Let me start by saying, I thought I might be bored to tears. For One More Day, I honestly think Oprah could have done better. Sorry I know that sounds harsh but I have watch things with her in it or that she been a part of and it was much better. This movie is very slow movie, and sometimes the plot is hard to follow. Many times my husband and I would ask what’s going on is this a flash back or present time.
The main character was a washed up baseball player, who was on a suicide mission. He got to spend one more day with his mom and find out why things where the way they where. When he came back to he had the cops there, so his mom was pretty much a dream but didn’t seem like it.
My husband and I where at first a little concerned with watching this movie because we just got a bad report from her doctor. We where worried it might just hit way to close to home, it didn’t hit even close to home. The man didn’t respect or treat his mom very kindly never. He was a daddy boy who needed to learn a couple hard lessons from his mom. Personally I didn’t like any of the characters in this movie.
The plot moved very slowly which didn’t give it a real fluidness. Maybe the book is better since it’s based on a book, I don’t know.
What did I like about the movie, at the end he seemed to have realize a little more about life. Even though he was a goat to his mom, she still loved him and was there when he needed her. Maybe this movie would have been better if we had some home theater lighting.
