We remain outside the fourth wall looking in but are never drawn in; bemused perhaps, even agreeably complaisant, but never entirely amused.

Reviews for Sabrina
This new Sabrina is more fizzle than fizz.

Top CriticSydney Pollack directs with the sort of polish that was easy to take for granted two decades ago but almost looked like classicism in 1995.
02/03/09
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
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
A flaccid remake of the classic 1954 romantic comedy.

It'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.
09/18/07
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.

A lovely, underrated update...

Blossoming into radiant color, this film has picture-postcard charms that the black-and-white earlier version could only hint at.
