Storyline

My Sassy Girl is the tale of the first and last time Charlie Bello falls in love. From their initial meeting, trouble is the name of the game. Imagine an amorphous mass of dating disasters and you get an idea of the relationship between the young couple. Some mysterious force with the strength of gravity between two planets must be at play between Charlie and Jordan as the relationship truly makes no sense on the surface. Everything seems pitted against the two of them. Things suddenly come to a halt when the two write letters confessing their love for each other. Agreeing to meet a year later to read the love letters together, Charlie and Jordan go their separate ways.

User Reviews

Impressive Elisha Cuthbert

Even if the movie doesn't start that well, with the acting really unconvincing, it gathers quality in the second part. I think it is quite underrated, maybe 9/10 it's quite generous of me, but I must admit that the park scene is just beautiful. And the way that Elisha Cuthbert is dressed and how well she plays that scene made me more generous to a movie that, being objective, I would rate 7/10. It is a rare movie of Elisha in which she has a really strong role, and it's not a highschool movie, or a horror movie. I think this lady can bring so much more out of her talent. Also Jesse Bradford is not the best choice for this role, but nonetheless the storyline is well written. I must admit I didn't see the originalmovie, but still with the bad U.S.A style of romantic movie, I really liked it, and I would recommend it to anybody who is fascinated by the beautiful face of Elisha Cuthbert and who goes into this types of movies.
