What an awful movie. Audrey Hepburn can never be portrayed well enough by one actress today in a movie. There are many actresses that hold some of her qualities, but never all of them. Certainly not Jennifer Love Hewitt.Speaking of the "leading lady", it's a sad tale about how she won the role of Audrey in this film. You see, the young actress fancies herself to be an Audrey for the ages, but even she knows it's not true, so she bought the rights to the movie, produced it and cast herself as Audrey. She is no Audrey Hepburn.Where Audrey always was always so unsure of her looks, Hewitt takes the `character' and makes her devoid of that emotion. Other qualities of Audrey lack as well. Hewitt should stick with those TV series for FOX; although they'll still fail, they won't be as bad as this movie.Another alteration for Hewitt's casting was the flashback-from-Breakfast-At-Tiffany's situation. That stunt painted over some of her finest work, including the fabulous `Wait Until Dark' and tosses it into a small paragraph at the end.You may think I am being a harsh judge, but worse criticisms have been uttered. Audrey Hepburn, quite possibly the greatest actress to ever work in Hollywood, should never be handled with such, for lack of a btter word, stupidity. This movie handles her with just that.
