Python Hyena One Fine Day (1996): Dir: Michael Hoffman / Cast: George Clooney, Michelle Pfeiffer, Mae Whitman, Alex D. Linz, Charles Durning: Romantic comedy about single parents raising children while struggling to maintain a job. Title suggests chance centering around George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer who dislike each other but must rely on each other when their children miss a field trip. They are both too busy so they work out a schedule where she gets to her big meeting and he conducts an important interview. As predicted they grow romantically linked and form a mutual respect. Director Michael Hoffman gives the film a subtle feel, which is fine except that the screenplay is a bore. Clooney and Pfeiffer are charming and are pretty much the only saving element to this film. They mirror parents that are frustrated and overworked but supporting roles are flat. Mae Whitman and Alex D. Linz play the two children who will be more trouble than needed. Linz in particular jams marbles up his nose. It regards balance and taking time to appreciate the important things. The screenwriter clearly lacked balance and hardly appreciated the important things such as a screenplay that rises above toilet paper potential. It is not very demanding in terms of look, and it has all the energy of a bad sitcom. In the end it is presented just like the work schedules featured here; routine and time consuming. Score: 5 / 10

SnoopyStyle Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) is an architect and mother of Sammy (Alex D. Linz). Jack Taylor (George Clooney) is a newspaper columnist and father of Maggie (Mae Whitman). They are both extremely busy divorcées, late for their kids' school field trip, and forced to babysit their kids for the day around their busy schedules.These are two of the sexiest people in the world. It should be an easy matter to make a hot rom-com out of this. But this is a struggle. The scheduling problem reminds me of driving carpool and kids' baseball practice. And there aren't any big laughs. I think the biggest problem is that neither are great comedic actors. The humor is pretty much all the same. The kids cause problems for the parents, and they struggle to keep going with their hectic day. It's all very cute. The comedy is passable.On the other hand, the romance doesn't get enough of a chance. They are separated for too much of the movie. I'm surprised they had time for romance with their busy day. The kids have more chemistry. The chemistry between the adults seems much more manufactured. I guess all rom-coms are manufactured. I just don't want it to feel like it.

eliza andrews Let's face it. There are several times during our everyday lives when we just need to...RELAX.In other words, we just need to de-compress,to spend some free time watching a funny,optimistic movie and escape from our anxieties and our problems even for a couple of hours. Well..."One Fine Day" fulfills this target perfectly. It's a really nice film, the story is simple and funny(similar to a screwball comedy),the lines are clever and the two stars ,Pfeiffer and Clooney,are very good at their roles. More precisely,they both play two single parents who are forced,due to the fact that their kids miss the school trip,to cooperate and spend almost an entire day together in order to compromise their demanding schedule at work and the care of their children. Jack(Clooney)is a cool,charming newspaper reporter and Melanie(Pfeiffer) is a clever,dynamic and slightly neurotic architect.Of course the attraction between them is obvious from the very first moment but since they don't admit the truth to each other, they spend the entire day flirting and creating a romantic and funny battle of the sexes. Like I said, it's a really nice film, that can cheer you up. Even though it deserves an 8/10, I give it a 10/10 because I think it's unfortunately underrated. Try it and relax!!!

Atreyu_II Long gone are the days when I considered myself a romantic but that doesn't prevent me from enjoying this charming romantic comedy to a degree, even though it is a genre of film that I used to like better when I was younger. For a romantic comedy this one is fun and has some charm. It is romantic without being too lame or mushy stuff, although it still is cheesy at times.George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer have perfect chemistry. So have the two kids, as good in their respective roles as the adults are on theirs.Despite all the fast pace and daily rush subject this films deals with, it still has room for classic humor, romance and a certain nostalgic/classic feeling to it thanks to oldie songs and the excellent scenario of New York city, making that city look perhaps better than it really is, especially now after the horrifying events of 11th September 2001.George Clooney and Michelle Pfeiffer would make a good couple in real life, just like Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner would. Their characters's rivalries are funny although they become frustrating after a while, but not profane or sadistic, they're just normal (if unnecessary) rivalries.This should please most fans of romantic comedies and might as well please (to a degree) some who are not into this type of film.
