where 5 is a movie which makes you hit the bottle with vengeance
I watched this 3 years back and I was dumbfounded. I was in a way a RomCom virgin - hadn't seen Four Weddings and a Funeral, Love Actually or Bridget Jones Diary - I guess I was saving myself for Sad Movie :-) It made me cry! ME!!!
I watched it again today and it doesn't do that to me anymore. I attribute it to a happy marriage and a steady dosage of romantic comedies.
The only difference from the regular Hugh Grant/Colin Firth crap here is that this is SAD. Capital SAD. The director is a sadist. He creates lovable characters, ensures the script is replete with the tiniest of details to connect the right dots and then makes it tragic to the point that you feel like shooting him. The film is anyway so brilliant in terms of the script and the acting that he could've got an 8.5 on imdb by ending it happily - it is a 7.4 and hardly anyone knows about it while My Sassy Girl is being watched by the jersey cows of a DLF sellout farmer in haryana hinterland.
The cows are called Wellington and Princeton!!
