Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney are magic on the screen together! This is pure entertainment, loved the kids as well. Why Michelle has only been nominated and never won an Oscar is beyond me. Some of the finest actors and actresses in Hollywood never win. Michelle is wholesome and makes great films be it comedy or drama so what's up with that? They finally recognized her on the walk of stars in Hollywood - after how many great films???? Has anyone seen her in Deep End of the Ocean - what a performance. Also great in Frankie and Johnny. Add this one to your collection for sure.

One Fine Day starring Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney is a sweet but fluffy romantic comedy. The movie takes place in one day and the two leads do have chemistry. I have seen better films in this genre but hey One Fine Day is harmless fun, so give it a try. Happy viewing!

This is a great family movie. It's cute and the characters are very relatable. I would recommend it to anyone who likes romantic comedies and family movies.

As a guy, I'm usually more of an action buff, but I do have a soft side that is my small collection of love films, this is one of, if not, my favorite. Pfeifer and Clooney have such chemisrty in this comedic love story, the film also is a great capture of the New York city scenery and lifestyle.

I have watched this movie several times. It is a nice story but does have some foul language I think it could have done without. The movie is clean with no sex or violence and frankly, it is nice to look at George Clooney for two hours.

The monologuing between Pfeiffer and Clooney made this movie so much fun to watch. From beginning to end, this movie keeps you laughing and shaking your head. It is a great romance flick to watch with your spouse.

This movies is a fun to watch family movie. Except for the G. D's at the beginning, the rest of the movie was great. It had romance along with learning how to be responsible. If you like movies that "tickle your fancy", you'll love this movie.

Michelle Pfeiffer, who is very pretty and a wonderful actress, plays a single working mother Melanie Parker who has a five-year-old son named Sammy (played by Alex D. Linz.) She one day has to hurry to get her son to his field trip. George Clooney plays Jack Taylor who is a writer and sees his six-year-old daughter Maggie (played by Mae Whitman) every weekend. When both their kids miss their field trip, the two are stuck babysitting their two kids while they both also try to work. They also fall in love. Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney have amazing chemistry, and they're both good actors. Alex D. Linz and Mae Whitman are also good actors and they both look like their onscreen parents. I love this movie. It's so good and funny and intelligent humor. I like Michelle more then Meg Ryan or Kate Hudson. She's a beautiful woman and a good actor. And George Clooney looks a lot younger in this movie then he does today, but still also good actor.

When I saw the movie- the first thing that hit me was the beauty of the intro song (One fine day) sang by Nathalie Merchant..wow! then "Hove I told you lately?" sang by Van morrison, which is a nice change form the Rod teward version.. and then tehre is Ella Fitzgerald singing "Isn't romantic?" just for this song the cd is priceless!! have u tried finding it in recollections? i tried and its almost hopeless.

Nice soundtrack. Cuts are listenable and enjoyable. There are a couple of songs on it that I wanted. Since the price was VERY tempting, I gave in and purchased it.

This is one of my most favorite chick flicks! I could watch this over and over again and never get tired of it!

Clooney and Pfieffer have great chemistry and energy in this romantic comedy of single parents who find love the second time around. It's like a potential step-siblings version of The Parent Trap when the little boy and girl scheme to get their respective parent a date. A positive message on how second chances can happen if you have the eyes and optimism of a child.

Great movie for the divorced and/or dumped segment of society. Hang in there, it will get better.

In profile Michelle Pfeiffer, hugging her little son (Alex D. Linz, cute as a button but obnoxious and dramatically insecure), holds her head to the ceiling and all at once it looks like she's all chin, a chin so sharp it could wound a man. Luckily the boy actor was spared, although he certainly hasn't been seen much lately. I guess he had a vogue six or seven years ago but, his astonishing self-absorption on screen foretold a history of audiences growing tired of him. Watching little Alex is like watching a glob of mercury harden into a mirror, while Michelle Pfeiffer who, for all I know may be equally narcissistic in real life, seems always to be sentient of every living thing--even the props--with which she interacts; I think people in the movie theater view this "noticing" quality as respect, and in turn we like her because of that. Her beauty is sort of freakish, and Hollywood plays with that freakishness as they did with Garbo, and thus Pfeiffer plays Catwoman on the one hand, and on the other, the driven career woman who doesn't care about love or men--the Faye Dunaway part--as she does here in ONE FINE DAY, where all she cares about is her job in the architectural firm, and carrying that balsawood maquette up from the shop into her boss's office. Meanwhile little Alex (Sammy) is radio-controlling little cars across the carpet of the office suite. You see the model car speeding towards Melanie's high heels--then you see her face, radiant and obsessed, in the soft glow of the balsa office park. A catastrophe is going to happen, and then it does. Our beautiful untouchable goddess is laid low, pretty much what the audience has been yearning to happen since the opening credits. Alex Linz looks on, gleefully, the horrid twerp.

I love this movie. Michelle Pfeiffer & George Clooney blow away any Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan boring films away. This is deffinily my favorite movie Michelle Pfeiffer & George Clooney are just the perfect couple characters in this movie. I also absolutily love Sammy Parker (Alex D. Linz) he is just so cute. I thought Home Alone 3 was his first and best well I was deffinitly wrong their. He can deffinilty act and near the end when Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) is at the restrunt with her boss and his boss Alex just gives you this smile that makes you want you want to pinch his cheek. The movie is just to good to be true. BY THE BEST ROMANTIC/COMIDY.

Not every night is not Oscar night. Its good to enjoy something from time to time that warms your heart and doesn't stress your brain.

One Fine Day is a pleasant romantic comedy that fits the bill. Sit back, get a little warm and fuzzy, and let your brain relax.

One Fine Day is a sweet romantic comedy starring George Clooney (Syriana) and Michelle Pfeiffer (I Am Sam), and directed by Michael Hoffman (A Midsummer Night's Dream).

The movie takes place in one very outrageous day in New York City, hence the title, as newspaper columnist Jack Taylor, played by Clooney, and architect Melanie Parker, played by Pfeiffer, miss their kids' field trip at school, blame each other, exchange kids so that they can each follow up on their day's work, and end up falling in love.

One Fine Day is one fine movie. It's charming, funny, and it can be enjoyed by men and women alike.

A wonderful collection of top class singers, delightful songs, and transmitting the joy of being alive and loving in every note.The contrast in pace and style of the Ad Libs, The Shirelles and Tina Arena gives that extra touch of spice and fun.
I liken this c/d to "You've got Mail" and "French Kiss" - only this one is far better. An added touch is the suite by James Newton Howard at the end, making this c/d perfect.

I discovered this movie on a Greyhound bus to go stay with my girlfriend out of town, which is 6 hours away (11 by bus). When you're stuck in a bus for 11 hours, anything to pass the time is great. Being a guy that has a soft spot for chick flicks, this movie really surprised me. It's not really all sappy or anything, it's just more taken from real life. There's no unrealistic dialogue. If you are the kind of person that enjoys realism in movies, then this is the movie for you. It has it all.

It has comedy, romance, adventure (kind of). This movie really kind of takes you on a roller coaster ride. The acting in it is brilliant. I give Michelle and George 5 stars for their acting. It helps that it's a great script too, though. The music is fitting to the story. I really like the point in the movie where they put in Van Morrison's Have I Told You Lately, it's so fitting.

To sum up the movie in as least amount of words as possible, I would say the movie is about how a day can seem hectic, full of problems, and just downright stressful. But at the end of the day, it can be looked upon as a great day. You can hate someone at the start of a day, and at the end, fall in love with them.

This movie will have a special meaning to me for a long time, because the day I saw it to me, was exactly like the movie. Stressful, tiring, and long, but in a nutshell it was...ONE FINE DAY!

Decent film for romance buffs, ONE FINE DAY delivers on the leads of George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer (Batman and Catwoman?). Not much here except the character of Michelle Pfeiffer's son Sammy Parker (Alex D. Linz) seemed to be at the brunt of all the mishaps during the course of the film and to this reveiwer,ruined the whole film for me. If the creator's had toned down the kid's bratty behavior, it would have been a more enjoyable film experience.

I remember watching this movie when it first came out on VHS and being a little disappointed with it. I was excited to find a film starring Clooney and Pfeiffer but was feeling a little let down when it was over. Having recently seen George in ER reruns, I saw this DVD on the shelf and decided to give it another shot. I'm sure glad that I did as I thoroughly enjoyed watching it today. This will make a great addition to my DVD collection as it will for yours. A nice, lighthearted romance movie that doesn't star either Hanks or Ryan. Who would have thought that could have happened?

My husband and I both watched "One Fine Day" and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of acting and plot. This movie had more depth than most people probably notice. There was the superficial romance, and comedy. Then the underlying story of the career chase at the expense of family.
I wasn't sure just how it would be resolved and was happy to see that in the end family won out. This is a must see in this day and age when parents of both sexes tend to put everything else before their home commitments. The consequences of power grabs was shown in a very realistic way. I know. I've seen it close up with people I know and maybe this movie would be a good gift, subtle hint, to someone you know who could use a little push to make wiser decisions of their own. Who knows, it might just be the impetus needed to save a family from the problems that happen when career trumps home life.
One of the best movies that I've seen George Clooney in, next to Perfect Storm. He can actually act. Michelle Pfeiffer brought more talent to this film than I've usually seen from her also. The best plots seem to bring out the best in actors. What a great vehicle for actors, and the improvement of family life in this day and age. It deserved a PG rating and will be part of my home collection.

Just finished watching it. I want my 2 hours back. Enough said.

The movie is great. Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney have the chemistry of Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan when it comes to romantic comedies. The music to the movie is also great!

Natalie Merchant performs a great, slower version of the original song "One Fine Day" which is also featured on this soundtrack. The Ad Libs' "The Boy From New York City" is just an old school, upbeat, fun song. "For The First Time" is a beautiful song performed by Kenny Loggins. "Mama Said" follows up, performed by The Shirelles, which is an also fun, upbeat, old school type song. Other great songs on this soundtrack feature "Someone Like You" by Shawn Colvin and the original version of "One Fine Day" performed by The Chiffons.

This is a great soundtrack to one of the greatest romantic/comedy movies ever made.

As tons of critics say the movie One Fine Day is "One Fine Movie." The setting is in New york where you always take a taxi everywhere you go. Single mom, Meline Parker (Pfeiffer) rushes because today supposeable is the biggest day of her life of being an architect with a great diagram for a new buliding. This is also an important day for a journalist Jack Taylor (Clooney) who needs to get proof and prove that he did not lie in his coloum. He shares the common thing of being a single dad.
The movie has these two parents juggleing their five year old kids for their careers that are on the line. Jack's daughter Maggie (Mae Whitman) gets to follow kittens and be spoiled. While Meline's son (Alex D. Linz) plays with little action figures at work that make her trip and destroy her diagram and keeps slobbering food on Meline's clothes.
This movie is funny and romantic. If you are a person into romantic comody's I suggest this movie. I believe you will be pleased with what you watch. I know I was. It's a movie with wonderful actors that also make a cute couple.

This a wonderful film to watch no matter what time of year it is. Melanie, Pfeiffer, is a single mom trying to juggle a time consuming job and a precocious little boy. Jack ,Clooney, is a newspaper reporter and part-time father who not only hasn't grown up but is having problems taking responsibility for is energetic daughter. Where does this lead.. Well, Melanie is suppose to pick up Maggie ,Clooney's daughter, and Jack was suppose to call Melanie to let her know that the plans were changed. Neither have ever met the other due to the fact that they only know of each other through Jack's ex-wife. The unforseen delay causes the children to be late for their school field trip. Now, they both have a busy workday ahead of them and nowhere for the children to stay. This is when the movie starts to heat up. The attraction between Melanie and Jack is apparent, but they both are weary and cynical. The movie spans 24 hours, in which both have to deal with several important issues and eventually learn that your children come first. Oh, and that love is just around the corner. This is a wonderfully fun movie, with a witty dialogue and talented cast.

This movie is one that as soon as the end credits start rolling, yoiu can rewind it and watch again. That's exactly what I did. It was one of the best movies that I have ever seen. It is so cute, and sometimes leaves you with your heart almost torn into two because you feel so sorry for the little boy. I love this movie, and wish everoyne could watch it. Pfeiffer is a great actress and played an excellent characted in One Fine Day

its really a good movie for all ages! i have seen this movie so many times and it just gets better everytime i watch it!

My wife and I really wanted to like this movie. We've enjoyed many movies of this style and like both of the stars but we were only able to gut it out for 30 minutes and then bailed. I can count on one hand the number of times that we've done that in the last 40 years. I think it deserved 2.5 stars but since we only watched 30 minutes I rounded up. Why didn't it work? All the humor seemed predictable, overly contrived and annouying. But, I hope Clooney tries this type of story again because he's proven he can do more than just action movies.

After seeing this film you will never want to raise children in Manhattan. Perhaps I missed the point but instead of romance I saw drug-abusing children, unsafe day cares and irresponsible parents more concerned with getting it on than raising their kids.

I saw this movie in the theater a few years ago, and I came out singing and just so happy. I love George Clooney and Michelle Pfifer - both excellent actors. This is a keeper!

This is old-fashioned cinema at its best: Charming leading man and beautiful leading lady meet in plausible yet impossible circumstances, only to fall deeply in love, despite efforts to the contrary on both parts. The casting is superb, the cinematography just right, and the writing excellent. This is romantic comedy at its finest.
If, however, you have a child under age 6, have a full-time job, and/or are single, this movie takes on a whole new level. I loved this movie for a long time before I became a working mom, now I identify with this movie. What was so artistically superior is now so amazingly realistic. Perhaps that is its brilliance: it works on many levels.
There is one scene in which the children need on-the-spot costumes for superhero day at day care and Pfeiffer's character reaches in her tote and proceeds to dress two preschoolers in ad hoc superhero duds. Upon seeing this, Clooney's character remarks that he needs a bag like that. It is a hilarious scene, but to a mom, an oh-so-real one.
This is one to buy.

That's right. This movie makes me absolutely sick like most romantic comedies or whatever you want to call them. Believe me you could be doing more constructive things like spending time with your kids or running errands. I would rather be working than watch such garbage again. The movie was so rushed and pointless...I mean who cares? Two people meet and fall in love in one day, big deal.

I have to say that this movie is one of the the best romantic movies evr made not just in the 90's but in the movie history. The story is simple and uncomplicated that makes the movie great, because it could possibly happen to anyone. Michelle and George are perfetly cast, both oozing megawatt charisma. It's impossible to hate the two. I think their pairing is one of the best. Michelle has never been so likable and i think is a must see to all her fans. Part of the greatness of this film is the charming prescence of the 2 kids, they are awesome. Bottom line: I guarantee you that you'll enjoy this movie, whether watch it alone or with someone. And it still works with repeated viewing!!!!

I must admit that I enjoyed this movie far more than I expected to. I gave it a shot because it is a (female) friend of mine's favorite movie and I have come to seriously enjoy Clooney's movies, and as far as romantic comedies go this is one of the best I've seen in recent years. There are certain parts that seem silly and forced (like the Clooney subplot mentioned in the amazon.com review), but Clooney and Pfeiffer pull off their characters with enough charm and realism that any problems you may have with the logic of the story can be forgiven. If you and your girlfriend/wife are looking for something you will both enjoy then this movie will fit the bill.
