Rating: - Overrated
The movie is a classic, just a bad one. It's been a while since I've seen it, but the other reviews really helped jog my memory. The movie was shallow and contrived. The main character of a movie should be liked by the audience, but Holly failed to catch my attention or respect. Her unhappiness and lack of self confidence is no excuse for her selfishness. I might have given this move a 3 star if not for the hype. The over the top praise this movie has recieved is unbelievable! I can't help being disappointed in the people who gave it a 5 star. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but still. ... Read More
Rating: - Breakfast at Tiffany's
It's the classic opening scene of a timeless romantic comedy that many would recognize, Audrey Hepburn gets out of a big yellow taxi cab, while Henry Mancini's Moon River plays in the background, in a long elegant black evening gown with her diamond tiara, fabulously large pearl necklace and elbow length black gloves, she walks to the Tiffany's store window to look at the gorgeous jewelry and chandeliers all while enjoying a croissant and a cup of coffee then heading home after a night on the town. In the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, Audrey Hepburn plays the strong-willed and glamorous female ... Read More
Rating: - There's such a lot of world to see
Audrey Hepburn had a lot of memorable, glamorous roles as highly individual, sensitive young women.
But her most iconic turn was as Holly Golightly, a frivolous young woman with a highly sensitive core. Hepburn is a ball of shimmering charm here, whether she's setting hats on fire or chasing nameless cats through the rain, and she's able to shine brightly enough to obscure a few flaws (such as Mickey Rooney). The other actors do serviceable jobs, but she's undeniablythe star.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a daily ritual for Holly Golightly (Hepburn), a social butterfly who ... Read More
Rating: - Frothy
Blow away the froth from the top of this movie, and what do you have? Just more froth and more froth. The one saving grace is Audrey Hepburn. She simply looks great.
Hepburn's character in the movie is little more than a high class prostitute. She is willing to sell herself to the highest bidder. George Peppard's character is nothing more than a male prostitute who lives comfortably on the donations of a rich woman played by Patricia Neal. Mickey Rooney is embarrassing as a Japanese neighbor, complete with thick glasses and buck teeth.
Rating: - Two amoral, shallow people find love? Yeah, right.
I really found this movie quite the antithesis of "charming." Now, admittedly, Hepburn and Peppard were two very attractive, physically appealing people. However, I couldn't stand their characters. Let's see -- she makes her living by leading rich men on, taking their money and then dumping them at the last minute. He's a "kept man", sleeping with a married woman. Why should I like these people?
Furthermore, while people seem to find Holly's dialogue cute, I found Hepburn's performance flighty and really annoying. Her attempt at a Southern accent during her big scene with Buddy Ebsen ... Read More
