Universal knew exactly what they were doing when then set their sights on a Valentine’s Day release for Lone Scherfig’s adaptation of David Nicholls’ much heralded One Day, and we’ve got our hands on an exclusive clip from the DVD to entice those of you who haven’t succumbed to the charms of Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess.

The premise of revisiting a couple on a single day over the course of twenty or so years isn’t as trite as it sounds and Scherfig makes the most of a decent spark from the film’s leads.

Here’s a handy synopsis,

Following the story of Emma (Hathaway) and Dexter (Sturgess), who meet on the day of their university graduation, July 15th 1988, the film catches up with the pair on the same day for the next 20 years as they experience the highs and lows of adulthood both together and apart.

As their lives go separate ways, Emma and Dex strive to live their dreams experiencing hardship, success and compromise along the way. The bonds of their friendship are frequently tested yet their stories remain intertwined. Will they realise the power of their unique connection in time to share a life together?
