One Fine Day (1996)

One fine day, a man and a woman meet. At first, they dislike each other only to "like" each other very much, a few hours later. However, these aren't two single people as you usually see them in romantic comedies. Luckily for these characters, they are both recently divorced and have a child each. I think, this is a great package. Sure, they come with some emotional baggage. But, at least, they've learnt a thing or two from a previous marriage and are less likely to commit the same mistakes. Right?

Why is it that female protagonists are almost always written to be control freaks and men are depicted as carefree and childlike? Because, it is true? But, is this how couples always are in relationships? Opposites of each other, at least in certain matters? Anyway, I think this polar difference is quite annoying if you have to live with it. Why did God bring men from Mars and women from Venus? Why!
Coming back to the movie, it's a fine romantic comedy. Michelle Pfeiffer is beautiful and Clooney is extremely charming. I'd seen this movie a long time ago. But, I saw it through experienced eyes recently and hence, the review of this 1996 movie. If you haven't seen it before or if you are hunting for a virtual romance, try this one.
