Miss Granny

Excellent acting by lead actress.

Surprised to see rating 7 for this movie, this movie deserves atleast 8.

Brilliant screenplay, kudos to the director

Its been a long time I didn't see any good comedy from Korea since "How to Use Guy with Secret Tip" (2013) and "All About My Wife" (2012). This movie is so good! About an old granny who turned out to be 20 again and its so funny to see how she manage to handle the unexpected miracle ever. Korean young actress, Shim Eun-Kyung plays the role so well as a young woman who acts like a granny. Although everyone keep whining about the plothole in this movie but this movie works. It can make you laughing out loud and also can make you crying like a baby. This movie is supposed to be an easy movie with an interestingly catchy premise. Maybe its a culture different since some audience feel weird why there is a lot of character here speak so loud. You will understand if you have watch a lot of korean movie. By the way, the song is so heartwarming and its make me want to buy the soundtrack now. Don't waste your time anymore, just watch this movie. The best korean comedy so far in 2014.

Another clever story from South Korea that would resonate with most Americans. Clean and funny. Musical numbers are listenable. Storyline somewhat raises the difficult question faced by so many families: Are retirement homes really the best option? The story went several unexpected directions, which will keep viewers guessing about the ending. While there are a few plot holes near the end, they get buried and forgotten by several really huge waves of emotion.

Such an amazing feel good film. I laughed out loud, actually cried at one point and enjoyed it from start to finish. All the actors are wonderful and really portray a story that is believable from start to finish. Basically, a grandma gets a chance at life at 20 and ends up singing for a band. Because of who she is, she brings quite an original awkward style with her and it works. Shim plays the role superbly and it's really hard to believe that she was just 20 when she made the movie last year. She's a serious comedic talent. I look forward to seeing her go far. I even just downloaded the soundtrack, it's a keeper. Enjoy.

I, as usual, love how korean movies incorporate good writing, whatever the story is. And Miss Granny adds one more aspect to it: cuteness.
