While I'm sure One Day is a solid movie on its own, it falls a little flat to the new series adaptation. Potentially biased because I watched the series first, but with the nature of the story taking place over the course of several years, it's very hard to form a connection to the characters in an hour and 48 minutes.
The movie lacked the depth that the series was able to create with the characters, and portrayed Emma's character in a way that I think is a bit more pathetic. Now I don't know which version rings true to the novel, but either way, the nature of the story reads better as a series.
Also, Leo Woodall > Jim Sturgess.
