Haretroi65 I have almost every Audrey Hepburn movie ever made , just ordered Robin and Marian. There will never be another Audrey Hepburn and no actress could ever compare to her just ordered the Hollywood Collection of Audrey Hepburn remembered. It is excellent it goes into the whole story of her entire life. They don't make women like this anymore sad to say, she had class. Jennifer Love Hewitt did all right but no one can compare to the original.
MagickalTrevor This movie is an embarrassment to Audrey's legacy and to fans alike. I base this not on the fact that JL looks and sounds nothing like Audrey Hepburn but the fact that the producers and the writers failed to do any sort of research on Audrey as a person.1. Audrey was a very private person and they failed to even take notice of that, they made it seem that she flaunted her relationships around when she really didn't. And as for the monologues I seriously doubt Audrey made any of those speeches JL made as her. 2. Also both the relationships she had with both her mother and father were completely wrong her mother was not as loving as she was portrayed in the movie and her father was not as cold as shown either. 3. The sets for the movies Breakfast at Tiffany's and Sabrina were completely wrong and filmed out of sequence it was like JL didn't even see the originals I'm surprised they got the wardrobe right.4. I believe the movie would have done fine with the same cast if they would have just tried not to make Audrey's life such a drama to grab ratings also if they would have researched and showed more of her life beyond Breakfast at Tiffany's as if that was her only defining role.
THOMAS C. RIZZO, JR. While Eric McCormack as Mel Ferrer never shakes his Will Truman persona, Jennifer Love Hewitt is shockingly good as Audrey Hepburn, far better than I ever imagined she could be. For an actress with relatively limited talent, she does an amazing job of capturing the actress' essence and slightly-accented voice. The film is a fairly accurate retelling of the actress' life and career, although the story doesn't extend beyond the filming of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Whoever submitted the goof claiming Hepburn and her father reconciled and were close until his death goofed himself - although after reuniting with him in Ireland she sent him financial support on occasion, he remained emotionally aloof and never acknowledged her success, privately or publicly. As biopics go, this is a fairly straightforward and rather dull account, only because Hepburn's personal life and career were scandal-free, with no "Mommie Dearest" dirt to spice things up.
oneshortkat I must admit that after reading all of the reviews to be horrified by JLH presentation as Audrey Hepburn. But I was somewhat surprised. I didn't think that she was the best actress available, I think Emmy Rossum should have played Audrey the entire movie, but JLH does an alright job. She doesn't do the perfect accent, but then I don't think that any actress could do the accent perfectly. I never knew of the horrible things that happened to Audrey during her life and this movie made me cry, especially during Emmy's scenes. I have such respect for Audrey Hepburn now. The work she did made such a difference and it's sad that she is gone now.
