One Fine Day
Life is very hard for Francois Berthier: a dog howls all night and keeps him awake, the coffee machine explodes in his face, it is raining, the head clerk in the bank where he works humiliates him and threatens to sack him. And then, overnight, everything that was violent or painful for Francois is miraculously transformed: the dog no longer howls, the coffee machine makes a delicious espresso, the weather is perfect, the head clerk at the bank apologises for having lost his temper the previous day. Why has the world suddenly become so sweet and enchanting? That is the enigma that Francois will try to solve.

George Clooney finds a big-screen outlet for the charming rogue persona he perfected in the TV hospital drama ER, in this warm-hearted but underwritten romantic comedy. He stars as a newspaper reporter saddled with parental responsibilities when he's forced to look after his five-year-old daughter while his ex-wife is on honeymoon. Into his life comes Michelle Pfeiffer, who's struggling to hold down a job and bring up a child, and the couple reluctantly agree to help each other out — only to find that what can go wrong naturally does. Clooney, Pfeiffer and Mae Whitman (as Clooney's daughter) are suitably charming, but they are all let down by a very bratty and irritating performance from Alex D Linz (of Home Alone 3 fame) as Pfeiffer's hideous son, and some uninspired direction from Michael Hoffman.

"ONE FINE DAY is a pretty ideal baby-boomer romantic comedy. Made with the right breezy insouciance and performed with consummate flair and sexy star allure by Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney..."

Ladies - wanna a feel good factor?
This film is a real girly film, yummy George Clooney playing the busy career type / single father who hasn't had a girlfirend in ages - he's a bit of a lad, he then bumps into the feminist single mom played by Michelle Pfeiffer and 'One Fine Day' it certainly is. The story is played out in one day and ends up with two of them snuggling up on the couch together..... I personally would have liked the movie to play out the intimacy of the two a little more (the film ends quite abruptly after them kissing)... but I suppose that was just a natural reaction for more.... on that basis a sequel would be great............. maybe 'One Fine Year' or something were they end up getting married (of course)... OK I'm getting a little carried away. All in all a good rental for the girls.

Back in 1997, George Clooney was still a TV heartthrob first, a movie star second. He had just made a $100 million blockbuster - Batman & Robin - but he knew it sucked. He headlined a couple of competent A-list pictures, One Fine Day and The Peacemaker, but neither of them was better than average. 'I was being held to a higher yardstick, and I realised I better hold myself to a higher standard,' he said, looking back. ound this time, the director Steven Soderbergh was in a deep funk.
