So terrible, I wanted to vomit!

So the producers of MY BIG FAT Greek WEDDING saw the Korean Version of MY SASSY GIRL and thought it would be a great idea to bring it to the American audience. The American version contained fragments of the original Korean version serving as its core plot line. All the moments that made the original My sassy girl movie memorable were ridiculously and terribly done in the American version. If the producers really wanted to give the American audience the same experience, all they had to do is translate word for word and scene by scene. How can they FAIL so BADLY when the story is already written!? It takes a genius to produce this piece of turd of a remake. The American version completely destroyed what made the original version GREAT.

The producers should learn from Quin Tarantino. If you like a foreign movie add subtitle and present it to the American audience. DON'T REMAKE THE DAMN THING!
