Customer Rating: 
Summary: No chemistry but otherwise, great
Comment: I have not seen the orginal version of this movie, so I cannot comment on this as a remake, but I do like this movie. There doesn't seem to be much chemisty between the two main characters, so when they fall in love, it doesn't seem that believable, but almost everything else about this film is engaging. It's an enjoyable movie to watch and most of the characters are interesting in their own right and well-played by the actors.

Summary: Well done remake of a classic Cinderella story
Comment: 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.
