Elisha Cuthbert – My Sassy Girl

My Sassy Girl was a straight to DVD release movie that debuted in August 2008. It was unfortunate that the US version of the movie did not do so well as the original Korean film in 2001. My Sassy Girl was a remake of that film since it was so highly successful. This romantic comedy is about two characters: Jordan Roark, played by Elisha Cuthbert and Charlie Bellow, played by Jesse Bradford. Charlie is a Midwestern “nice guy” who moves to New York for the first time. He is naïve and hasn’t yet been tainted by the big city lifestyle. He finds Jordan passed out drunk on a subway platform and tried to take care of her. Although he ends up being in jail for his troubles, they remain friends, but Charlie plays the role of just a caregiver and emotional tampon to Jordan. He continues to be her friend even after emotional, verbal, and psychological abuse from her. Before they go their separate ways, they agree to write each other a letter that they’ll read a year later. But unbeknownst to either of them, they both confess their love to each other in that letter. This movie only got rated 5.8 stars out of 10 on imdb.com and not even enough votes for a rating on RottenTomatoes.com. The US version unfortunately did not live to the hype of the original Korean version. For comparison purposes, on imdb.com the original version of The Sassy Girl scored 8.2 out of 10 stars. With a pretty considerable difference, some people suggest to only watching the remake to know how remarkable the Korean version is in comparison. But a real Elisha Cuthbert fan would watch the remake anyway because how gorgeous she is on the big screen. < Prev   Next >
