Steineded How sad is this?

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

dsmith-25000 A very nice movie if you can get around the plot holes.You have to get around the idea that Sabrina falls out of love with David (who she has had a crush on for years) and into love with Linus in three days.Sabrina is flying back from France and taking Long Island Railroad (LIRR) to the Glen Cove station where she meets David by accident. But the LIRR didn't service Idlewild Airport (now JFK Airport). in 1954 (and still doesn't), You would have to take a bus or taxi (today a subway) to a LIRR station and then change. Also LIRR is a commuter rail (basically just an above ground subway), not an intercity rail line. This isn't practical for a lady with three suitcases and one dog. She would most likely take a taxi all the way home.At the end of the movie, Linus rushes to a tugboat to join Sabrina on the SS Liberte. Problems: Ticket had been changed from Linus' name to David's. Would the ship stop for a late passenger arriving by tugboat? Did Linus have his passport? He had no luggage. He would only have the little cash he was carrying. Except for Diners' Club, charge cards didn't exist.When Linus discussing plans to send Sabrina back to France he points out the Liberte dock (which would have been further north on the west site of Manhattan) from one window. Later in the final boardroom scene, you see the Staten Island Ferry (on the south tip of Manhattan) from another window. But it isn't clear if in the Larrabee building (show as located at 30 Broad St. near NY Stock Exchange) , they could see both the route of the Ferry and the dock for the Liberte , even when using different windows.Also note that in the final boardroom scene, you can see Staten Island Ferry and a large barge moving from left to right. If you watch closely, you will see that the scene is repeated several times.

elvircorhodzic SABRINA is a very sweet, romantic comedy. A typical film of Cinderella, who is pretending to belong to the refined society and capture the rich, beautiful and charming prince. In this case, two ... Prince. One is good-natured, but spoiled womanizer and the other is a workaholic and businessman.This is an extremely funny comedy, which somehow works unconvincing. Love is gentle, but it lacks of sincerity.The film is emphasized by certain forms of irony. The story is fabulous and, fortunately, is not intrusive. The emphasis is on humor, from which permeate some serious romantic scenes. Everything is simple, even predictable. However, therein lies the beauty of this film. The scenario is quite "washed" and definitely could have been better. Characterization is satisfactory. The focus is on the relationship between daughter and father. That relationship really works extraordinarily.Actors are the biggest advantages of this film. I'm not particularly brag acting. Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina Fairchild is naive, enthusiastic and charming girl who wins with her eyes and a smile and simply exudes warmth and tenderness. Ms. Hepburn was a beautiful lady with a lot of style and acting range. Humphrey Bogart as Linus Larrabee is pretty slick and really in this film can be seen ease of his acting. Workaholic stumbles because of true love. It's a little too much for Mr. Bogart. William Holden as David Larrabee is excellent in the role of a spoiled playboy, who in the most important part of the film has to remove the glass from his own ass. It is a simple flaw in the script. Otherwise, I am convinced that we should enjoyed in excellent and very comical love triangle. John Williams as Thomas Fairchild, Sabrina's father is my favorite in the movie, very funny and excellent in his comments relating to the class difference.Well, this is a typical Hollywood comedy with outstanding actors.

jacobs-greenwood Directed and co-written (with Samuel Taylor & Ernest Lehman) by Billy Wilder, this essential romantic comedy stars Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, and Audrey Hepburn in the title role. It's a love triangle featuring the three leads which was later remade with Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, and Julia Ormond.This film, which won an Oscar for Edith Head's B&W Costume Design, received five other Oscar nominations including two for director Wilder (he shared the Best Screenplay honors) and Hepburn's second consecutive Best Actress nomination, following her win for Roman Holiday (1953). It was also added to the National Film Registry in 2002 and is #54 of AFI's 100 Greatest Love Stories list.The story is about two brothers, stiff "family business" man Bogart and blonde playboy Holden, who fall in love with their chauffeur's (John Williams) daughter, the beautiful Ms. Hepburn. Sabrina had been a shy, wallflower type, who worshiped the dashing playboy brother, until she goes away to school in Paris and comes back a sophisticated, lovely young woman, and chef.Holden's character, already engaged to an important potential business partner's daughter (Martha Hyer), is instantly attracted to the all new and grownup Sabrina, which jeopardizes the deal Bogart's character had been trying to do. So, Bogart romances Hepburn in hopes of attracting her away from Holden, when suddenly what was a set-up becomes real.

dougdoepke Slickly done Cinderella story. And who wouldn't root for the gamin princess, Hepburn. One minute she's a plain Jane chauffeur's daughter, the next she's the belle of the high-falutin' ball, thanks to a Paris makeover. No more hiding in a tree watching the beautifully upholstered cavort around the employer's mansion. Now she's a center of every guy's attention. But she's got to decide which of the two millionaire sons (Bogart & Holden) to tie up with, which means crossing a tricky class line. Oh my, such a dilemma for a poor servant's daughter.As I recall, the movie was quite a hit. Certainly Hepburn's svelte figure and pixie-like features presented quite a contrast to the bosomy blonde sex goddesses of the day. All in all, she's a highly appealing screen presence whether as a tree waif or as the belle of the ball. Bogart's a rather odd choice as the older brother. He's showing his age and unfortunately only a couple years away from an untimely passing. Still, he and the much younger Hepburn manage to make their scenes together fairly believable.The plot's really little more than a showcase for screen vet Bogie, and the fast-rising Hepburn and Holden. Good thing the filming effort seems so effortless since many of the later scenes stretch beyond necessity, no doubt to accommodate the two leads. Overall, what the movie shows is how really slick Hollywood professionalism can transform a slender story idea into an appealing movie experience, regardless of length.
