Editorial Reviews

A remake of a 1954 Billy Wilder romance, this updated version of the play Sabrina Fair was directed by Sydney Pollack. Julia Ormond stars as Sabrina Fairchild, the daughter of a kindly chauffeur (John Wood) at the Long Island estate of the upper-crust Larrabee family. Sabrina has grown up enchanted from afar with the Larrabees' sparkling world of privilege and wealth, but she's especially enamored of younger Larrabee brother David (Greg Kinnear), a charming womanizer. After the once-plain Sabrina returns from a sojourn in Paris transformed into a remarkably poised and attractive young woman, she at long last catches David's eye. In a calculated effort to manipulate David away from her and into a more financially advantageous marriage, older brother Linus (Harrison Ford) pretends to woo Sabrina himself, but finds himself unintentionally falling in love.

Better Than The Original!by Anonymous

March 12, 2006: I love this movie. I actually like it better than the original Sabrina. The original movie is a good movie but I never felt that Sabrina really changed. Sure she came back from Paris looking beautiful and sophisticated but she still seemed to be the same neurotic girl pining for David and it seemed to me that she settled for Linus and there was no chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart. In this remake I felt that Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford had good chemistry and I felt that Sabrina actually came back from Paris as a much stronger woman than in the original and I actually could believe this Sabrina's falling in love with Linus.

He should have left it aloneby Anonymous

June 30, 2005: I have a lot of respect for Sydney Pollack: he's a top-notch director with first-rate credentials who spends his time making movies, not acting like a celebrity. When he was brought this project, however, (by Harrison Ford no less), he should have stayed with his intial instinct to reject it- as he repeatedly did. Instead, he finally caved and attempted to improve upon perfection. Too bad. This movie ends up being one of his lesser efforts, especially since comparisons to the original were inevitable. Like another reviewer here named Sandra, I found this a real disappointment. Ford is a poor substitute for the vulnerable, ironic Humphrey Bogart who was cast perfectly as the unlikely suitor that Sabrina ultimately chooses. To make matters worse, our Indian Jones hero is far too busy trying to monoplize the scenes and his lines in a desperate display of his own personal mid-life crisis [he just has to show he can still get the girl]. His is a pathetic and boring performance. For her part, Julia Ormond is simply gorgeous, but she lacks the coquettish charm of Audrey Hepburn. Furthermore, there is little chemistry between the two stars making us wonder how they could ever have made a match. As for William Holden, can't say that I had a crush on him, but he's a bit too formidable in his role as a carefree playboy to be replaced by a mere Greg Kinnear, who's not bad but not good enough. Updating the script for a modern setting did little to aid our handicapped cast as well. Indeed, it probably drew away from the central theme. Paris looked a little better in this remake, but then, that's not what the movie was about, was it. Do yourself a favor, avoid this film and rent the first one. Then, wait for something else by Pollack. He's actually a very good director.

About Sabrina

Parents need to know that the film opens with Sabrina's attempted suicide -- it's not a terribly disturbing or graphic scene, but for young or sensitive children, it's worth a parent preview.

Families Can Talk About

Families can talk about the issues of class raised in this film. How does Sabrina's father feel about class division? What about Mr. Larrabee? Why does Sabrina transfer her affection from David to Linus? She accepts the Larrabees' bargain in the end -- is it for the money? Sabrina doesn't want to be a cook like her mother. What are her other options?
