Simply Perfect

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

As a person who is fond of Anne Hathaway , i thought that i would like this movie whatever it was talking about.But once i watched the first 20-30 minutes, i recognized that it was talking about something different, about something deeper which is going on in our whole life.the movie is talking about falling in love .. but not just that, it's shows what happens to you after you fall in love .. instead of expressing your love and let it out, and show the one you loved how much you appreciate him/her.You start to get confused, ask yourself question that has nothing to do except complicating your life.and the real question which appears from the first hour is why, why we get confused in love, why we can't deal with our relations as easy as we deal with any thing in our life, why when it get to love it becomes so that difficult.the last thing we can say that this movie tried to say ... you have to be responsible for your choices but remember you have only one love to live.

After graduation, two teenagers with different mentality and character spend the night together and decide to remain friends afterwards. Furthermore, they manage to see each other every year on a specific day, the day they spent together. We follow their lives throughout the next 20 years, on that exact day, how they evolve as differently as the characters' personality is, and what they do to survive in the harsh world, separated.It's a movie which has an interesting premise which it tries to elaborate and build the whole action on it, but unfortunately fails to create something interesting, something that may keep the viewer interested throughout the entire length. Instead, was resulted was a series of boring, almost ordinary events, which were almost predictable and which lead to an unexpected but also unsatisfying finale. Yes, it has good characters and good actor performance, but what happens with them isn't interesting in almost any way. You definitely don't get to care or feel something for the characters, fact which is a big letdown for such a movie.It's really something "meh", something you can easily miss and won't actually lose anything from not seeing it. Too bad for the main idea which seemed like a strong foundation for such a movie.

The book upon which this movie is based was mediocre - easy to read, but nothing special. This movie is even less interesting, partly as a result of the casting choices. There's nothing horrible about it, but it's just not very good. Baby-faced Jim Sturgess was a poor choice for a movie that follows two friends/maybe lovebirds over the course of a decade. He has charm, but lacks gravitas, and the make-up artists could not figure out how to age him appropriately. Anne Hathaway, while always likable, had trouble mastering whatever British accent she was going for. Presumably she was cast because they'd rather have a big name than find an appropriate Brit for the role. Stronger actors could have made a big difference for the lackluster script. However, the biggest issue was the story and the pacing. Scenes kept cutting off before any emotional connection could be made and the overall plot did not seem to be building toward any big moments. Moments that should have been capitalized on were rushed or thrown aside too quickly. It all seemed random and insignificant. The actors didn't seem connected to their roles, which made it hard for viewers to do so. Overall, it was fine, but ultimately unsatisfying.

One Day will fulfill all your chick-flick needs. This British romantic comedy does a great job at hitting all the stereotypes and will leave you laughing, crying, and conflicted. This film uses unique filters, interesting camera angles, and well-known actors to cover up the lack-luster plot line. One Day is a romantic comedy that follows the lives of two friends who are flirting on the line of a relationship. Emma, the nerdy female love interest played by Anne Hathaway, finds herself in bed with Dexter, a handsome male played by Jim Sturgess, which quickly turns south and they decide to be friends instead. The film follows the two almost-lovers as the progress through the ups and downs of life while attempting to maintain their friendship. The stereotypical plot shows both friends date the wrong people at different times with their timelines frustratingly never quite matching up. The Director adds a blueish gray filter periodically throughout the film to emphasize the gloomy content of various scenes. While this technique works well for tragic scenes, it gives an off-kilter feeling for scenes that would otherwise be cute and romantic. This filter may aide the film in taking your emotions on a roller coaster ride – as you might expect from a romance movie – but upon closer examination, the filter seems overdone and out of place. The well-known Anne Hathaway's acting turned out to be subpar and was overshadowed by her co-star, Jim Sturgess. The chemistry seemed to be lacking between the couple and only seemed to pick up when Jim incorporated that knowing stare that can only be given to someone you truly love. The accents seemed to waver as the years go on and it was difficult to tell if this was intentional or a slip in the acting. When the accents were present, they sounded forced and annoying, but is it even a rom-com if the male lead doesn't have a sexy accent? The flirting and awkward moments between the two friends aren't quirky and unique, they are overused and expected. The film included an awkward encounter between Dexter's wealthy parents and Emma that has been seen in every romantic comedy done before this one. The aesthetic seemed a tad off as the film progressed through the years. The clothing only had minimal changes as they covered a time span of almost 30 years. If it wasn't for the text telling you what year it was, it would be difficult to differentiate between the progression of time and flashbacks. One Day is the perfect film to watch when you just want to see a predictable love story. The story line isn't original, but it touches on everything that makes a romantic comedy such a popular genre. This film will have you crying and laughing as you reminisce on relationships that could have been, but in the end you will be lacking the feeling of love. The film is missing a sense of plausibility that makes it difficult to relate to and will therefore not be your favorite movie, but may be good enough to occasionally snuggle-up under the covers to watch.
