this is the sort of movie that parents would make to stop their kids taking drugs. the sad thing is that the acting isn't bad, and the filming is OK but seriously? who the hell learns how to mix in a couple of weeks? and what sort of DJ, not only once but twice, plays ONE track and then walks off the decks? A s**t one. i have a lot of DJ friends and i am heavily involved in dance music and i frankly found this movie insulting to it. the only redeeming points of the movie was the bit of drama going on with the main characters until it became completely outlandish and myself and my boyfriend sat there laughing as one of the main characters died. i have a feeling that laughs were not the desired reaction. don't bother.

I saw this when I lived in Melnourne from 2002-3.We say it on opening might in Melbourne and while it is not "The Castle" or "The Dish", it's still not a bad movie, especially if you like the music and the whole rave music vibe. What it also does is prove the high quality of Aussie film-making for such a relatively small population.In fact, if they had made it a 1 hour movie with a bit of plot and all the music scenes, that would have been good enough for me to still pay to see it on the big screen. I bought the sound track and unfortunately they took some liberties on what was in the movie and what is in the soundtrack.That's really too bad as lots of the movie scenes are not on the soundtrack but in the movie and some of them are very good. I was hoping for a better sound track compared to the movie, but hey, it might be a good rental if you're into the music...

"One Perfect Day" is a musically-oriented drama surrounding the tale of a classical composer who discovers his sister died after taking some drugs in a party. He then decides to pursue the rave scene, and finds himself completely immersing in a new and digital age of music....Sounds tight, huh? I thought so myself. This movie does manage to pull some nifty tricks on the unsolicited viewer - but c'mon!! * Crickets do NOT sound anything like a choir when you sample them and pitch them down!! The choir thing is the intro for Orbital's track under the same name as the movie title.* Some of the dramatic/hallucinogenic elements are just poorly acted and filmed. The raves are shot in a most rough manner that does not capture the energies of a real party (unlike it's fellow mates "Groove" and "GMT").If you really want to see a Dramatic movie that's also related to and includes a lot of action from the electronica scene, try "GMT" which is a tight movie about an electronic band and their break-ups and hold-ups.

I saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival and it was amazing!!! Everyone gave a standing ovation to OPD. I cant wait till it releases over here in the US so I can see it again. The acting was incredible. OPD will surely make you laugh and cry hysterically. 3 THUMBS UP!!! OPD will make you think twice about taking drugs. Excellent one of the best foreign movies I ever seen! The music is phenomenal!! I cant wait till it comes out over here in the US so people would take out sometime out of their lives to see such an amazing movie worth watching and worth the money! I think if it is released over here soon I think a lot of people will be touched by this movie and Think Twice! WAY TO GO OPD!!!
