I do have a soft spot for rom-coms and this is almost as good as it gets, but ill let other fans can tell you about all that. I just wanted to share with you how impressed I was at the acting skills of the young Mae Whitman who plays the daughter, Maggie Taylor. I didn't realise kids could act so well; she really did make it feel real. She's great in all her scenes, but what got me most was the kitten scene.

i think this movie begs the question...as an audience...i've always wondered what happened the next day when Jack & Mel got up from the couch and smelled the coffee.... other questions that bugged me are : 1) so did Mel finally break off with Eddie ? 2) did Jack finally put up with his kid at his apartment on a permanent basis? (who took care of the cat?) 3) what about the Mob "this-garbage-thing-stinks" story arc? 4) did Mel get to keep her job or did she really quit? Please do a sequel... "Another Fine Day (10 years after)" perhaps... the storyline could focus on the kids who are teenagers by now...having a day as well... haha!

With both Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney, how bad could it be? The plot line is nice - spanning a day in the life of two single parents with child-care problems. The result's fairly obvious, although I won't spoil the ending. This isn't a Casablanca, or a Gone With The Wind or any other classic movie, but it's a nice, sweet, well produced romance with enough about it to stop you being bored. Pfeiffer and Clooney have enough chemistry to seem realistic, and the children are very sweet. Buy a tub of ice-cream, turn the lights down and watch it in your PJs.

A real feat of Hollywood film making: the story was predictable and yet the characters were unbelievable. I watched this with my wife cuddled up on the sofa, so a romantic story was the right type of film for the occasion. Even under these circumstances we found it dull. Is it over yet was the frequent comment. Making a film as a romantic comedy is no excuse for not having a story line, or having a story that is so predictable as this one. A shame for George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer that they got involved in a project like this. We did enjoy Dracula though.

I caught this film on television while I had the flu. It was much worse than I had even imagined. Entirely unbelievable, specious, lack-luster love story day in the life. Ungainly in it's editing and camera placement, OFD drags you through upscale New York... and you don't even drool and enjoy it. Dreadful costumes... everyone in some dead brown, or unattractive, mismatched coats/dress/suit.With an anti-semitic turn by Ellen Greene as vulgar, conniving wife of corrupt NYC official named Leiberman; and less than a spark of warmth between MP and GC... avoid renting it. George seemed engrossed in his thoughts about another movie and Michelle seemed less than fresh, more like his mother's younger sister. Their little kids were predictable and held their "cute" expression for too long. Please include a kitten, a soccer game, and sundaes at Serendipity as the only stand-ins for charm or reality. They seemed to hate the ice cream, actually. A rushed, sloppy production. Graceless.

I hadn't seen this film in quite some time and suddenly it came on earlier today, this was a brilliant script with perfectly timed insults( loved the balls in my face reference, repeatedly) Clooney and Pfeiffer have wonderful chemistry and their kids are not only adorable, but really funny, solid supporting roles for Holland Taylor, Charles Durning and Robert Klein, to steal a line, restores my faith in humanity, a must watch for Valentines Day!!

This is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I saw this movie when it came out with my mom (we're both Michelle and George fans) and it's become one of my "feel good" movies, along with Sleepless in Seattle and Amelie. The film is great, with great performances, cinematography and music. It's the kind of movie that makes you feel good. I love all the things that keep happening throughout the course of the day and how Michelle keeps getting on her clothes! It's a bit like Pride and Prejudice with the dislike and banter the two lead characters. A real winner with charm and wit, that's a guaranteed smile-maker! One of the best films of 1996 and if you haven't seen it, what the heck are you waiting for?
