Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

mackelaura I hate to say it, but I actually like this remake better than the original movie. And I love Audrey Hepburn. I love Bogart. But I don't think they quite click in the 1954 version. Okay, enough about the original. I love the actors in this remake. The chemistry is definitely there. And the love triangle is great. Not your typical love triangle either, by the way.The soundtrack is magical. And they did enough homage to the original version (using even much of Billy Wilder's script) to just perfect the movie. I love the Cinderella elements and Sabrina's time in Paris is perfectly depicted. And for a movie that was filmed 20 years ago, this movie has aged well. In fact, it seems pretty timeless.

vincentlynch-moonoi There's nothing wrong with this film. It's a good film. With fine actors and performances.But, no matter how wonderful he is, Harrison Ford is not Humphrey Bogart. Julia Ormond is not Audrey Hepburn. And Greg Kinnear is not William Holden.And I think the difference is most easily seen between Bogart and Ford. Ford is one of my favorite actors, and Bogart often wasn't (but every once in a while he was magnificent). But there was something very special and unique about Bogart in the original. Perhaps that it was so against type...making the transformation at the end so much more stunning. But just because you put a pair of professor-style glasses on Harrison Ford, doesn't mean you make him not-sexy (at least nearly 20 years ago when this film was made).People often ask is the story the same in the old and new versions. Superficially, yes. But in reality, there is a key difference. In the Bogart/Hepburn version, Bogart rather suddenly realizes he is in love with Sabrina. In this version, the love grows gradually and is fully realized by Harrison Ford...and confuses him.Another difference, in my view, is what each film "is". This version is a romance movie. The older version was a fairy tale.Harrison Ford is excellent here, and it occurred to me several times while watching the film that it's too bad we didn't see him more often in romantic roles during this career. Julia Ormond was excellent, as well, and it occurred to me that I hadn't seen much of her in recent years...but in looking it up I see that she has remained busy, but mostly not in leading roles. Greg Kinnear was one of those actors who kinda snuck up on me; this was his first significant role, and it made me realize that he was much more talented than I would have thought based on my former experiences seeing him on "Talk Soup".Angie Dickinson has a "nothing" role as the mother of "the other woman", and Richard Crenna's role as the father of the "other woman" was probably the least impressive work he has ever done on celluloid; he was really a very talented supporting actor. It was always a treat seeing Nancy Marchand in a film, and no exception to that here. John Wood as Sabrina's father...very good. A real gem of a performance, which may be often overlooked, is that of Dana Ivey, the secretary! I recommend both the original and this remake, although I doubt the remake will end up being the classic that the original was.

Sirus_the_Virus Harrison Ford, Julia Ormond, and Gregg Kinnear star in a remake of a 50's movie, originally starring Humphrey Bogart, called Sabrina. I hate to say it but I never saw that movie. But I did see this movie. This is a great movie. It's funny, and definitely romantic. The actors do a fantastic job. Especially Harrison Ford, playing the more likable brother.Harrison ford and Greg Kinnear play two brothers named Linus and David, sons of a tycoon in New York. David is engaged to one of their business partner's daughter(played by Lauren Holly). But he changes his mind when Sabrina(played by Julia Ormond), the daughter of their car driver and an old friend, returns from Paris.When she returns, the two of them plan on meeting up in the solarium. But that leads to an accident involving David. David's brother Linus has always had a crush on her too. So he offers to talk to her after the accident. While David lays injured in bed, Linus starts to hang out with her, and she soon starts to fall for him.Sabrina is a fantastic film. Sydney Pollack did such a great job making this movie. It's a shame he's not alive anymore.Cause he did great films. This was an odd one, and what was he doing in Made of honor? Lord knows. All of the actors do a great job. These are great actors. This is a great film.Sabrina: A

kyle-cruse "Sabrina" is a pretty easily likable romantic comedy, a genre of which I am a fan, even though it is hard to find good ones. This is a decent film, but now that I am comparing it to the 1954 original, it is easier for me to be critical. This movie has a good plot, some humor, and decent romance. Also, I am pleased to find movies like this with so little objectionable content, making it appropriate for the whole family, though the younger ones may not be completely interested. I hate to complain about this movie, but there are a few downsides. It runs too long overall, and it slows down too much toward the end. If you ask me, Harrison Ford doesn't really fit his role and seems to old and lifeless for the part he is intending to play. Also, I'm afraid Greg Kinnear simply cannot fill the brilliance of William Holden's shoes in the original. Julia Ormond takes Audrey Hepburn's role fairly well, but none of these three can possibly compare to the excellence of the original cast. The old film really was not outdated and didn't need to be updated, as films like "The Shop Around the Corner" or "The Parent Trap" did. Despite those things, I'm not going to criticize this film any more. It's good for a date film or when you don't want to think too hard but just want to be entertained and happy. I give it a slight recommendation, but I'd suggest the original with more priority.*** out of ****
