CREATIVE QUOTIENT
It’s a high recall of the Hindi film Ugly Aur Pagli starring Mallika Sherawat and Ranvir Sheory. Both the latter and My Sassy Girl have their origins in a Korean film that has been credited by the Hollywood version as based on Jae-young Kwak ’s novel. The original saw actor Jeon Ji-Hyun shoot into prominence in the starring role that Elisha Cuthbert takes over here as Jordan Roark, the perpetually-drunk girl whom Charlie Bellow (Jesse Bradford) falls for when he saves her from injuring herself in the subway.

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
Both lead actors are good-looking, but they lack chemistry, making their meetings very superficial and cold. The movie has a slick ending, though the respective back stories detract from the main narrative. Director Yann Samuell and writer Victor Levin have done justice to this romantic comedy.
