Day one movie
I couldn't help remembering Marc Webb's flawed but interesting romantic comedy 500 Days of Summer, in which key days from a love affair between Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are presented to us out of order: the shuffling technique defamiliarised the personae and gave the audience some perspective.

But the movie never has much space to breathe, and there are only one or two real laugh lines in the entire film. Their relationship has some sweet touches. And Jim Sturgess is perfectly all right as Dex. Compared with Josh Hartnett, who had to play a Keighley lad in the 1999 Brit comedy Blow Dry, Hathaway sounds like Geoff Boycott in drag. It looks much like any other movie storyline.īrooklyn-born Anne Hathaway plays Emma, and there have been mutterings about her Yorkshire accent. It's a terrifically neat idea on the page: on screen, little titles pop up to tell you which year we're on, but without those, I frankly wonder whether anyone without previous knowledge of the book would particularly notice the "one day" organising principle. They never become a couple, but the story follows their twin lives on this day over the next 20 years: sometimes together, sometimes poignantly apart. Pretty Yorkshire lass Emma and handsome-yet-vulnerable smoothie Dexter spend the night together on this date in 1988, their graduation day at Edinburgh University.

#DAY ONE MOVIE UPDATE#
The point of the book is that each chapter gives us a snapshot update of the same two people on the same day every year: 15th July. The big emotional climax is unearned and the all-important high concept is now a bit blurred. David Nicholls's hugely loved bestseller One Day, whose distinctive orange jacket design adorns beaches and train-carriages all over the country, has now, unfortunately, been turned into a slushy, mawkish and weirdly humourless romance with a sub-Richard Curtis style and more endings than Lord of the Rings. I t's just 24 hours out of a person's life, but that can be a long, momentous and rather depressing time – as Ivan Denisovich will tell you.
