2. My Sassy Girl
Cast: Jesse Bradford, Elisha Cuthbert
“This is the story of the first and last time I fell in love,” pines Swimfan’s Bradford at the start of this idiosyncratic remake of the South Korean cult classic. Bradford’s the uptight college student who’s inexplicably wooed by Cuthbert’s boozy party girl. The delightfully capricious Cuthbert’s everything the bland Bradford isn’t, which means much of My Sassy Girl’s attention is devoted to her teaching him how to enjoy life. But that’s OK. Director Yann Samuell brings a whimsical touch to the love affair that makes this more beguiling than any other recent Generation Y rom-com.
