It's easy to be cynical about Hollywood's efforts to remake Asian hits for an Amrican audience when the results are as poor as they are here. A lacklustre effort that fails to generate even a smidgen of the Korea original, 'My Sassy Girl' falls flat on almost every count.
It's surprising, actually, given the talent involved. Yann Samuel, who directed the devilishy funny 'Love Me If You Dare', helms the picture, and it stars Jesse Bradford as well as the lovely Elisha Cuthbert. They're all good in their own rights, but somehow the chemistry never quite works.
'Love Me If You Dare' had a similar premise, actually, and it's surprising that Samuel never quite finds the right tone here. Neither he nor his actors ever get into a comfortable rhythm.
