Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk 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 ISabrina/I. 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 modernised: 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 light-hearted romantic comedy. --IJenny Brown/I

Why bother when no one could be as beautiful as Audrey Hepburn? When I saw it in the cinema I thought it was good but the orginal was better. Later on when I saw the movie again I reconsidered. The chemistry between Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond is fantastic, you can feel it coming through the screen.

Harrison Ford is superb as the cold and unfeeling Linus. The best line is 'Do they call me the world's only living heart donor ?' Julia Ormond plays a fantastic girl next door turned sophisticated woman to adore.pGet your missus, get out the popcorn and watch this film, it's funny and charming but not sentimental. These qualities are sadly very rare in today's films. harison ford's best romance April 29, 2000 3 out of 4 found this review helpful Harison Ford has always been my favorite actor. I have watched every of his films especially Indiana Jones and Star Wars. Since I am a romantic person, this film will always be my favorite film. And if you call yourself romantic than you must see this film too. Classic remake of an all time classic July 28, 2007 C. Richards (de) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful A fairy tale with imagination and originality. br / br /It was always going to be hard to beat the original Hepburn and Bogart, but it compliments and modernises it nicely: Witty dialogue, charming and credible behaviour without clumsy stereotyping, lovely supporting cast and of course top class leads (just a hint of ham, not out of place in the fairy tale genre). br / br /Now: Must rush off and see it again!
