This 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.

Audrey 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.

I heard of how horrible this made for TV movie was - but of course I was curious. I borrowed it from my local library... and I did not expect it to be THIS bad! I'm a die hard Audrey fan, and even I became bored during most of this film. Audrey Hepburn's life boring? Not at all - but they managed to make it seem so. I was becoming agitated with the way this was edited as well. The story kept switching from during the production of Breakfast At Tiffany's to her early life.Jennifer Love Hewitt was miscast, as her performance as Audrey was insufficient. Audrey's persona is impossible to portray in the first place - but JLH? They could have chosen someone more appropriate for the role. I felt embarrassed for her, seeing her attempting an English accent and failing to capture even an ounce Audrey's spirit or charm. Her rendition of Moon River is okay, but calls for a dub - due to the style of her singing - it lost all fragility. As the movie progressed, I became more annoyed with her and irritable - exactly the opposite of how Audrey makes me feel. And I am clueless on why they chose Eric McCormack to be Mel Ferrer. Frances Fisher actually does resemble Ella Hepburn (Audrey's mother) a bit, and Jennifer Love Hewitt's profile looks similar to Audrey's, but that's all.They make too big of a deal with her relationship with Truman Capote. Yes, it is true that he had Marilyn Monroe in mind for the role of Holly Golightly, but he sent Audrey a letter upon hearing about her being cast - and expressed how pleased he was.Avoid this if you're wanting to know more about Audrey. You're better off reading her biographies (Barry Paris's is a fan favorite) and watching her films. This 'tribute' is appalling, for it makes Audrey seem like a tease and a ditz. It especially angered me how they focused so intently on how Audrey wanted to have children, manipulating it a bit to make it seem like she was heartless about the feelings of the others. The ending is also very unsatisfactory.

I thought the movie was charming, informative and well done. I had no idea Audrey Hepburn was involved in the Dutch underground; chilling. Jennifer Love Hewitt captured the essence of Ms. Hepburn, a difficult task, especially since Jennifer is more than cute while Audrey was a reserved pretty; both are classy. Hewitt's accent was very good, and her portrayal artful and, once again, charming. The supporting cast was first rate with one small exception. Emmy Rossum was great as the teenage Audrey. Frances Fisher as her mother was excellent. I liked the performance of James Hanson by Peter Giles, but found the William Holden characterization a little weak. Overall, I enjoyed the celebration of Audrey Hepburn's life, and must see "Robin and Marian" and "Always" again soon. Audrey's films will be as timeless as her UNICEF work on behalf the world's children. Quite a legacy.
