does the movie version of “one day” stay true to the beloved book?

My parents taught me if I didn’t have anything nice to say, I shouldn’t say anything at all.

So, as someone who LOVED One Day and who gushed her way through an interview with its author, David Nicholls, I am just going to once again recommend that you read the book which touched me so deeply. I may even re-read it myself now, with Emma Morley’s eclectic playlist providing the perfect background soundtrack, and try to erase the image of Anne Hathaway struggling with a British accent and being too Anne Hathaway to ever become Emma Morley.

Sorry, mom and dad.

  1. Pretty much what I expected; oh, well. Thanks for the heads up.

    Actually, I thought “The Help” was the first movie in a long, long time that actually did justice to the book.

    1. Completely agree. I loved both the book and movie of “The Help” — which I’ve already seen twice! Oscar nominations all around!

  2. Thanks for that Lois – I too LOVED the book!

    My next novel to movie, movie I want to see is Sarah’s Key – another one of my favorite books! Did you see that yet? I also agree with Pam about The Help – LOVED the book and the movie!!
