• The reason I watched this is because I’ve only heard good things about this movie.
• The film never really captured my attention.
• I just could not connect with the characters.
• The saving point for me is that My Sassy Girl is a great story about getting over loss and heartbreak, and being able to move on.
• If you like hilarious films with a strong female lead then this is for you.

My Rating –  7.5/10
