Product: The Audrey Hepburn Story [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 3.0
Give Ms Hewitt some credit
Obviously, Jennifer Love Hewitt has great respect and love for Ms Hepburn, and she should get some credit for taking such a risk. But Audrey is more than an actress, she's an icon, and anyone taking on such a role is bound to offend some people. I was not familiar with Jennifer Love Hewitt's previous work, but I am eager to check it out. She certainly is beautiful and has screen presence, but she is not Audey Hepburn, at least not yet. Ms Hewitt is miscast and it's ironic that the movie takes place during the filming of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", a movie for which Ms Hepburn was miscast. My real objection to the movie isn't the casting or the acting, it's the way the movie was plotted. The subject-looking-back-on his/her-life plot has become a cliche. Someone needs to put some new life into the biography movie.
