On yet another trip to the library for some books for Harry, I couldn't resist another look at the DVDs shelf which is very conveniently located by the checkout counter, so you can't help but look as you're waiting in line! There were lots of films there but this one grabbed my attention as I remembered I'd seen an advert for it on another DVD I'd watched a while ago. I knew it had looked good then, so I decided to take a chance on this little film, and the result was a very pleasant and surprising watch indeed!
This film is actually a remake of a Korean film from 2001 entitled "Yeopgijeogin geunyeo" which is My Sassy Girl when translated. It tells the tale of 2 strangers who form a close bond in a short period of time. Charlie Bellows is a business major whose life is changed in a second when he saves Jordan from dieing on the subway ...
Advantages: Easy listening, humorous banter Disadvantages: Not for the young
for an alternative, and then my husband suggested we try Radio 2, the only station he was able to receive on the battered old radio installed in his clapped out works van. He'd listened to Sarah Kennedy's breakfast show, known as the Dawn Patrol, a few times, and said that he'd quite liked it, being similar to the kind of thing we had been used to. I must confess, I'd never had any time for Game for a Laugh, the TV programme in which Sarah had been one of four presenters some years back, and which was the only time I'd ever heard of her, but we decided to give the show a hearing. It turned out to be a good decision, and the bedside radio alarm is now permanently set for 6am, when Sarah's show begins.
The show lasts for one and a half hours only, relatively short for a radio programme, but as lots of people are getting ready for and travelling to work ...
Advantages: Good balance of comedy and drama, good performances, quirky. Disadvantages: Horrid soundtrack, Samantha Mathis.
The only reason I had a watch of Jack and Sarah was the constant comments I kept reading about how Kevin Smith's Jersey Girl was little more than a remake of it. While there are certainly some similar plot points, on the whole though I would say that the two are entirely different. The best part though was finding a nice little film that I probably would have missed otherwise.
Walking the line between drama and comedy is not an easy one for any film. If you're trying to push serious themes, it becomes difficult to crack jokes at the same time. Likewise, a dramatic event in a comedic film can be a very jarring experience that works against the film. I'm glad to say though that Jack and Sarah balances between the two very steadily, only stumbling from time to time.
The film focuses on Jack (Richard E Grant), a London lawyer who ...
