One Fine Day

They say when you fall in love that everything the other person says is funny and charming. The script of One Fine Day wouldn't do much to stand out just on paper, but in the hands of George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer and their good chemistry, it makes everything feel genuine and clever. The film is a true dedication to a classic romantic comedy of the 1930s or 40s. Usually when moden films try to ressurect old genres, I am annoyed. Either they replicate the qualities of the genre in the wrong note or they try to lift the genre to hold large dramatic comments that were never intentioned for the style. Million Dollar Baby was that exact failure in the latter department but One Fine Day hits every right note in what is usually a problem in the former department. It is easy for a guy to say they like this movie and blush. It's another thing for them to watch it and private and blush at the moments they care about. I do that for this movie. It's a small, but good accomplishment.
