Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

Julia Ormond faced one of the great challenges of her career when she tried to re-create Audrey Hepburn's title role in the 1995 remake of 1954's Sabrina. Happily, Ormond performed admirably, and while she may not have the same gamine charm of Hepburn, she makes the role her own. In fact, her transformation from mousy girl to sophisticated young woman is actually more dramatic in this updated version. The basic plot is the same--chauffeur's daughter falls in love with the son of the rich household, only to be wooed away by the older brother for business purposes--but it has been entertainingly modernized: The head of the Larrabee household is the strong matriarch (Nancy Marchand); Sabrina goes to Paris to work with a photographer instead of going to cooking school (although that means the wonderful "new egg" scene of the original had to be ditched); David's (Greg Kinnear) character has been toned down and made more sympathetic; and Humphrey Bogart's revolutionary plastic has become the flattest TV screen ever made. Lauren Holly does a fine job playing Elizabeth Tyson, David's fiancée. If you watch this for its own worth--instead of comparing it to the original--this will prove to be a terrific lighthearted romantic comedy. --Jenny Brown

1.0 out of 5 stars NO COMPARISON TO THE OLD VERSION!!!, Sep 18 2003
By 
Charlotte "gotshakespeare" (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sabrina (VHS Tape)
If you ever liked the old version with Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn, don't even look at this one! The comparison to Bogart to Ford is zip, nada, nothing!!! The wonderful music from the old Sabrina didn't appear in this one... they barely put in "La Vie en Rose" one of the most romatic songs from the old version! I guess I'm too much of a Bogart fan to allow any man to take his place. Harrison Ford, I think, was much past his prime in this movie... And nobody can say the wonderful lines Boggy did... "It's all in the family"... Whenever Ford said all the lines, they just fell flat. Anyway... If you liked the old one, don't watch this one! I guess if you are a great fan of Ford you might enjoy it, but other than that, I don't think anyone can compare to Bogart, Hepburn, and Holden! Watch the OLD one! NOT the new!!! I promise you'll enjoy the old one much better!

1.0 out of 5 stars How Come I'm the Only Person who Hated this Movie?, Aug 20 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Sabrina (VHS Tape)
I like most movies, and don't tend to be picky, but...why did they even bother to remake the original? Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart certainly don't need updated versions. Julia Ormond is lovely, but she cannot act. Perhaps the director knew this; there are about a million close-ups of her face, with no dialogue. But a lot of people seemed to love this movie, so maybe I missed something. I can't imagine what.

2.0 out of 5 stars Faulty Movie, July 24 2011
This review is from: Sabrina (Widescreen) (DVD)
Hello -
I have watched this movie once - and found a faulty place in the middle - the movie fluttered for a period of time - this was relieved by fast forwarding to another place in the DVD. If this movie could be replaced, I would appreciate it. This is one of my favorite movies - but this DVD is faulty.
