Summary: I can't help myself
Review: Yeah the other amateur reviewers loved this movie but it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The love story is ridiculous- I would like to see an ending scene like Animal House in which the movie says what happens next. In this case it would say the two dated for a few months and then broke up after realizing the other was exactly like their ex-spouse. Good parenting is portrayed as giving a child exactly what the child wants. Another example of the portrayal of "good parenting": A six year old girl wanders out of a store and down the streets of New York following a cat. When she is found Dad's not mad, he gets her a kitten. I have a six year old, he is not mature for his age and I am not very strict but I cannot imagine that he would do this. If he did my reaction would not be to get him a kitten. Another example of exemplary parenting: After his daughter has gone to bed on a school night Dad gets her up and goes off to see Mom on a pretext of returning some fish from the school. Why he does this is unknown as he has the fishbowl and could simply bring it to school the next morning. Anyway, Mom gets the son up and the kids are plopped on the bed to watch a two hour movie (The Wizard of Oz) so our romantic leads can be alone. The story involving George Clooney's job is so unbelievable that the movie is almost worth watching for laughs. This one is on my top ten list of worst movies ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Relaxful kind of movie
Review: I love this movie. When it first came out, I thought it was great - but I was only 15 - I didn't understand it really, so it wasn't as great as I think it is now. Actually, I totally forgot it existed until a few months ago when I went to Blockbuster and there was nothing there to rent - I saw "One Fine Day" and took it home - I watched it and was surprised that I'd forgotten more than half the plot, which was good - it was like watching a movie I had never seen before. It was great understanding the movie - the subtle flirtation between Clooney and Pfeiffer, the role of the kids in their relationship, and looks on Clooney's face when he sees Pfeiffer walk into the 9th Street Drop-In Center. The movie is timeless - the plot is a little cheesy, but I love it - I've watched it so many more times cause I think it's just great. By the way... as a 15-year-old, you don't realize how subtly hot Clooney is until the second time around.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fun, romantic and cute!
Review: If you are looking for a fun romance, look no further. Besides Sleepless in Seattle, this is one of my favorites.

I think Michelle Pfeiffer was great in her role, George Clooney just adds to the appeal!

This is a story about two single parents who are unlikely candidates for a romantic relationship. They end up needing to rely on each other and develop a relationship while trying to take care of their young children and keep their careers on track.

Summary: Day like this: Woof. Boy fron NYC: Mrroww.
Review: Yeah, Momma said there'd be days like this. What she didn't say was that anyone would ever want to film one of them. This movie is a drag. Painstakingly slow and "sweet", it almost puts you to sleep while taking a long and pristinely pure route to the budding romance between Pfeiffer and Clooney. This is the type of movie best suited to actresses like Meg Ryan, not to serious and generally talented people such as Pfeiffer.

All that said, why then did I give it 3 stars, let alone 1? Well, I'd give it 2 1/2 actually...but Amazon does not have that option. So I gave it the benefit of the doubt - it was, after all, two bucks.

The reasons behind the stars: The occasional humor was, if stupid in places, hilarious. I am a melter for any cats in a movie, and there were some very sweet ones here. Lest you think me strange - if I love cats why not the movie? - the other reason to give this anything was - of course, the same reason I rented it in the first place - George Clooney. Reprising his role in ER, he shows us the picture of a bohemian writer who is not exactly businesslike in either work or child care. Why this is supposed to be negative, I don't know - many of us children of the flower children grew up similarily and I don't see the problem. Hey, we'll put the guns down. :>

Yeah, Clooney has bedroom eyes and a good voice, the cats are darling, the humor is pretty good, but unless those reasons appeal to you, don't bother. There are many better movies out there - if you're looking for a sweet screwball romance, try Benny & Joon. That was a work of art, not of spun sugar.

But, hey, it's your world - have fun. :)

Summary: One Fine Movie
Review: I thought this movie was just great - it's a great movie to kick back on the couch to with a giant bowl of popcorn and just relax. No matter what anyone says about the kids and how annoying they become, I think they are adorable - It's very funny and times and always seems to put a smile on my face. I could watch this movie a thousand times over and never get tired of it - I love it!

Rating: 3 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A New York City Fairytale.
Review: I loved watching the ongoing tension between Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney turn to attraction. I loved spotting the NYC locations, as the film was made in NYC. If have never been to NYC this movie will show you several sites, not of monuments which you can see in other movies and books, but classic shops and neighborhoods. Sure, Pfieffer's son becomes annoying if you have watched the movie was often as I (about 10 times), but Clooney's daughter remains cute. Clooney remains cute also.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Breezy plotline. Good acting
Review: George Clooney is not so much an actor as a personality but it's a winning personality and one that you know Michelle Pfeiffer will fall for by the end of the movie. Getting there is a fun little rollercoaster ride as both characters must deal with their conflicting schedules, jobs and children throughout one of the busiest days of their life.

This movie is mostly a love story between the director and New York City, especially the breathless lifestyle (kind of hard to believe that either character will have any time for each other AFTER the movie is over, but who cares?)

Sweet, unpretentious fun. This movie makes a nice gift and something that you can watch when you are feeling bored or depressed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cute and romantic
Review: This movie was plain cute. It's rare to see a light-hearted movie where the whole family can enjoy where instead of two teenagers finding romance, it's two parents. Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney were great together. It seemed like they had a lot of fun being in the movie together.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Great Feel-Good Movie
Review: I think I must have been one of the 2 or 3 people in the country who hadn't seen ER when I first caught this movie on one of the premium movie channels. I wasn't a major George Clooney fan--it's not that I didn't like him, I just didn't know much about him.

All of that changed after seeing this movie. I hadn't even been looking for it. I was just channel surfing one Saturday afternoon and caught it by accident. However, the other 99 times I've watched the movie have been quite on purpose, thank you!

Granted, it's not the most intricate of plots, but it is very well acted by 4 gifted professionals. Clooney and Pfeiffer as the single parents are quite believable and endearing, and the 2 kids are very skilled, even at their young ages. The movie has some of that Cary Grant/Jimmy Stewart sort of charm and the approach/avoidance of the developing love affair between the two parents is engaging. By the time George Clooney finally plants a kiss on Michelle Pfeiffer's lips, my toes were curling!

If you want a movie that will leave you with a little smile on your face, you can't go wrong with this one.
