Editorial Review:
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
Sabrina [Region 2] Reviews:
Not as good as the old version 
2009-09-01 - It is a good moovie, but the old one is better. The problem is, surpassing Audrey Hepburn's breath-taking beauty is a mission impossible. God made only one Hepburn.
Sabrina DVD Review 
2009-08-25 - This version of Sabrina is good, but not as good as the 1954 film directed by Billy Wilder. I thought Harrison Ford wearing the old-style hat looked somewhat outmoded.
A Romantic Comedy For All Ages Starring...INDIANA JONES???!!! Quite A Pleasant Surprise. 
2009-08-04 - Sydney Pollack's remake of the movie starring Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden is very well done. Aside from some mild language, the movie is family-friendly. The plot is probably familiar to even those who haven't seen the original version directed by Billy Wilder (I sure haven't), but the remake is very entertaining, humorous, engaging and...words simply fail to describe this enjoyable confection of a movie. Indiana Jones himself, Julia Ormond and Greg Kinnear star.
Everyone involved in this movie did a wonderful job. And...John Williams, what else can be said? The man is simply another Mozart in composing music for movies (virtually every film for Steven Spielberg, the "STAR WARS" movies, "Superman: The Movie," etc); his work is simply brilliant. Everything he touches turns to gold. Enough said. Be prepared to find your heart. Rated PG for mild language.

2009-06-08 - Love, love, love this this movie! I could watch it a hundred times... A classic romantic love story that never gets old.
