Plot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sabrina Fairchild (Julia Ormond) is the ugly duckling daughter of the Larrabee family chauffeur (John Wood). She has been in love with the young Larrabee brother \u2013 David (Greg Kinnear<\/a>) all her life. Unfortunately, David is the ultimate player, going from one pretty girl to the next.<\/p>\n

She gets her opportunity to change when she moves to Paris and works as a photographer. Upon her return, David is shocked that she has turned into a beautiful young woman and he\u2019s dying to flirt with her.<\/p>\n

The older Larrabee brother Linus (Harrison Ford<\/a>) is the ultimate workaholic, successfully running the family business. He isn\u2019t content with David\u2019s fascination with Sabrina as David is about to marry Elizabeth Tyson (Lauren Holly), with whose family Linus is about to close a profitable merger deal. Knowing that Sabrina still wants David, Linus makes a plan with his mother (Nancy Marchand). He will seduce Sabrina and make her give up on David.<\/p>\n

Of course Linus has forgotten about one thing: Sabrina is enchanting and while she is falling for him, he is also falling for her…Will this plan end up well for anyone?<\/p>\n

Movie Trivia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sabrina is the 1995 remake of the 1954 American classic of the same name. 1954\u2019S Sabrina stars Humphrey Bogart, Audrey Hepburn and William Holden. Original Sabrina \u2013 directed by Billy Wilder- is rated 7.8 on IMDB while Sydney Pollack\u2019s version is rated at 6.0<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago, the movie was adapted to a popular TV series in Turkey and the English translation of the show reads \u201cAn Istanbul Fairy Tale\u201d.<\/p>\n

Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sabrina is a sweet, charming movie. Yes, once again I committed the sin of not having seen the original. I am positively biased towards the newer one, since I am a spoiled movie fan that prefers the 90s camera work and technology over the 50s.<\/p>\n

It is by no means a perfect movie. While I think Julia Ormond makes a lovely Sabrina, a more good-looking actor could have played David. I love Greg Kinnear to bits, but he just isn\u2019t hot enough for the part of David, though he does seem to make a good replacement for William Holden.<\/p>\n

I think Harrison Ford is a perfect Linus, and I\u2019ll go as far to say I prefer him over Bogart. As charismatic as Bogart is, Ford is much more likeable. And the movie does unfortunately becomes a victim to its wardrobe. It might be in character but seriously, didn\u2019t businessmen wear ties in the 90s? What\u2019s with Linus\u2019 fascination with the bowties? Who wore bow ties to a corporation in the 90s? And well, he could have picked a little more flattering glasses. Let me put it this way- Harrison looks as old as he looks now in the film. Which is weird, given that the movie was shot so many years ago.<\/p>\n

But apart from my objections to the wardrobe and Greg Kinnear<\/a>, I liked watching Sabrina. It might be a poor girl falls for the older rich guy storyline, but it comes with Ford and Ormond.<\/p>\n

6.5\/10 from me. Recommended to every romantic.<\/p>\n
