One Fine Day is two formulaic hours, but they do illustrate how two attractive leads and a lickety-split narrative can elevate meager material into something this side of bearability.

Privilege and coincidence have always been central to screwball comedy, but the speed of crosstown travel here rivals Die Hard 3 for plausibility.

Remarkable chemistry between the impossibly glamorous pair of Pfeiffer and Clooney.

Excellent romantic comedy. Exciting story of adults trying to succeed in careers with the drawbacks of children.

Silky smooth romantic comedy, with Pfieffer and Clooney at their most charming.

A very clich�d love story about two unlikable people who are miserable. This film belongs in the 1950's, even then it would fail because there was much better out there!
