    Interesting and enjoyable

    Miss Granny was a great idea that was implemented in a very watchable way. I wanted it to last longer because the story really drew me into it. Eun-kyung Shim was convincing in her role as a young granny. I'm not sure if she was singing or lip syncing but the voice had impact and was a pleasure to listen to.

    A Cute and Funny Hit

    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.

    Formulaic but it works for the most part

    I didn't think this was a laugh out movie in my opinion. But it kept me entertained throughout. This has most of the formulaic elements for a Asian comedy, but for the most part it actually works. This takes on the what if scenario, of what a granny would do if she got her youth back to when she was in her 20's. Sure a lot of stuff is far-fetched and the dialogues not completely believable. But for a comedy such as this, it still works out when you think about it. Eun-kyung Shim did a good job for the most part impersonating a granny, although some parts can be rough around the edges. But that actually makes this movie work for the better in a sense. This is a inside joke movie, where the audience knows what is going on but the characters have no idea. But like I said, most of the formulaic elements work. The thing is, everyone wants a second chance to accomplish the things they may have missed out on after realizing. So for teens, they can get a good laugh and adults can get some amusement out of this because they can be able to connect. However what matters is to let go of the things you can't change and do the best you can in the present.

    A feel-good entertainment

    "Miss Granny" is a funny, sweet and compelling drama that would bring joyful feeling during seeing it. Actually the movie is far from perfect, the theme is kind of weird and illogical but wouldn't bother much if audience could deal with it. The storyline itself isn't focus between reaching the dream, family relationship and love story, it would feel like watching drama series in one film. Also there are some plot holes and questionable ending. Luckily all that flaws could be covered by hilarious and heartfelt moment. The jokes really work especially after Oh Mal-soon becoming young again. It's a unique yet convincing performance by Eun Kyung Shim as a young lady with granny personality has delivered a non- stop laughs. Overall "Miss Granny" is an average good Korean drama which offers entertainment and happiness, but it's still been miles away on being excellent.
