Sabrina Reviews
Extraordinary filing skills by the crew
Remarkable movie. Ain’t gonna forget.
the character Sabrina is so unbelieveble
This idea of the filmmaker made the movie more accessible to more people.andThe director has once again managed to make a wonderful movie with good people. I liked it very much.
Greg Kinnear is underrated…
I wanted to like it, but I could not wait for it to be over. It's just odd, older man, younger woman.. boring.. I do not recommend. It is sinister for the first 90% of the movie and then tries to get cute. Weird plot. Like in 4th grade when we re-wrote Cinderella in different ways, except this was written by the son with mommy issues.. I'm not kissing this film shouldn't be on HBO
A nice take of a princess must choose between two princes who both fall in love with her in modern times.
LOL, the funniest 02 hours: and 07 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sabrina is quaint and pleasant. The tone of the film is nice, and I left thinking that it was a "fine" movie, though a bit bland. I would have liked more depth in Paris and a clearer perspective from the female protagonist. Harrison Ford's acting was stiff, and his reactions felt memorized rather than a give and take with the other actors. There was nothing over-the-top, inventive, or mind-blowing, and similarly there wasn't anything horrible, it was just a fine film.
Fans of the 1954 film will enjoy this more modern retelling of Sabrina, even if it doesn't improve or surpass the original. Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn are a tough act to follow no matter how good Ford and Ormand's chemistry is. The pace felt slower than it needed to be and some changes were unnecessary, but it remains a charming romance nonetheless.
Firstly, I should say that I don't particularly like the original movie either. I was never entirely convinced that Sabrina was actually in love with Linus or him with her. It's never entirely clear how much of his feelings are truly attached to her or if he's simply in love with the idea of being in love. This is a man who hasn't really engaged with his emotions much until the point where he tries to steal Sabrina away from his brother for purely materialistic reasons. His approach is cynical from the start and I'm never fully convinced that a man who has for decades been so emotionally detached and so driven by the pursuit of hard cash and power is really in love. I think a deep and lasting attachment would take more time to develop and some radical changes in perspective. Which just doesn't happen. Perhaps I'm as cynical as Linus but if Bogart couldn't convince me his character was actually in love and not simply enjoying a novel situation then Mr Ford cannot be too greatly criticized for failing as well. Frankly, I confess to being really irritated by these ugly duckling stories that involve women cutting their long wavy/curly hair and discarding their glasses, yes I mean you Princess Diaries. I find this trope trite and irritating. I hate to shatter Hollywood delusions but it is possible to have long curly hair and glasses and be attractive, I hoped this movie would ditch that old chestnut but it doesn't. I find both David and Linus to have unattractive personalities and keep feeling that Sabrina is far more in love with their life style than them. I'm not suggesting she's a gold digger, far from it. She was hooked as a child and starry eyed at their glamorous lifestyle. It's a love of fairytale glamour she has not managed to shake off. Yes, the brothers lifestyle is a fairytale to her and it is intended as one for audience as well but perhaps because I'm a Brit the American dream the brothers represent doesn't appeal to me. Pursuing, it in their own different ways, has made both men rather selfish. To me Linus does not grow during the course of the movie and if he and Sabrina deserve each other, it is perhaps only because both of them in their own way are just a tad needy. Sabrina for a father figure firmly centred in the real world and not in a book and Linus because he wants to see the world through her less jaded eyes. On the surface he seems, by the end of the movie, a better man than his brother, but is that really saying much? At the end of both movies the 1954 and 1995 one I switched off the 온라인카지노추천 in the firm belief that if the leads were a real couple their marriage was not likely to be a forever thing. You have to believe in the romance in a book or movie for it to be truly and satisfyingly entertained. I did not believe in this romance.
I do think that cast was okay. I should accept that Harrison Ford is better in this romance movie in comparison to Humphrey Bogart who was more rigid and although I adore Audrey Hepburn and all her movies, Julia Ormond was not that of a casting mismatch. However, there was something missing in this movie, a particular emotion that you should feel in a romance movie, and I really did not get how the relationship between the couple evolved into love.
Roger Ebert is right - just when you think that Hollywood could never produce a movie like Sabrina, they do it. This remake is a wonderful story well told with a cast that wonderfully fits the parts they play.
A bland experience. The attempts at humor fall flat and the relationships seem two dimensional, forced, and unnatural. Even with top names the acting is mediocre at best.
I don't know what it is about this movie, but it just feels so classic. Ormond brings such charm to the character of Sabrina, and her chemistry with Ford made the quick romance believable and enjoyable to watch.
I recently watched on 온라인카지노추천 the original Sabrina w Audrey Hepburn followed immediately by the remake with Julia Ormond. I have to say I preferred the remake. Humphrey Bogart seemed totally miscast in the original. He was too old & had no chemistry w Hepburn, in my opinion. I never believed they were in love. But Harrison Ford was attractive & had great chemistry w Ormand. He also had some witty lines that I found sweet, which were lacking in the original. I usually don't like remakes, but in this case the remake was much better because I found their romance believable. The critics & audience disagree w me based on their ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I guess you have to watch both & judge for yourself.
Sydney Pollack directs a movie about being in the world of money but also juggling love with classicism. Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, and Julia Ormond The Larabees are fabulously wealthy. Two brothers David and Linus. Linus pays for his well-being so he can stay in the higher class. The woman of his affection is Sabrina Fairchild, who over the years has spent time in Paris working for VOGUE magazine. Shes glamorous feeling she now belongs to the upper crowd and David is falling hard but in danger of breaking off his engagement to a headmistress' daughter. But Linus is also being drawn to her so it complicates things. Is it better he sees her so David isn't thrown off course? Or will Linus leave her the first chance he gets once things have settled down? There might be some things missing from his life being that he's only ever been good as a businessman. The music is charming, the actors are all likeable. Odd thing is that Greg Kinnear disappears for a good chunk of this. There is a lot of talking which slows things down for a bit. Not the traditional rom com. The original movie with Audrey Hepburn was better. But this still has likable stars.
It can't hope to capture the charm of the original but does a great job of creating its own.
Strengthened superbly from its considerable cast. Sabrina sprouts its romantically emotional touch with such spectacular splendor.
