Steve Pulaski Not seeing the original My Sassy Girl, a Korean film from 2001, I appreciated it more than I probably should've. Once in a while, on a weekday, I'll watch a romantic comedy for the hell of it. I'll usually wind up liking it, but sometimes I don't want to watch something very negative and I'll just turn on something uplifting and positive like this film. There isn't much really to hate on a film like this.Basically, you know the story. Guy meets girl, they fall in love, they break up, they get back together. Movie is over. This one decides to tweak the formula just a bit to try and stand out. Charlie Bellow (Bradford) is a high strung up and coming businessman who just wants one thing; to succeed. One day he is in a subway and finds a girl (Cuthbert), drunk out of her mind, who is about to get struck by a train. He pulls her intoxicated self to safety, and chemistry begins.He takes her back home to his friends apartment where they await her recovery. When she finally does, the relationship from the two is a bit rocky, but soon they become closer and closer. That is when both realize they are beginning to fall for each other. Of course the audience has known that since the beginning.Jesse Bradford was also the guy who played the misogynistic jerk in I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell a year later. It's fun seeing him actually fond of girls. Especially after he played such a simple minded character acting on impulse. It's nice to see him appreciate women. Elisha Cuthbert is also a gorgeous, and wonderful add to the film. Neither her or Bradford do anything wrong and their chemistry is believable.It's not hard to get me to like a romantic comedy. If the story is cute, the characters are believable, the dialog is realistic, and it doesn't seem forced it works for me. In the grand scheme My Sassy Girl doesn't stand out, but it's enough to keep you interested. Still, I will go ahead and assume the original is the one worth seeing.Starring: Jesse Bradford and Elisha Cuthbert. Directed by: Yann Samuell.

titanxcntry35 For the record, I have not seen the original version of this film. Therefore, my opinion is not biased in comparison to such.It took me a while to get used to this story, as well as the characters. I have seen several movies with a similar character to Charlie - the geeky hopeless romantic who's nice guy routine gives off a total push- over vibe. Of course he has the 'bad influence' friend, who's view of women is more materialistic rather than spiritual (however, the character provides comic relief, no matter how grotesque the humor is...it's 2010, pornography isn't the same blasphemy it used to be thought as). Nevertheless, Charlie's live seemed pretty bland and straight-forward; it was a great setup for the main plot.The moment Jordan is introduced, I knew she was going to be the other main character in this movie. And I have to say, from that moment she began to tick me off. Her personality, drinking habits, and everything that came out of her mouth made me upset, as well as (unfortunately) reminding me of women that I've known who are similar.But that was just me exploring the movie skin deep. About halfway into it, I found myself laughing at Jordan's antics, as well as noticing how much good she was doing for Charlie. She was giving him something extraordinary, that he had never experienced in his life. Have you ever felt like the sky is the limit? Well, with Jordan, I'm sure this was how the character felt. And this is partly why he knew he loved her.The second half of the film brings some unexpected twists, as well as a more dramatic-based dialogue. For anyone who has experienced heartbreak, this will surely push some emotional buttons.The acting in this movie is underrated and overlooked. Especially the contributions of Elisha Cuthbert (Jordan), there is motivation and inner emotion behind every action and every word. I've never been pushed and pulled to such polar opposites by an actor or actress before.This isn't your stock, cliché romantic comedy flick. It provides plenty to ponder over afterward, especially it's great morals and beliefs pertaining to destiny. If you believe in such a phenomenon, you'll only benefit from queuing this up on your Netflix account and witnessing it's artistic perspective.
herbqedi I'm rather ill-informed compared to most of the other reviewers. A friend loaned this to me along with 7 other DVDs and I knew absolutely nothing about it or its stars. In fact, with the names Elisha and Jesse, I assumed that Elisha was the male and Jesse was the female. Oops! And I had no idea that this was an Americanization of a highly acclaimed Korean film as I don't believe I have ever watched a Korean film in my life. So my esteemed international colleagues may justifiably think of me as The Ugly American (I am nobody's George Clooney).All that said,I enjoyed this movie immensely. It frequently caught me as off-balance and surprised as the male lead. In some ways, it reminded a bit of Bringing Up Baby and a few earlier '30's screwball comedies with Breakfast at Tiffany's. It also reminded me a bit of The Shape of Things. The pacing was great, the fast-forward photography was well-inserted. This is refreshingly good masochistic fun.
