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

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Charlie Bellows (Jesse Bradford) is from a small Indiana town, where his dad repairs machinery for a knock-off John Deere company. The Bellows save and save for Charlie's education, for their dearest wish is for him to become a top officer of the tractor company. When Charlie is accepted at an elite college in Manhattan, it seems dreams can come true. However, just as Charlie is settling in and keeping his eye on the prize, a woman totally diverts his path. Beautiful Jordan (Elisha Cuthbert) appears very drunk and lands on a subway track. Yes, indeed, Charlie rescues her. It soon becomes a pattern, as Jordan self proclaims that she is in a "reckless" phase. Yet, an unlikely friendship emerges, with offbeat dates like breaking into a seasonally closed amusement park and riding the ghost tunnel. Yet, Jordan never wants the relationship to go beyond palsies. In fact, there are secrets and, to Charlie's dismay, Jordan suggests the duo writes their wishes for each other in letters. The notes are to be cast into a time capsule and buried for a year in Central Park. When 365 days are past, then this gal and gent will meet again to discover what their future holds. In the meanwhile, Jordan's eccentric behavior may have nixed Charlie's chances of landing a top job with John Deere-like. What, what will happen? This movie turns out to be an adaption of a widely praised Korean film. This viewer didn't see the original but, most likely, some things don't translate well. While this a fairly well done romantic comedy with two nice leads in Bradford and Cuthbert, its not a four star winner. The script is very imaginative, with plenty of quirks while the sets, costumes, and direction are acceptable. With the romcom on Hollywood's endangered species' list, most fans of the genre will want grab this one while they can.

I am going to try and keep this short this time around, and tell you exactly why you should steer clear of the remake of a far better movie or why you should see it just to know why....HOWEVER if you haven't seen the original movie and are thinking that you should see the remake please don't because all you will see is a very common American flick, that a flick that doesn't have much substance.My Sassy Girl is a remake of the original Korean movie which is named the same. My Sassy Girl from 2001 was an amazing love story weird and sweet at the same time. And you could argue that the original didn't make much sense, that's also why most people saw it more then once. You were meant to look upon it numerous of times to see what the story had to offer, and every time you saw it again more details would be clear to the viewer.It was a massive success in Korea and across the eastern world, it was amazing because it was a love story that wasn't fabricated from someone's mind, it was a love story based on real events.My Sassy Girl from 2008 is Hollywood wanting to get some extra money from a success that they really shouldn't have been able to earn anything from. My Sassy Girl from 2008 didn't have any substance it felt weak and the introduction of a friend to the main character just felt wrong. One of the main issues I had with the movie was the fact that in the end the main characters kiss. I get it but look at the original and see where they went wrong.I don't want to say more, I was trying to get my two cents out, see the original and then maybe see the remake, you will most likely not get the American version while the Korean version should draw you in from the very first minutes. The American version never does this.

I saw this film a while ago now, but I didn't forget it. It simply is one of those films that not a lot of people know, not a lot of people like, but I am one of those people. It just has something magical inside. I will confess that I've never seen the Korean version, but I do like this one very much. The cast was brilliant, the story, the film itself was so artsy, if that's the right word. Just beautiful. Now, I will not go into the details, because I may not remember everything clearly, but I do remember the end and as we all know, the endings are the best part and this film had a brilliant one. http://citizen-cinephile.blogspot.co.uk/

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!!!!!!!!
