Product: The Audrey Hepburn Story [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
Hewitt shines as Her Majesty
When I first heard about this project I was a bit skeptical. The thought of anyone trying to portray Audrey seemed wrong to me... even the beautiful Ms. Hewitt. I gave it a shot, though, and was pleasantly surprised.Hewitt pulled of the part as well as anyone possibly could and that's a huge compliment considering her subject. She looked stunning in the roll. I'll admit that her accent wasn't dead on, but it passed well. If nothing else, she captured the fun that was attributed to Audrey.Quite a few people have critisized the movie and her roll. I honestly feel that the reason for this is because they're so used to watching Audrey that they expect that someone portraying her can be as charming, elegant, and beautiful as Audrey herself. As a severe Audrey fan I will be the first to tell you that this isn't possible. If you go into the movie knowing that Hewitt isn't the reincarnation of Audrey then you'll enjoy this movie.
