I had this video years ago but either loaned it out or misplaced it.
This was a replacement.
Well done remake of a classic Cinderella story 
2008-06-02
Sabrina (Julia Ormond) has lived her life above the wealthy Larrabee garage all her life, watching the fabulous parties, dreaming of the youngest son, David (Greg Kinnear). When the poor chauffeur's daughter gets a chance to go away to Paris to work on "Vogue" magazine, she comes back transformed.
Meanwhile, David's engaged now to a young doctor, Elizabeth Tyson (Lauren Holly) whose family is also an excellent match for the Larrabees. The Tyson family owns a patent that eldest son Linus (Harrison Ford) needs for his multi-billion dollar business. He's working to merge their two companies together.
When David sees Sabrina, his typical short attention span kicks in, which wreaks havoc with the Tysons. Linus steps in to divert David. When he tries to romance Sabrina to get her away from David, Linus realizes the chauffeur's daughter could be the girl for him.
Probably only Sydney Pollack could direct a film that would come close to the original, which starred Humphrey Bogart as Linus and Audrey Hepburn as Sabrina. The modernization of the story is fascinating. Harrison Ford makes as good a Linus as Bogart. Ormond is exquisite, but she doesn't quite live up to the luminous quality of Audrey Hepburn. Nancy Marchand is the one actor who I think is better than the original Nella Walker.
It's worth seeing both stories just as an interest to see how the story has morphed from one generation to about the third. You may want both if you love Cinderella stories.

A good remake 2008-05-09
Other than the fact that it seemed like Linus and Sabrina fell in love quickly (two-three days?) I found this to be a charming remaking. The first act seemed or felt rather long-watching her in Paris while she slowly tried to forget about David. I did wonder whatever happened to her photographer boyfriend-but I guess he was just meant to be a fling. Plus, I would have liked this modernized version to give her father more of a backbone other than just letting whatever happen-happen. Plus, Sabrina was supposed to be like this innocent breath of fresh air-chick who was steadily pursuing an engaged man. I questioned her intelligence to willing line up to be one of those love him and dump chicks David ran through. If she knew him as well as she said she did, why follow his blueprint to a broken heart? Still it's a charming film-a good remake-not great-but good.

Better than the Original! 2008-03-27
I would say that in most cases remakes are not as good as the original but in this case I have seen them both and must say that Julia and Harrison make a great pair!
love this movie 2008-03-26
There is just something about this version of Sabrina. All of the performances given in this film were wonderful. I love the window this film gives you into the 90's, it is oh so rich. Oh and Harrison Ford! Oh dear! Love him in this film. I say it is worth a watch.
Sabrina is great 2008-02-12
I have never seen the original but I love this version. Julia Ormond is fabulous as Sabrina, lonely daughter of a chauffer to a billionare family. Its a really enjoyable film and a great romance, if you are into that sort of thing. It doesn't get over the top and its a riot to see Harrison Ford's character interact with Sabrina. They really compliment each other well and make an interesting on-screen couple. This is one of those films that I can watch over and over.

Very good movie. Great job of remaking the original film with Bogart, Hepburn and Holden.
