One Fine Day (film)

One Fine Day is a 1996 American romantic comedy film directed by Michael Hoffman, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and George Clooney as two single working parents, with Alex D. Linz and Mae Whitman as their children. The title comes from the 1963 song "One Fine Day" by The Chiffons.

Michelle Pfeiffer served as an executive producer on this film, which was made in association with her company Via Rosa Productions.

The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song ("For the First Time").

Plot

Melanie Parker (Michelle Pfeiffer) is an architect and divorced single mother to son, Sammy (Alex D. Linz). Her day gets off to a bad start when she is late to drop him off at school, due to the forgetfulness of fellow single parent Jack Taylor (George Clooney), a New York Daily News reporter whose daughter, Maggie (Mae Whitman), is thrust into his care that morning by his ex-wife.

The children arrive just a moment too late to go on a school field trip (a Circle Line boat cruise). Their parents are forced to accept that, on top of hectically busy schedules, they must work together that day to supervise each other's child. In their confusion of sharing a taxi, they accidentally switch cellphones, causing each of them, all morning, to receive calls intended for the other one, which they then have to relay to the right person.

Fine-Day

Fine Day or Kamiokisihkwew (born ca. 1852 unknown; but after 1935) was a Cree war chief of the River People band of Plains Cree. He participated in the North-West Rebellion of 1885 (notably the Battle of Cut Knife).

Described by a contemporary as "brave in all things," he was a skilled warrior, hunter, trapper and (in later life) a powerful shaman.

Fine Day's memories of the North-West Rebellion were published by the Canadian North-West Historical Society in 1926.

David G. Mandelbaum, in the introduction to his extensive study of the Plains Cree cites Fine Day as his principal informant.

    One Fine Day (어느 멋진 날, Eoneu Meotjin Nal) is the debut solo studio album by South Korean vocalist and CNBLUE member Jung Yong-hwa. It was released on January 20, 2015, under FNC Entertainment and distributed by CJ E&M. As CNBLUE's promotions for their mini-album Can't Stop (2014) came to a close, the label announced plans for Jung to release a solo album within the year. Since the album's inception, he sought to distance himself from the band's sound and include various musical styles on the record. Ultimately, he conceived a collaborative album with an array of musicians.

    By late 2014, the album was scheduled to be released in early 2015. Teasers revealing the musicians Jung collaborated with were released one-by-one the following January, which included rapper Verbal Jint, rock musician Yoon Do-hyun, and Singaporean singer JJ Lin. "Mileage" with actor and rapper Yang Dong-geun (YDG) was first released on January 9. After a series of photo and video teasers thereafter, the album and lead single "One Fine Day" were released. Jung began promoting the album through music chart programs across various television networks by performing "One Fine Day" and the collaboration tracks. The single ultimately led him to win a total of four music show trophies, including two consecutive wins on Korean Broadcasting System's (KBS) Music Bank.

    One Fine Day (book)

    One Fine Day is a children's picture book by Nonny Hogrogian. Released by Macmillan, it was the recipient of the Caldecott Medal for illustration in 1972.
