Day One

About This Movie

So, "Day One" is this quirky comedy that takes a pretty relatable premise—Jody's first day at work—and runs with it. The director might not be well-known, but the film has a certain charm. It captures that mix of excitement and dread that comes with starting something new. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, feeling like it rushes through some moments while dragging in others. But those awkward, cringe-worthy moments? They really hit home. The performances have this raw, youthful energy, almost like a slice-of-life vibe. It’s the kind of film that leans into its practical effects and simple setups, making the gaffes feel all the more relatable. Not groundbreaking, but definitely has its own little spark.
