Personally, Michelle Pfeiffer has always been a brilliant actress who makes truly two-thumps-up films. After the innocent Madame de Tourvel in "Dangerous Liaisons"; graceful Susie Diamond in "The Fabulous Baker Boys"; Confucius-like Louanne Johnson in "Dangerous Minds" ; ambitious Tally Atwater in "Up Close & Personal", it's undoubtedly wonderful to see her portray a real normal role that clings to real life, which makes me feel so close to her. George Clooney has the unique looks to play both normal man like Jack Taylor in this film and others like Daniel Ocean in "Ocean's Eleven", Ulysses McGill Everett ("O, Brother, Where Art Thou?"), Billy Tyne ("The Perfect Stor"), Thomas Devoe ("The Peacemaker") and so on. It's a great enjoyment to see these two talented actors star together in this story which gives just the wonderful description to the busy lives of modern people in big cities.
This is not a love story to me, but a story of modern busyness and love between parents and chidlren. Nowadays, people're busy with works and big events, and neglect the importance of spending time with their children, or can't be perfect at both. This film interpert the truth in a funny and warm way. It not just point out what modern people are really like, but all the potential problems (like in this film, a cellular phone mix-up, cat-eaten classroom fish, a crushed architectural model, a marble that has to be surgically removed from a small nostril, a lost child and various other crises). But even though all these catastrophes which may end up both Melanie and Jack's careers all add up in this hectic day, they finally go through all of them and it turned out to be one fine day.
I have three favorite films of all times, this is one of them. I fall in love with it when I first saw it, and till now, it remains my favorite one. "One Fine Day", a truly real, convincing, interesting, and close-to-life ONE FINE FILM!
