She was having a perfectly bad day... then he came along and spoiled it.
Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) is a career woman, single parent and control freak. Jack Taylor (George Clooney) is a hard-driving newspaper columnist, weekend dad and Peter Pan. When they are inadvertently thrown together for one chaotic day the only thing they have in common are identical mobile phones.

Sorry mate, but Shakespeare this ain't.
Remember all those awful romantic comedies from the 80s? Well here's another one only it was made in the 90s so everyone has a mobile phone.
Being a sexist patriarchal pig I am free to say that One fine day is a Chick Flick. Chicks will flock to see George (isn't he gorgeous?!) and Michelle (isn't she gorgeous?!) doing the boy meets girl thang. At the end they will feel warm and fuzzy, which may be a good time for the bloke who has had to sit through this to take advantage of them (What else are women for?) but he should be prepared for questions like "Where is this relationship going?"
Don't worry that I have given away any plot secrets because there aren't any. You know what's going to happen but you weren't going to see this flick for it's thriller shock value, were you?
Congratulations to the crew on making the film look like it was shot on one rainy day in New York, which it wasn't. The opening sequence is interesting, too, but not surprising.
Big smack on hand and go to room for the continuity errors, especially in positioning talent and camera for reverse shots. It's called cheating because no-one is supposed to know you did it, folks.
