I understand that this is a remake of a 2001 Korean Romantic Comedy, Yeopgijeogin geunyeo. Although I usually prefer the Korean version to the American cash cow remake, I was very surprised at this off the wall romantic comedy. It could come off being slightly cliched but in the end it has a nice heart and My Sassy Girl is much easier to say than Yeopgij... oh forget it.Jesse Bradford plays Charlie Bellow's a small town guy with big city aspirations. Everything is going smoothly in his life, all be it a pretty boring life. Then He meets her. Elisha Cuthbert plays Jordan Roark, a nutcase, complicated, off her rocker and spontaneous. She is exactly what Charlie's life needs. After a touching realization of why they are both in the relationship to start with and a couple tear jerking moments, the movie leaves you with a simple good feeling.
Sure it's just a classic chick flick, but how Jordan treats Charlie is worth the watch just to have incite into how guys view crazy women. Charlie's best friend Leo is a nice yet short screen time addition to the film, I would have liked to see more of him. Anyway I think it was nice for what it was. If you don't mind chick flicks, or are forced to see one, OR more likely are obsessed like most men with Elisha Cuthbert and you have rented this film. You'll probably enjoy it.
(Rated-PG-13 . 92 min.)
