The film might make the book look less astute and interesting than it is, but it still has an undeniable emotional wallop by its close.

One Day is just a gimmicky "new" way of doing an old-fashioned love story. But we'll hear much more of Sturgess, Hathaway, and Lone Scherfig.

It's what a Nicholas Sparks movie would be if it were aimed at grown women rather than teenage girls.

The result is a rom-com with ambition, keen to actually develop the characters and to mix a few tears with the laughs. Well, the effort is admirable, the movie not so much.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Miscasting aside, there's simply very little excitement to the film since you can see where it's going -- chances are even just by reading this review -- right from the start.
