Sabrina

Summary: BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF SABRINA.
Review: I Am an avid Audrey Hepburn fan, but I have to admit that the remake of Sabrina is much better than the originial version. Not because of Julia Ormond, but because of Harrison Ford. He brought the character of Linus to life. He made me believe that Linus was the crude businessman, yet somehow humanized him into a character that could fall in love and have a life. I must admit that as much as I love Bogey, I liked Ford better as Linus. The chemistry between Ormond and Ford was definitely there. I would love to see these two play opposite on another project. This is certainly a movie to have in your private collection.

Summary: A true romance
Review: It's a pity that this movie did not fare well at the box office - a truly clever, entertaining romantic comedy that you could see again and again. Looking forward to Sydney Pollack's coming collaboration with Harrison Ford in Random Hearts ...

Summary: It makes you fall in love all over again!
Review: A wonderful performance by all. Ford is so charming as he bumbles his way into Ormonds heart.(and the viewers). The original has always been my favorite movie, but this remake outshines. I have both in my collection and find them both charming and enjoyable. It just makes you feel good.

Summary: Absolutely the best romantic comedy I've ever seen...
Review: I saw the first Sabrina when I was about 12 years old, and remember the "egg cracking" scene. I even attempted to do it. (And succeeded). However, the remake is much more in tune with today's lifestyles. This is definitely a movie for those hopeless romantics out there. I could watch it every day and not get tired of it. Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond had outstanding performances in this picture. This is one movie you don't want to miss. I bought it for my private collection and have not been sorry.

Summary: This should rate 10 stars!
Review: This is a movie that we watch about once a week, and we enjoy it more each time. This is the first Harrison Ford movie we purchased, and we fell in love with him. We (my husband and I) have not been to a movie theater in 25 years - we were - and still are - disillusioned with what Hollywood has had to offer. Therefore, knowing the quality of the performances of Harrison Ford, we are assured of a superb movie. Harrison Ford is the best thing that has happened to cinema since Technicolor!

Summary: This is one of the best romance movies out there.
Review: I loved the entire movie. Both Ford and Ormond acted beautifully. They really brought the story to life. It is one of the best movies I have ever seen. I recommend it to anyone looking for a romantic comedy.

Summary: More touching than the original
Review: One of my all-time favorite movies. The communication and development between characters is more mature than the original. It is more romantic and believable than the original too. I have watched it 50 times and see something new each time. Perfectly cast and cleverly played, the sublime humor fits this "better than the original" version to a tea. I'm waiting for it to come out on DVD.

Summary: Corrects the many plot/character flaws of the original.
Review: The first major flaw in the original is Sabrina's attempted suicide. It is unbelievable and makes her a much weaker character than in the remake. The new Sabrina would never hurt her father that way and in spite of her obsession with David, she has a quiet inner strength that develops throughout the film. The pathetic presence of the father in the original is marvelously corrected in the remake. With Linus as the paternal figurehead and his mother as the strong matriarch of the family, the entire atmosphere changes for the better. David Laraby is far better cast not as a man who can't stay married but as a good man who just needs to rise up from under Linus' shadow. The "new" David has character and charm and likability far superior than the original. The viewer likes him even though he doesn't necessarily like what he does. The characters in the remake are far more believable, the dialog is clever, memorable, and very funny in many places. The romance between Linus and Sabrina develops far more believably in the 1995 version. This Sabrina is very wise and digs deep into Linus' soul and shows him things about himself he has never seen. He is at first uncomfortable with that, but it ultimately does a transformational work in him. Another serious flaw in the original is the quickness with which Sabrina forgives the horrible things Linus has done to her. Linus has deeply violated and hurt her. In the remake she does not just fall into his arms at first sight of him. Linus must reach deep into her heart and heal the wounds he has caused. He opens up to her in a way he has never done to anyone and admits that she is the key to "saving" him from himself. Finally totally convinced of his sincerity and love, she falls into his arms. Critics are right when they say there is no comparison between the original and the remake. But far too many of them favor the wrong movie. The 1995 Sabrina will be a classic in its own right. It's excellent! It's a shame it has not yet gotten its much deserved credit.

Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER MADE!
Review: Ok, seriously people, this was the best movie i've ever seen. I like the way it showed Sabrina, a young girl who was considered a nobody, finding herself in Paris. This would encourage others to do the same...including me. Watch this inspiring movie, you'll feel different.
