A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I picked this film up at a DVD store and really loved it. It has an amazing soundtrack (which I also now own), and I really fell in love with the characters. This is one of the best Australian movies that I have seen for young people. I wish that I had of got a chance to see it on the big screen. This movie really makes you think twice about the drug scene in Australia and the risks involved in taking drugs. I would recommend this film to anyone who wants to watch a really good movie, especially if you love music. I can't wait to see more from this director.A++

One Perfect Day is about a small group of young people whose lives all meet within the art of sounds and visions. As an old disco-holic that stopped looking for driving dance beats after the dullards killed disco in the late 70s I fell out of the music scene and traded my cars woofers, midranges, and tweeters for a minivan and bringing up kids. I caught up just recently with trance and dance music and fell in love all over again. Swing, big band, disco, dance, trance. Other music is nice, but… Back to the movie. Lives are made and lost as drugs and bad decisions from immature people mix in a deadly cocktail that devastates the characters on the dance club scene. In the end, what's left of the good guys win and bring some wonderful sensory sugar to everyone. The casting was excellent as was the sound track, plot, dialog, and cinematography. This goes to show you that excellent movies and excellent actors aren't necessarily made in Hollywood USA. Bravo!!

This is an interesting and almost rewarding film, and like PARTY MONSTER or GO and parts of BLURRED, a difficult genre of music film (rave, road trip or dance party) to get on screen intact with the same feeling and experience as having really been there. Dan Spielman along with the hilarious and talented Nathan Phillips has roles under presented/directed and as a result one wishes we had the mature producing talent in Oz to properly see these young actors offered genuinely strong and interesting parts. And make the best of them. However, ONE PERFECT DAY is about as successful as one could wish for under the Oz film production circumstances. Unlike DECK DOGZ, UNDER THE RADAR, GARAGE DAYS, THUNDERSTRUCK or the worst offender of all: YOU AND YOUR STUPID MATE, (also unfortunately somehow starring young Nathan) OPD does rise above the pack with a genuinely compelling idea, that this is a young musician on a journey to find his place in the music scene and dance party underworld. It seems actually genuine in its romantic music ideas and offers Spielman a chance to be a character worth respect and attention. the music soundtrack is very good and as seen in a big cinema with an excellent sound system lifts the experience more than one would expect. Sadly like all those other titles above this film sank without trace, a fate undeserved but unfortunately in the public's eyes, guilty by association. Bit like Nathan Phillips' career. Somene from the USA needs to rescue this actor before he just ends up having to get a job in a shop. Spielman looks not unlike excellent DIRTY DEEDS actor Sam Worthington (also seen in the verbally clumsy tap dance musical BOOTMEN).. So much potential talent all at the mercy of crap producers and directors.

I saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival and it was amazing!!! Everyone gave a standing ovation to OPD. I cant wait till it releases over here in the US so I can see it again. The acting was incredible. OPD will surely make you laugh and cry hysterically. 3 THUMBS UP!!! OPD will make you think twice about taking drugs. Excellent one of the best foreign movies I ever seen! The music is phenomenal!! I cant wait till it comes out over here in the US so people would take out sometime out of their lives to see such an amazing movie worth watching and worth the money! I think if it is released over here soon I think a lot of people will be touched by this movie and Think Twice! WAY TO GO OPD!!!
