Pluskylang Great Film overall

Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

studioAT 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.

Edmund Bloxam It seems most people care that this is a remake of another film and that that film is different. I don't. This movie works on its own terms.Now those terms might seem familiar. There are many tropes from romantic comedies on display here. But there is more than enough reality to the story, and more than enough genuine energy between the leads, to lift it much above its simple lines.The concept of free-wheeling, crazy, confident girl is a trope, I suppose. But I believed in this one. That probably has something to do with the acting. And a lot to do with depictions of real and negative things (like her almost insane alcohol abuse and dependence (not to say this is an intense portrayal of an alcoholic-but it gives the character a necessary and convincing edge). There are also other 'real things' going on in her life, which involve more in depth plotting. (But are delivered in a DIFFERENT, not worse way, than the original). Ultimately, she is also selfish and mean and that made her convincing too. Again, these match tropes, but I'm arguing that that doesn't matter here.The POV is from the guy, which is a little different, and the guy is also well-rounded and interesting. And his backstory and character is an entirely convincing reason for them not to get together immediately, which is clearly what they both want to do. I won't spoil the ending, but there is much to genuinely convince that this won't actually happen. I would have been content with either ending, and was more than content with the ending I got, entirely convincing, and because of the 'scratch-under-the-obvious' surface layer of the simple, tropey plot.Everything about this movie for me made it entirely convincing. In that sense, I don't need to see another romantic comedy again, because when the tropes happen here, I see them with new eyes and in an entirely satisfying way.

manuel-bodlos Spoiler Warningin the beginning of the movie, "My Sassy Girl" appears to be your basic independent romantic comedy (which is usually told from the male perspective rather than the mainstream faire told from the female perspective). It never saw a huge theatrical release (if any), and it's getting dropped onto the DVD market with little fanfare. The film follows the weird relationship between the straight-laced Charlie Bellow (Jesse Bradford) and the free-spirited Jordan Roark (Elisha Cuthbert). They meet on the subway while Jordan is drunk, and Jesse brings her home to keep her safe. This starts them on the most bizarre courtship imaginable. Jesse wants a normal relationship, but Jordan would rather do things unconventional.

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.
