Watch One Day For Free

Sadly Over-hyped

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Movies based on novels are usually different and can be difficult in keeping up with the source material. Not having read about the original novel or knowing anything about the material, opinion is based upon the film solely. One Day is quite similar to the Notebook in some sense but overall the film does do a good job at appealing to its demographic. The acting is decent but overall, as with many romantic comedies. Anne Hathway is likable as usually but Jim Sturgess character appears to be less (although he becomes better as the film passes). One Day is quite predictable at certain points. The completely ending and final scenes were most so different than expecting and not predictable though he story as a whole.One Day also somewhat reminded of (500) Days of Summer but that film as a whole was more complete in almost every aspect, as likable characters, plot, humor and overall engagement. Overall, One Day is just somewhat depressing in the end and not in a touching way.

i thought this was just a plain romantic movie with a boring plot, tho it almost sounds like that... but mostly it was very fresh to me and really interesting... it simply so realistic and magical with so much touch of feelings...I've watched this for three times and yet never bored to amaze me

I admit I have a soft spot for romantic films, and One Day didn't disappoint too much for me.Dexter and Emma meet in July 1988 after graduating from Edinburgh University, and over the course of the rest of the film we go through 20 years of what they're doing together, or separately on the 15th July each year. Early on in the film Emma is kind of mousy but nice whereas Dexter is kind of smarmy but with charm. Dexter's life is almost immediately successful after graduation whereas Emma struggles, and doesn't achieve her career goals right away. Both characters develop out of their more negative personality traits as the film progresses.Both leads are pretty good with the material given to them. Anne Hathaway's accent isn't brilliant as other reviewers have mentioned, but it wasn't too distracting for me. Jim Sturgess' accent goes all over the place too and he is British! I'm guessing he's supposed to posses a posh Anglo-Scots accent.. The ageing process through makeup/hair etc. works mostly although I did find Jim Sturgess' ginger beard and grey hair aged about 45 a bit distracting and very unnatural looking - not a good job by the hair and makeup artists there!Anyway, the film looks really good, very well shot with a use of colours to convey the mood and emotion of Emma and Dexter at that particular time in their lives. Other characters come in and out of Dexter and Emma's lives throughout which adds some depth to the story. I found myself rooting for the leads mostly, and although I've not read the book I had kind of worked out what would happen by the end but when it comes it is a bit of a shock. The grief and sadness after this are very well portrayed I think. Overall I enjoyed One Day. It isn't without flaws, and I think the one-day aspect of the story actually doesn't help as you never feel completely involved or connected with anything happening. Perhaps it works better in the book than it does in a 90 minute movie.

It's a love story that slowly tells itself and shows the personal development of the characters. The scenes were well chosen, but the characters were shallow. They had this British typical inability to deal with emotional stuff though; however, it only meant over two hours of agony. The characters evolved normally. No ridiculous stuff. Still not recommended. No real plot twists that were surprising. The beautiful scenery and authentic decors are not enough to make a movie worth watching for more than 2 hours. The end was no surprise to me at least. The movie got me bored at middle the night, at a hospital, with nothing else to do. Watching commercials could have been more fresh.
