[Movie Review] Movie Review: One Day - PG13

Warning: Potential Spoilers

At their graduation, Emma Morley and Dexter Mayhew begin a friendship that will last a lifetime. Over the next 20 years, they go their separate ways: He becomes a TV host, she is a teacher aspiring to be a writer. They have different partners, but they remain part of each others' lives. Neither of them seems to achieve true happiness.

I found "One Day" disappointing on several levels:

The story really seems to drag on.

It was disappointing how cavalier their attitude toward sex is.
There is a tremendous amount of drinking, especially by Dex.

The ending is not only anti-climactic, but falls far short of what is anticipated.

To be honest, I left the theater very depressed.

One word: a Downer
