One Fine Day (1996)
Directed by Michael Hoffman
Melanie Parker, an architect and mother of Sammy, and Jack Taylor, a newspaper columnist and father of Maggie, are both divorced. They meet one morning when overwhelmed Jack is left unexpectedly with Maggie and forgets that Melanie was to take her to school. As a result, both children miss their school field trip and are stuck with the parents. The two adults project their negative stereotypes of ex-spouses on each other, but end up needing to rely on each other to watch the children as each must save his job. Humor is added by Sammy's propensity for lodging objects in his nose and Maggie's tendency to wander.

What critics compared One Fine Day to
It’s as if movies like One Fine Day and The Peacemaker (the latter heavily featured in the Kelly montage, if I’m not mistaken) became signature smashes, and Clooney never branched out into socially-conscious directing or the elder-statesman gravitas to understand his slow, natural fade.
…during the climactic montage of his work that includes clips from such real-life Clooney landmarks as Leatherheads, The Peacemaker, and…did I spot One Fine Day(?)
Set It Up feels like a return to that era, when smaller-scale star vehicles like Picture Perfect , You’ve Got Mail , One Fine Day , and While You Were Sleeping were regular fixtures at the multiplex.
Rom-coms pretty much defined mainstream cinema in the ’90s with classics like When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail, Sleepless in Seattle, One Fine Day, and Jerry Maguire.
