One Fine Day (1996)

In the bustling heart of New York City, the lives of two divorced professionals, Melanie Parker, an architect, and Jack Taylor, an investigative reporter, collide in an unexpected whirlwind of chaos and camaraderie. Melanie, a devoted mother to Sammy, is a control enthusiast, juggling her demanding job, her six-year-old son, and her less-than-supportive family, including her musician ex-husband. Jack, on the other hand, maintains a seemingly carefree attitude towards life and parenting, despite his responsibilities toward his daughter, Maggie, who's Sammy's classmate at a Montessori school. Their paths cross when both Sammy and Maggie miss their school field trip due to their parents' work obligations. Melanie is slated to present an important pitch to her fastidious boss and a set of potential clients, while Jack grapples with a looming libel suit tied to a story about political corruption. As they confront the reality of their missed school bus, they find themselves reluctantly agreeing to a joint childcare pact, navigating the day's professional and personal pitfalls while keeping an eye on the mischievous Sammy and the free-spirited Maggie. As the day unfolds, they battle the city's chaos, their work pressures, and the antics of their young ones - Sammy with his knack for inserting objects into his nose and Maggie's curious wanderlust. Despite their initial animosity and their hardened stereotypes about ex-spouses, the day's misadventures force them to rely on each other. Amidst the turmoil, a spark of attraction ignites between them, disrupting their well-ordered lives and challenging their views on love and family.
