Someday Anne Hathaway will no doubt look back at “One Day” as a distant memory. The rest of us might not be so willing to forget.As passion-starved as it is lame brained, “One Day” methodically checks in with best friends Emma and Dex every July 15 starting in 1988 at their Edinburgh University graduation. By the time the story mercifully ends 20 years later, Emma (Hathaway) and Dex (Jim Sturgess) have evolved from best friends to estrangement to lovers.In between, we’re subjected to every piddling emotion they’re experiencing, from career highs and lows, births, engagements, breakups, death, etc. Watch One Fall Movie Online
It’s all there and director Lone Scherfig (the Oscar-nominated “An Education”) not-so-subtly works all the heart-tugging angles. Emma’s a frumpy aspiring writer stuck working at a London taco shop. He’s the dashing host of an MTV-style music show. He’s a rebel; she’s a prude. When he is on top of the world, she’s barely getting by. The tables turn and she’s got herself together and he’s undone.They are so different that it’s often hard to buy that they are even friends. Plus, Dex takes her for granted and it’s obvious she is in more-than-like with him. And, in case you don’t pick up the whole you-complete-me nonsense, Emma finds a yin-and-yang tattoo on Dex’s ankle while they’re sunbathing on holiday. Cue up tender beach moment.
The dithering and melodrama that plays out onscreen is no different than the mush seen every Sunday night on Lifetime. Plus, there’s that syrupy score to let you know how you’re supposed to feel.“One Day” might sound like a Nicholas Sparks book.
It’s not, but David Nicholls adapted his best-selling novel of the same name. In Scherfig’s hands “One Day” is a rather dull affair and certainly not one to remember. It’s all suds and sap. The characters are borderline insufferable and it’s hard to root for either of them, even when tragedy strikes. The movie’s gimmick – that we join Dex and Emma for one day every year – is also its biggest problem. Perhaps in a novel this isn’t as noticeable, but onscreen the story lacks cohesion.
Oscar-nominated for “Rachel Getting Married,” Hathaway speaks in a British accent that comes and goes. Sturgess (“Across the Universe,” “21”) plays a decent cad, but turns wooden when he has to reveal real emotion. Not to mention the lack of chemistry between the pair. She was better matched with Jake Gyllenhaal in “Love and Other Drugs.” When Sturgess and Hathaway share the screen, it feels like they’d rather be somewhere else.
The only palpable moment in the film is a scene between Sturgess and his dying mother (a terrific as always Patricia Clarkson) that could have easily been deleted because it doesn’t add to or advance the narrative of an already overly long (103 minutes) film. Watch One Fall Movie Online
Lending much-needed gravitas, Clarkson relays tenderness and despair without saying many words. It’s the way she looks at her son, the way she embraces him and touches him. It is poignant. The same can’t be said for any scene with Dex and Emma, especially involving dialogue such as: “I love you, Dex. I just don’t like you anymore.” Also adding strong support are Rafe Spall as Emma’s mid-90s boyfriend and Ken Stott as Dex’s dad. They provide welcome changes of pace, but those moments are too few and far between to make this tepid affair seem like anything more than just another “Day.”
A sheriff's deputy fights an alternate universe version of himself who grows stronger with each alternate self he kills. Emma and Dexter couldn't be more different. So it's evident from their almost-intimate first encounter and their vow to just be buds that they're destined to fall in love. It's the oldest rom-com trick in the book—or in this case, David Nicholls' bestselling novel. But this bittersweet adaptation makes their two decades of foreplay (mostly) worth the wait.
