Roger EbertFull Review Good 'One Day' has style, freshness, and witty bantering dialogue.
USA TodayFull Review Very Good One Day is an aching lovely romance, but it's also an insightful look at human potential and the search for a purposeful existence.
Washington PostFull Review Above Average 'One Day' drives home what these now-ancient artifacts symbolize: Things change so fast, we'd best grab what we love and hold tight as long as we can.
