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.

I grew up in the UK during the 90's so this film always triggers my memory of my most formative years. Everything from the music, scenery and style. My sister even went to Winchester! To judge the film for its content; I found the characters complicated and throughout the years should have just remained friends but it is presented so well. They were each others constant; through the years, the other relationships, the failed careers and successes. They grow up at different times though so its as if their true love takes a lifetime to be revealed. Anne Hathaway is great in this and her accent is bearable. Love that the film takes you through the decades! Definitely worth watching as it's very unique.

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. The Problem with One Day is that it's an awkward movie i mean the film starts around the 80's and keeps going 1991, 1994, 1997, 2003 and goes on and on and none of the leading actors have aged not one bit it's like they're Wolverine or something the chemistry is there but it falls short and flat and so does the drama but overall is an alright good looking film that won't bring anything new to this drop dread love story genre i'm going to give One Day a 7 out of 10 it was an enjoyable film nothing more.

I didn't read the book just Roger Ebert's review and decided to give it a shot. It's not too much surprised until the death coming upon us which I did not like at all. It somehow fell into the stereotype. But I could see it might suit the younger crowd. We were all young once. I did feel the lead male actor did a good job. The idea of the storyline was inspiring, but the plot fell short. I wish the plot wasn't surrounding their drinking and sexual encounters instead of intellectual conversation would be nice. I love Jane Austen's stories. They portrayed love relationship, not just in physical but also spiritual attraction. Maybe I am old.
