One Day

One day, you'll forget...........Jim Sturgess, and Anne Hathaway.....One Day

Beginning in 1988, One Day shows the two lives, of two lovers. They both start off graduating from Edinburgh University and sleeping together. Instead of keeping this as a boyfriend/girlfriend type of thing, they stay as friends and part ways. Emma, played by dodgy-accented Anne Hathaway goes off and works in a horrible Tex-Mex restaurant in London and starts her life, slowly and steadily while Dexter (Jim Sturgess, who sounds like a young Rupert Everett) starts off as a TV presenter. Her life, is calm, from the beginning onwards and she slowly crawls up the career ladder until she eventually completes the jobs she wants. While Dexter struggles to keep up his emotional-intelligence with his family, played by Ken Stotts and Patricia Clarkson. The script is interesting and every time they change a year, they script drops in little hints of what has happened between then and the previous year. Maybe 15 minutes too long, and a very loved-up chemistry but it's a so-so rom-com that deals with the fragile lives of two completely different people.
