JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")
There was a reason that I skipped this movie in the theatres, and it has everything to do with what I like to refer to as "the Nora Ephron syndrome". Slap a couple of big name stars in a "romantic comedy" vehicle with a very THIN storyline, add a dash ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")

Remarkable chemistry between the impossibly glamorous pair of Pfeiffer and Clooney. ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at Mr. Brown's Movies (Michael Dequina)

Parent Previews
The ending drags out to a predictable conclusion, and we get to see Pfeiffer in her underwear for a second time. Cut the ending down to size, drop a few unneeded profanities, add those shoobie-shoobies back into the title theme and One Fine ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at Parent Previews

One Fine Day has all the ingredients of an enjoyable romantic comedy: a decent premise, likable leads, and a solid supporting cast. The problem is, instead of throwing the two main characters together and giving them an opportunity to get to know one anot ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
One Fine Day has a few enchanting moments, such as a scene where Jack sweeps Melanie
off her feet (literally), then splashes around in a large puddle of water. However, as a romantic
comedy, this is a spotty affair because it's not ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
The formula is a familiar one: two people meet, fall in love, and spend the rest of the picture pretending they don't feel that way. In the bustling, big-city romantic comedy ONE FINE DAY, those two are Michelle Pfieffer and George Clooney. They play a ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J.

Cinematter (Matt Williams)
A formulaic romantic comedy is helped along by the good chemistry of its stars. Michelle Pfeiffer stars as Melanie Parker, a working single mother, a control-freak with an uncontrollable son, Sammy (Alex D. Linz). George Clooney is Jack Taylor, a single ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at Cinematter (Matt Williams)
Scott Renshaw
If the idea of ONE FINE DAY is simply to show us how tough single parents have it, then I suppose it does its job. Both Jack and Melanie lose and refind the children with some regularity, both are forced to make compromises and both find that working ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at Scott Renshaw
Boxoffice Magazine
"I have a dark chocolate layer," says curmudgeonly newspaper columnist Jack Taylor ("From Dusk Till Dawn's" George Clooney) to his psychiatrist. And why shouldn't he feel dark: his ex-wife is off a new honeymoon, he's left to uncomfortably care for ...read the complete One Fine Day movie review at Boxoffice Magazine
