Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An ugly duckling having undergone a remarkable change still harbors feelings for her crush: a carefree playboy but not before his business-focused brother has something to say about it. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/25/2005 Starring: Harrison Ford Julia Ormond Run time: 127 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Sydney Pollack

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

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - No chemistry but otherwise, great
I have not seen the orginal version of this movie, so I cannot comment on this as a remake, but I do like this movie. There doesn't seem to be much chemisty between the two main characters, so when they fall in love, it doesn't seem that believable, but almost everything else about this film is engaging. It's an enjoyable movie to watch and most of the characters are interesting in their own right and well-played by the actors.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - J's Opinion
I loved this movie!!! The original of course is the best, but I must say that Harrison Ford still hasn't lost the touch. I love the actors they used and the paris setting make you want to go visit. You should buy this movie. I watch it every week at least 2X!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Sabrina
I had this video years ago but either loaned it out or misplaced it.
This was a replacement.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Well done remake of a classic Cinderella story
Sabrina (Julia Ormond) has lived her life above the wealthy Larrabee garage all her life, watching the fabulous parties, dreaming of the youngest son, David (Greg Kinnear). When the poor chauffeur's daughter gets a chance to go away to Paris to work on "Vogue" magazine, she comes back transformed.

Meanwhile, David's engaged now to a young doctor, Elizabeth Tyson (Lauren Holly) whose family is also an excellent match for the Larrabees. The Tyson family owns a patent that eldest son Linus ... Read More
