My Sassy Girl (American version)

Point I Fell Asleep: 0:30 out of 1:35 (32%)
Location: Home
Time I Started Movie: Primetime
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404254/

First of all, leave it up to the Americans to ruin a perfectly good Korean movie. You can NOT cast Elisha Cuthbert in this role. You need a crazy girl to play the part; Elisha's too "Barbie doll." You need the girl from "Juno" or the girl from "Single White Female" when she was a teenager. Secondly, the movie was so bad that half way through, I decided to watch it on my computer while chatting with friends online; yup, I stopped giving it my undivided attention. I can only count ONE scene that actually made me laugh in the entire movie, and it was the part when he steps up to a urinal and sees his date pee'ing beside him. The Korean version was a romantic drama that had unintentionally funny scenes in it. This remake was also a romantic drama but the comedy felt forced, which in the end, doesn't make it funny at all. Plus, the Korean version pulled at the heart strings and made you want to cry; this one made me thank God that the movie was over. I took one for the team on this one. You guys owe me!
