One Day (2011)

Let's be realistic.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Boring

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

For any Romantic film the aim is to be heartfelt & emotionally charged, but 'One Day' has neither. This film, in fact, is a soulless experience. Good Acting is the only redeeming factor.'One Day' Synopsis: After spending the night together on the night of their college graduation Dexter and Em are shown each year on the same date to see where they are in their lives. They are sometimes together, sometimes not, on that day.'One Day' has an interesting, ambitious idea, but David Nicholls's Screenplay, which is from his eponymous 2009 novel, is too busy to make you feel for its protagonists. The Writing never lets you settle in or give you the time to connect with the characters emotionally. Its all hurried & rushes in a neck-breaking speed. Lone Scherfig's Direction is strictly okay.Performance-Wise: Anne Hathaway & Jim Sturgess make 'One Day' watchable with their performances. Despite weak Writing, both of the talented actors commit themselves into their parts & perform exceedingly well. Rafe Spall is first-rate.On the whole, 'One Day' doesn't work.

As a person who is fond of Anne Hathaway , i thought that i would like this movie whatever it was talking about.But once i watched the first 20-30 minutes, i recognized that it was talking about something different, about something deeper which is going on in our whole life.the movie is talking about falling in love .. but not just that, it's shows what happens to you after you fall in love .. instead of expressing your love and let it out, and show the one you loved how much you appreciate him/her.You start to get confused, ask yourself question that has nothing to do except complicating your life.and the real question which appears from the first hour is why, why we get confused in love, why we can't deal with our relations as easy as we deal with any thing in our life, why when it get to love it becomes so that difficult.the last thing we can say that this movie tried to say ... you have to be responsible for your choices but remember you have only one love to live.

I grew up in the UK during the 90's so this film always triggers my memory of my most formative years. Everything from the music, scenery and style. My sister even went to Winchester! To judge the film for its content; I found the characters complicated and throughout the years should have just remained friends but it is presented so well. They were each others constant; through the years, the other relationships, the failed careers and successes. They grow up at different times though so its as if their true love takes a lifetime to be revealed. Anne Hathaway is great in this and her accent is bearable. Love that the film takes you through the decades! Definitely worth watching as it's very unique.

I didn't read the book just Roger Ebert's review and decided to give it a shot. It's not too much surprised until the death coming upon us which I did not like at all. It somehow fell into the stereotype. But I could see it might suit the younger crowd. We were all young once. I did feel the lead male actor did a good job. The idea of the storyline was inspiring, but the plot fell short. I wish the plot wasn't surrounding their drinking and sexual encounters instead of intellectual conversation would be nice. I love Jane Austen's stories. They portrayed love relationship, not just in physical but also spiritual attraction. Maybe I am old.
