The basic story is about a chauffeur's daughter who grows up in a rich household and falls in love with the younger brother of the household. She is sent to Paris for her good and returns to become a problem, turning into a subliminal attraction for the older brother.
First off, this is a remake of the 1954 Sabrina. As with all remakes, when you compare them, nothing is as good as the original. I usually share that attitude, with a few exceptions. In this case, I would not attempt a comparison, as it is not a period piece and there is no correlation beyond names and general circumstances.
That being said, this is a fun movie. Even though it is anticipatable and predictable, the execution is superb. The dialogue matches the characters and makes you feel that you are part of the movie. They did go a little overboard trying to frump up Julia Ormond for the early scenes; however, she did clean up nicely.
