saw 'one fine day' last night...one of the few romcoms i genuinely like...something really frothy and loveable abt the flick....michelle pfeiffer is gorgeous (if i would ever get the option to be a white woman, it wd have to be either her or kim basinger) and clooney does his yummy bit rather well...the whole NY backdrop just fits in....the kids are cute without getting cloyingly so....and yes, the sparring which inevitably leads to love... :-) and the funny thing abt this movie is that there is no making out, no kisses...just the teeny first one between the hopelessly-attracted-to-each-other protagonists at the very end. clean and yet not kiddie-stuff.

remember seeing it the first time in the theatres with some people....no idea where they are now. come to think of it, remember seeing quite some movies with quite some people in the late 90s (wow, that sounds so chronological) and no clue whats become of them. hmm.

other flicks i like in the same genre wd be 4 w and a f, notting hill, while you were sleeping, 2 day notice (hmm, or was it 2 weeks?), my best friend's wedding and some more I'm sure I'm forgetting...sandra bullock's perfect for these bits...something really daft and loveable abt her...

anyway....
