Rating:  - Breakfast at Tiffany's
Adapted from Truman Capote's novella, Edwards's fleet-footed romantic comedy would not be the cultural touchstone it is without the effervescent presence of Hepburn. As Holly Golightly, a small-town Texas girl with her feet planted firmly in the glitz of New York's party scene, Hepburn is irrepressibly charming, a vision of elflike beauty in Givenchy and pearls. But she is also a frail creature harboring secrets, and Hepburn plays both sides exquisitely. Peppard is solid and likable as writer Paul, Holly's admirer and confidante, while Patricia Neal chews on her steely role as Paul's wealthy older mistress. A chic, iconic romance, memorably set to the Oscar-winning strains of Henry Mancini's "Moon River."
Rating:  - Why is this movie considered a classic?
THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST!!! at being terrible!
This movie is, frankly, one of the most uninteresting, and utterly boring movies I have ever seen. Seriously, this movie makes reruns of c-span seem as exciting as "Raiders of the Lost Ark". This movie does not even begin to have what could be loosely described as a plot. Instead it focuses on the uninteresting life of a woman who calls herself "Holly". It focuses on various occurrences in her life, primarily on her love interests (which are contingent entirely on money). However the man that falls in love with her seems not to care, lending to one extremely stupid seeming character. When Hepburn throws her cat out of a cab into the rain, it left me wondering why he didn't do the same to Hepburn. Her character is so unlikeable it's nearly impossible to describe. At one point she states "lets each do something we haven't done before", then states "but I couldn't think of anything I haven't done before". At this point, I couldn't contain myself anymore. I yelled at the screen "How about something interesting to watch! Neither of you have done that before!"
All in all, the lack of a plot, unlikeable characters, and mediocre scripting lead to an outright dull and uninteresting movie. There should be a warning on the box that says "hide all sharp objects before attempting to view this movie" because chances are, you will be stabbing yourself in the eyes before you've finished this one. Whoever decided this movie was a classic should be shot!
Rating: - classic movie
What's not to love about this movie. It's a true classic and timeless. Loved it. Great for "date night" or dressing up with the girls and watching.
Rating: - A Classic Worth Adding to One's Collection
Taken for what it is, it's a fun movie. One can simply enjoy the story, the music, and the relief at the recovery of "Cat". The closing scene is always touching to the romantic at heart. It is a vastly superior way to spend one's evening compared to watching the news or the various crime dramas that seem to dominate TV nowadays.
Rating: - A Classic
Audrey Hepburn at her best and brings back a feeling of New York that doesn't exists anymore..
