Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that One Fine Day touches on issues including divorce and absentee parents. One child wanders off continuously, scaring caregivers. There's some swearing ("s--t," "a--hole," "bastard," etc.), plus kissing, innuendo, and scenes of a woman in her bra. But overall this is light, romantic, escapist fare.

Sexual Content

Melanie and Jack kiss passionately. Melanie is shown in a bra while she's trying on different outfits; another scene of a woman partially dressed. Flirting, innuendo.

Violence

One child continues to wander off, scaring caregivers, one of whom screams her name standing on top of a car. Some yelling/tense conversations and bullying comments.

Language

Language is infrequent but includes "bastard," "s--t," "goddammit," "damn," "hell," "ass," "a--hole," "hell," and more.

Social Behavior

Despite frantic schedules and random crises, main characters rise to the challenge and ultimately remain responsible, loving parents. Another character skirts his parental duties.

Consumerism

Not applicable

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

Characters drink cocktails at an after-work business meeting. One child overhears another mention "LSD" and asks parent what it is.
