Three years ago I was at a friends place, we couldn't figure out what to do so she "forced" me to watch "My sassy girl". From the look of the DVD cover I knew this was something I would not enjoy, the picture projected a film made of teen pop Hollywood garbage.
I reluctantly agreed to watch it for a while but I became interested after about 15 minutes. The first half I thought was pretty good, until I realized there was still a second half to this. The second half seemed to drag on and I was praying for it to end. The overtime made me frustrated because I thought this was becoming less of a movie and more of a TV series (in terms of length). And than it was over and I realized what an amazing film this was.
To keep this short I will tell you that I have directly "forced" about one hundred people to watch this film. The largest group I forced to watch "My sassy girl" occurred during two canceled lectures, students were sitting there bored so I popped this in. The class was made up of different social/racial/gender/whatever cross sections. Everyone watched the first half and they showed up and stayed for the final half the following week, some people even came up to tell me how much they liked it. Only 2 people have given bad responses, one person because he did not finish watching it and the other because she doesn't like watching a film with subtitles.
From the rating for this movie it is clear that there are people who hate this film, but if you belong to the other 85% of the population than you will love it.
Why did I like this movie? It was a "mystery" movie with clues throughout. They made an entire movie with (basically) two characters. There was no pointless tacked on sex, not even a kiss.
Watch the Directors Cut if you can. The movie was actually more enjoyable the second time around. 10/10
