Comments:Based on the bestselling novel, One Day had much to live up to. Unfortunately in my opinion it didn’t exceed my expectations. There was never any true connection between the two main characters( Hathaway and Sturgess). I am normally a big fan of Anne Hathaway, however in this movie, her painful take on a British accent let her down. The only highlight of this movie is that it was very true to the original book, the series of events were told true to the book, even taking some quotations directly out of the book. Overall, it was a good attempt, however it didn’t meet the high standard of the original novel.
