Watched this remake of the 1954 film of the same name the other day, and it remains as amusing and well-crafted as it was then.
The clever little plot follows a girl names Sabrina who is the daughter of the chauffeur and lives with her father over the garage. She has a crush on the younger of the Larrabee brothers, David, her entire young life, but during an excursion to Paris David gets engaged to the daughter of a big time business owner with which the older brother, Linus, is making a business deal. When David takes a liking to Sabrina all grown up, Linus takes it upon himself to engage Sabrina until David falls for his fiancee again.
I really don't have anything detrimental to say about this movie, if anyone cares to believe that. The major character were well-rounded and given pasts to relate to. The plot was left free of holes as everything ties up rather nicely and it has some decent, yet predictable, twists. It does have that air of nuisance in that the characters are given cushy lifestyles so that they can do whatever they want throughout the film, however that's more of a pet peeve than a complaint on the film.
This is a standard fare chick flick that delivers a better than average film.
