MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

super400 This is now on my list of top ten worst movies, for both plot and acting. "Trite" is the word that comes to mind. The script tries to be funny -- (e.g., drunlalogue stories that are in actuality signs of alcohol abuse - passing out in a subway, throwing up on someone, going home with strangers, etc) -- and instead our intelligence is insulted. We don't believe she is cute and sassy but rather socially disruptive and annoying, and actually lacking in social intelligence (she wrecks her boyfriends interview, she is untrustworthy in public, she is dangerous in many instances, and high)...we don't find it funny, but rather a failed attempt to make "sassy" look like good times. It doesn't reach any kind of bar for humor that an adult would seek. Her "sassy" behavior seems really more about personality disorder qualities -- pushing and hitting people, appearing at all times unstable, creating chaos everywhere she goes, manipulating people, seeking the spotlight, expecting others to follow her outrageous commands. I acknowledge it must be hard to act in a convincing way when given a script that is weak and contrived (e.g., a strange yet wise old man in a few minutes time gives wierd / sage advice to Jordan in a scene trying to be deep yet failing miserably)...but still, the acting must be called out for its sophomoric and inexpert quality, from all participants. The movie tries to be deep over and over yet comes across more as an 8th grader trying to explain first love, in mono-syllables and short sentences. It just does not work as a story line or as a platform of any sort for these actors. I was disappointed to see it rates as high collectively as 6.3. This movie is representative of the failure of the style of "up-market' in our current culture...if you ask me.

groktalo It is a remake, so it's nothing new by default. However, if we pretend that it wasn't a remake, it would still be nothing new. A story about an unlikely couple experiencing trials and tribulations en route to some sort of resolution is not a novel approach to romance.The acting was OK, but not spectacular. Maybe the lead characters did not quite fit the actors or maybe it was something else, but I just did not find them entirely convincing. As a matter of fact, I could not really care less what the final outcome of the story would be and I am the kind of person who watches Christmas Hallmark rom coms.Granted, the movie does have a message, which is why I am not giving it just one out of ten. However, the message is conveyed in a fairly clumsy manner, borderline ridiculous.

jaredrknight Luckily I saw the korean film first. I saw this on IMDb when i was giving the original film a ten out of ten.GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FILM!!!!!!!!This film should burn in hell. This director probably found the original films script translated it to English. Then said hey let's make a romance film! I want the director of this film shot through the head for doing this.GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FILM!!!!!!Don't even waste your time with this film. Like just about every other reviewer said watch the original before you watch this. This just shows you how far the American Romance genre has fallen. It is sad that the director did this.GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FILM!!!!!!!!In case you didn't see my subliminal messages in this reviewGO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FILM!!!!!!!!GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FILM!!!!!!!!GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FILM!!!!!!!!GO WATCH THE ORIGINAL FILM!!!!!!!!

scottshak_111 My Sassy girl turned out to be an 'okay' movie although I expected more from it. The way the story went had me rooted but eventually it failed to keep me occupied as there was a lack of emotions and the apparent emotional touch that should be normally present in any romantic movie, was missing. The separation between the two protagonists should have been a little more touching which as a matter of fact didn't happen because of the lame performance from both of them i.e. Elisha Cuthbert as well as Jesse Bradford ( No offense .... but I still think it could have been much better ). I have been told that the actual Korean movie from where this flick was taken was far better than this one as it possessed a lot of emotions plus a great performance by the actors. You would enjoy the movie half way through albeit eventually you would realize that wasn't a damn good reason buddy ! Plus I hate to mention it but the old man spoils the fun in the last moments wherein he deliberately mentions that the letter would bring her down in tears which suggested it to be a pretty good god damn letter, which it wasn't. So that was a party pooper which fell on real hard spoiling the fun altogether. Well although Elisha Cuthbert happens to be one of my favourites (I can't rate her movies just because of that eh !) I would give it a 5 on 10.
