sedikit review nyotek dari www.imdb.com...


First off, there's Jin-Woo (Jung Woo-Sung of A Moment to Remember), a handsome, noble, but lunkheaded firefighter dating a sign language interpreter named Su-Jung (Im Su-Jung of A Tale of Two Sisters). It looks like the two are ready to take the next big step in their relationship, but Jin-Woo's unwillingness to give up his dangerous profession and his occasional obliviousness to Su-Jung's needs keeps derailing any plans for wedding bells between the two.

Su-Jung lives with her sister, the cheerful Su-Eun (Shin Min-Ah of A Bittersweet Life). Although she provides the occasional moral support for her sister and "brother-in-law," Su-Eun has problems of her own. While working at a theme park as a Raggedy Ann-like Snow White, she falls in love with a portrait painter named Sang-Gyu (Lee Ki-Woo). The only problem is that Su-Eun is a deaf mute with a scar on the side of her cheek, facts which prevents her from approaching Sang-Gyu without wearing her oversized mask and costume. With the help of her ridiculously cute co-workers, the Seven Dwarves, Su-Eun hopes to overcome her shyness and connect with the handsome artist.

Then there's Ju-Yung (Yeom Jung-Ah), a working mother whose commitment to her job causes a rift between her and her lonely son Hui-Chan (Yeo Jin-Goo). Things begin to change when Ju-Yung is caught in a car accident and sent to the hospital. While his mother is laid up in a hospital bed, Hui-Chan stumbles upon his mother's diaries and begins to learn the truth about his conception, birth, and early childhood. Soon, he begins to bond with his mother, just as she discovers that she's suffering from cancer.

Along the way, Hui-Chan crosses paths with Ha-Seok (Cha Tae-Hyun of My Sassy Girl), an unemployed shlub who makes extra money as a human punching bag for a local boxer. Meanwhile, his girlfriend Suk-Hyun (Son Tae-Yung) is sick of her dead-end job as a cashier and when Ha-Seok's credit card is declined at her place of employment, she realizes she's tired of waiting for her boyfriend to grow up and promptly dumps him. Ha-Seok begs her to give him a three month grace period and heads off seeking steady employment. After a chance encounter with a woman breaking up with her boyfriend, Ha-Seok hatches a scheme to start a "Separation Agency" that will break up relationships when one party is too scared to do it face-to-face. His wild idea quickly turns into a lucrative business, giving Ha-Seok hope that he'll finally win his girlfriend back.

At face value, Sad Movie is a collection of tried-and-true formulas. There's the couple with commitment issues, the shy girl caught up in a "Meet Cute" scenario with the boy of her dreams, the mother-son terminal illness tearjerker, and the gimmicky, high concept romantic comedy all on display in Sad Movie. While it's arguable that each story could stand on its own, it's perhaps wise that the filmmakers decided to intercut among the four. Not only does the decision make for a more involving film, but it also ensures that each storyline doesn't wear out its welcome.

Despite what the title suggests, Sad Movie is a consistently funny film. It has all the makings of a light, fluffy romantic comedy, but to its credit, it's a thoroughly enjoyable one. That's not to say that the film isn't full of emotion (as is the case with the mother-son cancer storyline), but much of Sad Movie is anything but sad or depressing. Ha-Seok's unflappable dedication to his new job, Hui-Chan's kiddy antics, Su-Eun's internal snarky commentary, and Jin-Woo's clueless behavior all provide ample chuckles throughout the picture. What stands out most about the film is how intensely likeable the all-star cast is, a quality that allows the viewer to immediately get involved in the story and hope things will work out for the best.
