Another Day (2001)

I love this movie so much

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The acting in this movie is really good.

As a fan of 'Charmed', I was looking forward to this movie of 2001. Having seen Shannen Doherty in other TV films, I think she can hold the lead role in a film as well as she does her character in the 'Charmed' TV series. But sadly, this particular movie was not worth the wait.There were too many slow-moving elegiac scenes of rivers and skies, and not enough momentum in the story. I feel I wasted 2 hours of my life watching this film, when in fact the movie could easily have been cut by half an hour. A bit of tightening of the script, cutting irrelevant scenes, and building up the back-story of the characters, all might have done the trick. As it was, the script was poor, the tone of the film was wishy-washy, the plot lacked structure, and the characters had no depth. Shannen Doherty was totally wasted.I love Julian McMahon, but he was also wasted as an actor; though he did look delicious, which at least gave the film a little enjoyment! The movie was clearly just a vehicle for the two actors, fresh from 'Charmed'. But the script/director/production relied upon that factor to keep the viewers entranced. In fact viewers need a little more 'oomph' to a film, to keep us truly interested in the plot, than just a pretty couple wandering about in lovely scenery .Only if you want to see McMahon & Doherty at the height of their 'Charmed' fame - for a pretty-pretty sight! - should you bother with this sadly disappointing film.~ by SceneByScene ~

A comment i keep seeing about this movie is that the plot at times does not make sense. I have the answer as to why.The movie was written by my aunt and uncle, Don MacLeod and Helen Frost. When my aunt and uncle write, they write their movies in a format appropriate for release on the big screen. TV movies require huge amounts of plot to be cut out for the allotted time period. As such, important details were cut out of the movie itself which sometimes made the plot a little hard to follow. If you read the original script written by them, the plot makes complete sense, but for the sake of time compression, key events and plot happenings had to be taken out.

It was a lovely story, I think, but I was confused a good bit of the time. I wondered if the movie started before I started watching but was nearly sure it didn't. The actors and Shannon were talented in this role. She is beautiful. I pretty much caught on to the story before the end but was busy trying to figure it out the whole time. I did search it out on-line and found the IMDb website which I found very helpful in clarifying my confusion when I was able to read comments from others and find that others were also in varying degrees of confusion. I didn't choose the movie but when I overstayed the previous one on Lifetime I could not go on about my planned activity for the afternoon because I was "hooked" into it very quickly. It was a good exercise for my sometimes lazy brain.

I have just watched Another day and thought it was great i thought Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon were both incredible. Shannen is one of the most talented actresses i've seen in a long while, she made this film what it is. Altough it was hard to understand i understood what was going on nearer to the end, also Shannen is great at what she does and i don't understand why she hasn't hit our cinema screens with a great movie altough i can say with all my heart Charmed hasn't been the same since she departed. We miss you Shannen, best of luck. Steve
