the leading man is my tpye
Perfectly adorable
From my favorite movies..
There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
View MoreI read everyone else's review and I'd hate to fly with the flock but I agree 100% and I thought I'd be the only one. As a TCm fan, that of A Audrey Hepburn, this movie did her no justice. Jennifer Love did her best to 'sound' like Audrey but it seemed forced with every scene. I wanted to love the movie and wanted to continue watching this. The bio of Charlie Chaplin with Robert Downey Jr was amazing ! I was hoping the same for Hepburn. Sorely disappointed. Don't buy it. Don't bother watching it.
View MoreThis is a watchable biopic about one of the most unique and enchanting actresses of her time, Audrey Hepburn. I am glad I watched it.There are some faults: The main issue here is whether Jennifer Love Hewitt was right for the role and did a good job. Firstly there is no one who can match Audrey perfectly so it's unreasonable to expect that. Having said that physically, JLH doesn't look like Audrey Hepburn. Her shape of face is too thin and pointy. Her figure is too curvy. But putting the physical differences aside, her acting is adequate. Her accent was a bit low pitched and she didn't quite get it right. The Continental air isn't quite there. But JLH is quite delightful to watch so it might as well have been her.The movie stopped a bit early, not covering My Fair Lady and her later life enough. Too much spent on her relationship with her father and early life. Eric McCormack is a strange choice for Mel Ferrer. Overall worth watching.
View MoreAudrey Hepburn is someone who deserves an amazing actress to portray her. The bar is set pretty high by her, and unfortunately this movie fails to meet that expectation.Why not have chosen someone with actual talent and a graceful presence like Audrey's? JLH was a horrible choice for this role. She did not fit the role, and is a terrible actress to boot. She was unable to tackle such a charming, beautiful character.Natalie Portman, Kate Beckensale, there's a slew of other actresses who would have been much better in the role.Casting can make or break a movie... so this one gets a 2/10.
View MoreWhile 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.
