Miss Granny

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.

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.

I have just come home from the 2015 Korean film festival here in Budapest, and I want to tell you this film was a resounding success. It had everything and more: good story, creative script, good music & songs, good acting, good pace, hilarious humor. Already in the first 2 minutes it conveyed such a heart-felt lead-in that I knew I had made a good decision to give it a try.

All throughout the movie the audience - including me, of course - had a ball! We breathed with the film, laughed our guts out and simply marvelled at the freshness and at the style of the dialogues. I think I want to travel to Korea to see whether they really have such lively relations to one-another, way beyond the virtual emptiness we experience not-so-rarely in the western world...

To sum it up, this movie is a must! My rating: 10/10. Period.

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.

Excellent acting by lead actress.

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

Brilliant screenplay, kudos to the director
