Marie Morgan A very poor rip off - David Nicholls must have thought he could do it better than those old people in 1978. Really just the two boring characters who cannot carry a two-character movie. The man always drunk and sleeping around, Anne Hathaway looking relentlessly nerdy and inept with a TERRIBLE British accent. I found myself fast forwarding to each new year to see if anything changed. Nope. Of course, the end is the premise of the movie - that they eventually find true love (and perhaps some STD's) - so why bother? I currently have another Nicholls movie - another reboot - this time Far From the Madding Crowd. I'm not going to watch and ruin my memory of the gorgeous Julie Christie version of the 60's.
namashi_1 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.
Dave This is a romantic drama film in which Dexter (played by Jim Sturgess) and Emma (played by Anne Hathaway) are shown on 15 July on each year. The problem with only showing the characters on one day per year is that it's incomplete and the change in the characters isn't sufficiently explained. This film is like an inferior remake of When Harry Met Sally - minus the humour and with an unhappy ending.The two aren't suited as a couple or as friends - and the attraction between them isn't believable. Neither of the main two characters are likable, so we can't root for them - or care when she is killed.Anne Hathaway's character, and her many changes in appearance and voice, aren't believable. Her accent is all over the place. In some scenes, her accent changes mid-sentence!
Kirpianuscus romanticism. humor. slices of drama. meetings. and the same July 15Emma and Dexter. the seed of graduation and the passing years. and the inspired performance of Jim Sturgess in a film who seams ignore the characters. because One Day is only chronicle of a relation. the characters are only silhouettes who the public must imagine. the story is nice and seductive and emotional but not always coherent. or credible. something missing. and it is not exactly a small detail. because on the screen is presented a growing up relation . but the subject is far to be original and the end reminds too many similar. I admit, I have not read the book. and this does to supposed that the film is just a part of the industry around a popular literary success.but it is not a sin. because it is a nice story of a relation, better then many contemporary romantic films.
