Reviews for Sabrina
Not, as some reviewers claimed, a mediocre reworking of a Hollywood classic, but a truly lousy reworking of a Billy Wilder misfire.
05/27/08
Aside from the painfully miscast Ford, it is an enjoyable ride down a well-worn path.
07/30/02
Ugly-duckling-into-swan stories are fun, but the lead characters here lack the charisma to make this romantic comedy sufficiently believable or engaging.
10/18/08
Ormand and Ford, who are actually okay, have the impossible tasks of following Wilder's perfect players, Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart.
10/18/08
Ormond's face is certainly not hard to gaze at, but she looks so often ill at ease that her 'confident' gay smiles suggest, inappropriately, some masked pyschological distress.
06/24/06
Never evokes the sweet allure of Billy Wilder's original film.
01/01/00
Top CriticIt's hard to imagine any actress today reprising Audrey Hepburn's graceful charm, but British newcomer Julia Ormond is a particularly bad choice and Harrison Ford ain't Bogey, either. Add the film to long list of unnecessary remakes.

Go rent the Billy Wilder version and see how this should be done!
02/02/03
Proves too flimsy of a reed to be successfully replanted.
02/13/01
Top CriticWhile it can't hold a candle to Wilder’s film, the updated Sabrina has its moments.
01/01/00
No review available.

See the original.
05/07/05
Ford looks as stiff and old hat as his homburg.
05/12/01
Top CriticWe remain outside the fourth wall looking in but are never drawn in; bemused perhaps, even agreeably complaisant, but never entirely amused.
02/03/09
Top CriticThe remake, alas, must mask its failings with Julia Ormond's toothsomeness, Pollack's poky pacing and the uninspired scribblings of writers Barbara Benedek and David Rayfiel.
01/01/00
Top CriticThis new Sabrina is more fizzle than fizz.
02/03/09
Top CriticNot a bad remake.
12/01/03
Stands on its own, without odious comparison, as an entertaining love story, particularly if you've never seen the original.
