Not all romantic comedies are created equal!
I would probably never decide to watch this film, had it not been for my wife who rented the DVD. Just like many others, I expect romantic comedies to be all the same – usually terribly unrealistic (talk about suspension of disbelief!) as in the Pretty Woman, and the humor to be 3rd grade.But, One Fine Day, surprised me in many ways! First, it is not “I need insulin right now!” sweet. Also it is surprisingly relevant for today’s world, and not targeted at teeny boppers.
One Fine Day is a film with a very smart script, funny dialogues, beautiful acting, directing, and it all gels well together. Most of the moviegoers today expect blood, gore, darkness of warped minds, and it seems that films which don’t have that have a hard time getting a good review. It is time we step back, and enjoy some of the subtleties of life and people, and laugh at ourselves, when it’s all presented in a believable and funny way.
The film takes us through “one fine day” of a single mother and her son, and a single father and his daughter. Due to his error, they miss their kids field trip and are, reluctantly, helping each other out take care of kids. While he obviously likes her but has a problem with trusting again, and a questionable flirting tactics, she is more obviously shell shocked and uses every opportunity to put him down. In a single day they both go through so many humbling episodes that the relationship develops from “I already have an opinion about you…” and “So do I…” to “I’ll help you out if you say: ‘Be my knight in shining armor…'”
The control freak named Melanie and played wonderfully by Michelle Pfeiffer, manages to stay likable even though she “beats every miserable bastard that comes her way to pulp”. George Clooney has an easier time being liked as he is his pretty much usual self, and that’s exactly what the character requires. Both kids were much better then I would normally expect them to be; I am always put off by artificial adult gestures and “too cool for you” acting of today’s kids in Hollywood films, and expected that this time it would be the same, but it was not.
The humor in this film is subtle, and you may actually miss it altogether if you expect things to blow in your face. I loved those brief encounters between Melanie (Pfeiffer) and Celia (Amanda Peet) in which a beautiful perfectionist with a heart (Pfeiffer) meets her less polite match… Amanda Peet was also fantastic! Just notice how Pfeiffer’s facial expression changes when she realizes who she’s talking to. Another one to watch and enjoy is the episode with Melanie’s boss.
Also, this film can be watched more then once, as there is a lot to appreciate about it.
ps. A scene at the shrink’s office made me laugh like never before!
