second by vaibhav	Mar 28th, 2008 05:53:57 AM
this is gonna suck so bad. the original korean is one of my fav. films ever.
favorite by markmiho	Mar 28th, 2008 06:10:22 AM
The original Korean movie could have used some editing but it is still one of my all time favorite movies. The two Korean leads do an amazing job and the preview doesn't give me much hope that Cuthbert's performance will be even close to Jeon Ji-hyun's in this role.

The green colour-filter? makes it look like "Midnight Meat Train".
eh by MrMonkey	Mar 28th, 2008 06:49:08 AM
this looks on the verge of being ok... the dialog is kinda cheesy kinda ok... and well your right about the music seeming to ruin it... I dont want to see I dont want to avoid it... its just meh
Elisha is Hot.... by travis-dane	Mar 28th, 2008 06:57:10 AM
Damn!
never heard of the original by The Amazing G	Mar 28th, 2008 07:00:41 AM
wut
My Sassy White Girl by Mrs. Harry Knowles	Mar 28th, 2008 07:13:40 AM
I wonder if they'll keep the "fake abortion" scene.
Trailer for the original here by Splicer	Mar 28th, 2008 07:30:03 AM
Youtube.... watch?v=mZQCHWOM9bw I don't see this working. Wrong leading actors. Wrong country and culture. Just wrong.
Not Elisha I'm Worries About by gaboosh	Mar 28th, 2008 07:31:32 AM
I can't take Jesse Bradford's voice. Or his face. Or his acting.
Er, Worried. by gaboosh	Mar 28th, 2008 07:32:11 AM

At least... by topdolla69	Mar 28th, 2008 07:52:47 AM
McG didn't have anything to do with this one
I'm shocked by thatpeterguy	Mar 28th, 2008 08:04:31 AM
That actually looks like it was done by a director who puts thought into his work. The original wasn't very good but it still had its charm, but in a very Korean way. It looks like they only borrowed the "sassy girl" aspect of it and created their own little story. I'd check it out.
Hello, i´m an American remake by CuervoJones	Mar 28th, 2008 08:17:20 AM
Who cares? Shut up and fuck off!
Maybe it's just the preview... by Metrogenic	Mar 28th, 2008 09:21:42 AM
But everything just looks spelled out, flat, and way too slapstick. Could be the song in the background, could be Jesse Bradford's voice...I'll have to wait and see. Not getting my hopes up for this one though.
NO! by Aznbuddy	Mar 28th, 2008 09:33:54 AM
Ever since I heard about the remake, I've had no hopes for this crap. Why "remake"? DO they hope to win over fans of the original Korean version? This film will never touch the tenderness, intimacy or zaniness of the original. Nonononononon onononononononononononono! NO!!!
Guess the concept was too good not to remake. by Knuckleduster	Mar 28th, 2008 09:56:56 AM
Still, can't they come up with their own shit?
by the way	Mar 28th, 2008 10:58:09 AM
WHAT'S WITH THIS CHICK FLICK SHIT!?!
The original is one of the most romantic... by topaz4206	Mar 28th, 2008 11:06:57 AM
movies I have ever seen. When the ending comes, you actually feel love between these two characters, something few movies are able to accomplish during their running time. This remake looks (and sounds) like horseshit. Good day.
Wonder if they'll leave in the time travel... by Kasch	Mar 28th, 2008 12:35:48 PM
Seriously, I hate romantic comedies but the original was a wonderful movie that had a lot going on under the surface. That said, they'll probably eliminate the deeper elements (like the time travel stuff) and dumb the whole thing down.
Looks like absolute CRAP by Proman1984	Mar 28th, 2008 12:45:22 PM
I think I better watch the original KOREAN movie.
They're not going to put the deep stuff in the trailer by themikejonas	Mar 28th, 2008 12:53:58 PM
So, given that the remake director's the guy who gave us the excellent (and actually rather thematically compatible) "Love Me If You Dare," I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. We've seen good films done an injustice by their trailers before.
Just to prove my point... by themikejonas	Mar 28th, 2008 01:11:41 PM
Here's the original's real trailer (Splicer's link was to a fan-made one): http://rurl.org/mac Unsubbed, but I'm sure you can tell that none of the "deep stuff" is there.
HATE IT. by goodwolf82	Mar 28th, 2008 04:08:42 PM
Make it go away. The original rocked.
Proof that Western remakes of Asian classics are usually nightma by goodwolf82	Mar 28th, 2008 04:13:40 PM
I give you Saban's Westernized version of Sailor Moon: youtube.c om/watch?v=C1JmUcC9rss
My Crappy Girl. by 3 Bag Enema	Mar 28th, 2008 04:20:47 PM
I wouldn't even see this if I were in it. Stay home and watch the original.
My pointless remake by ironic_name	Mar 28th, 2008 06:02:51 PM
ee-hyuk! we don't got none a that learnin' sose we kin't read them sub-turlets. uh-hyuk!
Was the Original guy so Unlikable? by grfrog	Mar 28th, 2008 06:03:03 PM
Maybe I saw a different translation. Or maybe it's just that I'm a dick myself, and my judgment is clouded because of it. Either way This looks painfully depressing. The leads just come across as that horrible blandness type that seem to be so popular these days, and the bits they did lift from the original look to be just horrible executed. So much of the original hinged on cultural context and the age of the leads in that context, Was shoe horning it onto a standard American "hip" late 20's early 30's cookie cutter Romantic comedy really the way to go?
read this script 2 years ago by SpazmoCalrissian	Mar 28th, 2008 06:53:21 PM
it was alright...better than the other shit i read while i was at gold circle...schumachers was maybe the best
DTV by goodwolf82	Mar 28th, 2008 08:14:38 PM
Has there ever been another romantic comedy to sent directly to video? Will this be the first?
"If Elisha Cuthbert can pull this off, she’ll change her career" by ginrei724	Mar 28th, 2008 08:35:21 PM
Yeaaaaaaah, riiiiiight. Why even humor ourselves? It will come nowhere near the orig. The way the girl treats the guy is only funny when placed in an environment (like an Asian country) where the men are normally treated like this by their women... In the US, it'll just make the guy look like the world's biggest pussy, and the girl the world's biggest cunt. This movie will blow.
Elisha, don't pull it off yet! You have to go back to 24! by MrMysteryGuest	Mar 28th, 2008 11:22:32 PM

Elisha Cuthbert should just play Supergirl by DarthBakpao	Mar 29th, 2008 01:43:08 AM
http://www.iskandarsalim.com/i mages/art_elisha.jpg This My Sassy Girl remake is SASSYLESS than the original
SASSYLESS! by DarthBakpao	Mar 29th, 2008 01:44:55 AM
It would be better if they just stole the idea and make a "new" movie, rather than raping the original one. This should apply to all asian "remakes".
I really hope they keep the steamy sex scene intact by DarthBakpao	Mar 29th, 2008 01:51:37 AM

MUSE should sue for copyright infrigement by Detective_Fingerling	Mar 29th, 2008 01:09:21 PM
The first bit of music in the trailer is the exact same thing as Muse's song "Starlight", only with a casio keyboard instead of real instruments. Oh, and this movie looks horrible.
not so sassy by anniem	Mar 31st, 2008 11:10:29 AM
heard it's not good
