ABSTRACT

In The Holiday, Arthur, an ancient screenwriter, explains to Iris about the Cute Meet, or the Meet Cute, as he calls it, in classic Hollywood movies. The Cute Meet is a Hollywood Institution. The essential element in all of these "Meets" is that there is a small electric charge. An energy between these two people. Potential. A spark. This is important. They feel it, even if they do not realize it. More importantly, the audience feels it and already begins to root for these two to come together, sometimes before the characters even want it themselves. One Fine Day has Jack and Melanie showing up at the locked pre-school door with their respective tots, having missed the all-day field trip since someone forgot to call his phone tree buddy and let her know.
