Thanks to my aunt, I got free movie passes for a movie of my choice. Unfortunately, they'll expire by tomorrow so I had to use them either today or tomorrow. I have two so I decided to use one of them earlier today.

So as I arrived in the theaters, I checked out which one I'd watch. I had limited choices though since the movie pass couldn't be used for movies with reserved seating which narrowed down my choices. I ended up watching One Day which is one of the two choices I wanted. I could have watched Crazy Stupid Love but the screening time was still later in the afternoon and I wanted to go back home early so I could rest and I know there will be traffic at night due to the majority of people going back to the city to officially end the long weekend.

I like the both lead actors, Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. However, I feel like there is something lacking in the movie. The movie was based on a novel which I haven't read so I don't know how the story went according to the book, but in the movie, it was a little hard to relate to the characters and the transition to another scene was not handled well. The movie showed what was happening to the two main characters at a specific date every year, thus, the many development changes. Some were not so believable though and it almost got to a point where it was dragging and pretty boring. I've read that the movie stayed faithful to the book and tried to put everything in the movie but that is probably one of the reasons that it did not turn out the way it should have been. But the movie is still good and I can't say it's a bad romantic film.
