Load of rubbish!!

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Movies, like theatre, have two major categories, comedy and drama but sometimes, like this movie, they are beautifully intertwined. This movie is one of those movies. For the first hour of the movie, I find myself laughing at all the right places, the ones where they wanted me to laugh and where you want to laugh. I enjoy getting to know them and watch their relationship develop. The whole time you know something's off, but you still love watching them together. Then the tears come. The backstory is finally told and you finally understand everything so far. It's beautiful and it's heartbreaking. And I cry. The ending is just wonderful. So appropriate to the movie.The movie feels like real life in all the right ways. Life is not just comedy and it's not just drama. Life is a beautiful mix of the two. There's no telling when the funny parts will be or the serious parts, you just know they come. For me, this make the movie even better. Do you have to suspend disbelief for this movie? A bit. Most guys probably just wouldn't have the patience for a girl like Jordan, and most girls probably wouldn't react and act like Jordan in a similar situation. But that's OK for me. I watch a movie to experience something other than real life. I live a life, sometimes I want a silly girl, the guy that puts up with her, and the love story that they live. This movie is real enough to suspend disbelief where necessary. And it's worth it to allow that to happen. This story is beautiful and worth a watch. My final recommendation for this movie, the point to really take home. I saw this movie on DVD in 2008 or 2009. And, because of series of events, didn't see it again until 2014. This is one of those rare movies that I couldn't forget. It didn't get mixed up with something else. It's unique, and one of my favorite movies. I have seen more movies than I can fathom, some of them I can't remember what they were about (i.e.: The Big Wedding...can't remember it for ANYTHING) this movie, followed me until I finally bought it so I can watch it anytime. I think that's the biggest recommendation I can make for it!Also, this movie has a real independent film feel. When you watch it, you know it's not a mainstream movie, but it offers something that most independent films don't, a happy ending, and I love that about this film. Seriously, just buy it and watch it. It's worth it.Finally, and please understand this, I haven't seen, nor do I intend to see the original Korean version. I'm just not interested. So, I can't compare the two. Matter of fact, I didn't know that it was a remake until long after I saw it. I enjoyed this movie tremendously for it was. I didn't compare it, I just enjoyed it. Maybe it's crap compared to the original, I don't know, i can't say, but this version is wonderful.

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.

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!!!!!!!!

First I have to say I haven't heard or seen the original version, so I'm not making any comparison to that one. "My Sassy Girl" tells a story of a lonely guy which meets an apparently crazy girl on the subway, and in a strange way they get to know each other. Both main characters are portrayed by two great actors, which makes the movie becomes more involving. One thing that called my attention is that I indeed laughed in many scenes, including the hockey one. That's incredible, given that I hardly laugh in a romantic comedy-- I usually find them dumb. Sadly, after the one hour mark it appeals to the old clichés we're tired of. This is why-- and only why-- I don't give it a higher rating. Good romantic comedy indeed.
