My Sassy Girl (2008)

Pretty Good

Just perfect...

Better Late Then Never

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This film has a decent enough premise, but never quite lives up to its potential.Don't get me wrong, it has it's moments, but the problem with any film with a crazy but quirky female lead is that they run the risk of being annoying. And that's the case here.I think while this film will never rank as one of the best films ever made, it's a decent enough romantic comedy, with some funny and charming moments.Unfortunately the slower, sillier parts stopped me enjoying it fully.

This is a really beautiful movie. Both main leads do a great job. Elisha Cuthbert is just wonderful and beautiful. I had not seen her in any movie before this one but now she goes high up on my list of actresses to follow. She really can convey feelings and is clearly a very good actress. Regarding discussion about original/remake: probably both movies have value. I happened to catch this one (on TV) and it made me feel good and hopeful about life. What more can you ask? I gave it an 8 but I'm considering changing it to 9.Need to see what else Cuthbert has done. I kinda fell in love with her (character) now.

First, let me say that I didn't know this was a remake of a Korean film, so this review will not be a comparison of the two movies, it just discusses the merits of this one.I wanted to like this movie, partly because I really like Jesse Bradford, but mostly because I really love offbeat romantic comedies, and this certainly qualifies as that. I did like this movie, but I didn't love it.I think it gets better in the second half, especially after you find out more about Jordan's character. Before you understand her, she's just a really annoying person, and I couldn't imagine what this kind and gentle young man could possibly see in her.I think this movie works, but it's pretty far along the continuum of offbeat. I wouldn't discourage people from seeing this, but if you've read this far, I'll make a pitch for some offbeat romances that I liked better: Maze (2000) with Rob Morrow and Laura Linney, Dedication (2007) with Billy Crudup and Mandy Moore (don't scoff, she was great in this), Elvis and Anabelle (2007) with Max Minghella and Blake Lively. Check out all 4 of these, if you like romance without the cookie-cutter Hollywood banalities.
