent roles in hating each other facial expressions are well shown and opinions are given about each other, just like their parents views of each other.

This is my favourite film of all time!
I love this film. The fact that it has George Clooney in is a bonus, I will admit, but he is not the only good thing about this film. The comedy is perfect, the storyline if flawless and the characters work amazingly together. With a lot of films that I watch, there is always a scene that I can fast forward through because I either don't like it or it's boring. I can honestly say I have never had to do that with this film. I can watch it over and over and over again and it still has the same magic and imagination it had the first time I watched it. I would recommend this film to anyone, as I don't think there are that many films that are simple, sweet and affective like this one. It's one a of rare kind and I love it.

Worth it just for Natalie Merchant...
The soundtrack itself is a lovely combination of classic love songs to make the heart swell a little and some good old "feel good" tunes to mixed in for good measure. But the real gem on this album is a stunning cover version of the Chiffon's song 'One Fine Day' performed by the above mentioned Natalie Merchant, scrummily jazzed up with a voice that would melt butter on an ice cube. Gorgeous.
