  • I have seen this movie a thousand times because I adore Audrey Hepburn, but I do think I loved the movie that much because Jennifer was so amazing in it!

  • One of my favorite actresses playing one of my favorite actresses, now if only I could see Alanah France do a young Audrey role...another beautiful young talent.

  • ...meh.

    Her voice is too poppy for the song. I'm not comparing her to Audrey Hepburn. It's just that the song itself needs a more lived in and warm feeling to it. She makes it sound too manufactured.

  • ya was thinkin the same , this girls voice is nice but its too perfectly sung , just doesnt feel genuine

  • It sounds lovely itself, but compared to Audrey, it's nothing. Only Audrey could sing it the way it should be. Jennifer's is just too.. too.. good, and flowy. Audrey's was perfect.

  • sounds nothing like audry

  • @wadyano Agreed.

    Kind of an insulting attempt...I don't know why--just like pissing on a Picasso....to give it "flavor".

  • Natalie Portman would make a better Audrey.

  • Looks like Jennifer Love Hewitt trying to be Audrey Hepburn, not Audrey Hepburn. She's so bad.

  • Her voice is too poppy! ARH.

  • Jennifer is ofcourse beautiful and can sing like an angel ... thoe no one beats Audrey in this song ... She's was and will always be a natural.

  • Jennifer did a great job, but Audrey's was a classic...

  • No one can do it like Audrey. She was amazing!

  • the only person who could play Audrey Hepburn is Helen of Troy

  • I have nothing against Jennifer Love Hewitt. In fact, she is one of my favourite modern actresses. But honestly. This film is wrong wrong wrong. I just find it cringeworthy to think they got her to pretend they were Audrey Hepburn, make her sound like her, make her sing Moon River in similar clothes...it's just ugh. You can't ever try and redo a classic film like this and expect to see the same magic. And its just awkward to watch.

  • I have an official obsession with Audrey Hepburn, I've seen this movie twice and sure Jennifer Love Hewitt is pretty and a very lovely girl but oh my gosh. She is dreadful as Audrey Hepburn. Why did they bother to make this movie? - No one could ever be remotely like Audrey, I have nothing against Hewitt herself but her portrayal of Audrey is offensive. The accent is poor, the acting (from others too) is appauling. Jen either tried too hard or not enough with this role.

  • she's trying to redo one of the classic scenes in cinema...of course it's not going to achieve a similar special magic; but this is a good effort, and Hewitt also has the waif appeal, and if this film got more people interested in Hepburn, well done

  • This movie is the reason I fell in love with Audrey Hepburn... I knew nothing about her until I watched this movie. I happen to think Jennifer Love Hewitt does and excellent job. All of you talentless a-holes commenting on here about how "terrible" you think she is.... I DARE you to try to mimick Audrey Hepburn and do anywhere near as good of a job as Jennifer. No one could do this better. STFU, ALL OF YOU!!!!

  • why would they even attempt to make that movie?!

  • try olivia wilde next time :)

  • No, I'm sure I don't want YOU to sing. Or at least not to sing pretending you're looking like Audrey Hepburn...

  • BAD terrible ....she reminds me NOTHING

    of Audrey Hepburn

    is just not the same feeling..

    Audrey was really something else!

  • WEAK

  • The worst movie ever made, the worst acting by an actress, and i use the word 'actress' very loosly, serving burgers at McDonalds is about her level and it looks like she should eat some of those burgers too. Ahh McDonalds...what a load of shit they are, hope they go bust one day.

  • @staffbus1 a lot of anger.. hm...

  • nothing compares to you, lovely Audrey

  • I watched what this was from, which is a terrible TV movie of Audrey's life. The movie didn't even cover her life til the end, which made me mad because one of, if not, the best part of her is her involvement in UNICEF. Anyway, Jennifer Love Hewitt was adorable, but can't touch Audrey. The whole thing felt so fake. It's clear everyone was trying to hard. This video is proof.

  • @mammamiax3 too hard *

  • @mammamiax3 And, by the way, I just want to say that I do not think Jennifer is a bad singer at all. She's good. She's just not Audrey, and that's what she needed to be here.

  • Oh, this is horrifically bad...

  • this is shocking. awful.

  • whomever is claiming that Jennifer knows the most about Audrey is full of c**p. this song is soo affected not at all capturing the raw beauty of the original version. Plus that phony english accent. Audrey was austrian

  • @blunderite1 my bad, belgium. so she was flemish, but still, not british!!! this is garbage. Anyone that studied that film the way so many of us have would no better than to sing this song in that pseudo trained affected manner

  • Jennifer is perfect as Audrey Hepburn<3

    Her voice are fantastic!! Love you Jennifer<3

  • @Henri345 Are you blind and deaf?

  • @BeccaLovesBeatles No... I'm think I'm alive :) I'm just a very big fan of Jennifer<3 I think she is fantastic in the role :) But if you think something diffrent it's ok :) I just think that she is amazing<3

  • Comment removed

  • @Henri345 Darling, deaf means unable to hear. Haha. I said DEAF, not DEAD. Also, two questions: have you ever actually SEEN a movie with Audrey Hepburn? Have you even heard Audrey's version of Moon River? Because if you haven't, you have no idea what you're talking about. Jennifer has a half-decent voice, but she just horribly miscast herself for this role. It was like casting a chihuahua to play the part of a cat. Maybe kind of cute, but not even slightly convincing, and a bit annoying.

  • @BeccaLovesBeatles I have seen Breakfast at Tiffanys :) I love the movie! And I think Audrey is good but I just think that Jennifer is just as good as Audrey. Jennifer is really something special<3 I think she is perfect for the role! It's so good that she had the chance to play Audrey who was her big idol! That's amazing isen't it? Thats just my opinion :)

  • audrey was sincerely bad at singing - but the sincereness made it one of the most beautiful songs sung. this film is a travesty.

  • OMG, she has a beautiful voice.. I love her.

  • The tempo is way too fast

  • I actually prefer this version :)

  • Audrey Hepbern was not just a brunette who can be played by any brunette.She was

  • she just cannot come close to audrey its not the same and her voice sounded nothing like audreys

  • jennifer is amazing and a great actress but she just sounded silly trying to get audreys voice

  • She was marvelous in this movie. At certain angles, it almost looked like Audrey. And I'm speaking of the whole movie, not just this part. She got Audrey's accent, which is amazing to me because it's such a hard accent to get! I can only imagine how long she had to practice to get that.

  • Watever u have all lost u'lls minds JLH is a great singer actress everything. U all just need to open ur eyes and ears to see and her her beauty.

  • Watever u have all lost u'lls minds JLH is a great singer actress everything. Uall just need to open ur eyes and ears to see and her her beauty.

  • You know who reminds me more of Audrey than JLH? Penelope Cruz. Just my opinion.

  • what is that voice? this isn't supposed to be a 21st century pop idol audition.

  • I didn't know that Jennifer sing so well =)

  • @albersantan yeah, she has a few pop albums.

  • Actually Audrey Hepburn didn't have a very high and singer voice... but was BEAUTIFUL, it had a feeling and sweetness that no one can imitate. I think JLH did well... has a great voice, but never like Audrey (and actually I personally believe she doesn't look like Audrey Hebpurn in ANYTHING) NEVER, never...

  • Actually, JLH got started on the kids sing-and-dance show Kids, Incorporated. But just looking at that clip convinces me she could never capture Audrey Hepburn on film. She's not a good actress at all, and cameras just imbibed AH.

  • @cabbagemama you're insane.. :P

  • i feel like whoever they chose to portray audrey would never have satisfied us, but somewhere out there, there was someone who could've done it much better than Jennifer Love Hewitt. No offense to her, but she's just another girl that wants to be Audrey...just playing pretend. When I look at her...I just see Jennifer. They should've kept looking until they found someone that any of us could look at and feel as if Audrey was back and here and ready to bring back what people should be famous for.

  • No, Is all I can say. No.

  • lovely.♥

  • you gotta choose someone who remembers audrey..when i see her i don't see audrey...absolutely NO!!!

  • like a fairytale

  • I expected her to suck. She doesn't suck at all.

  • @KingOfThePigs She can sing, but she sounds NOTHING like Audrey. Audrey Hepburn didn't sound like some Disney diva. Hewitt does.

  • Definitely love it!

    Love her voice :)

    As much as I love Audrey she did a great job in this movie :D

    (My Opinion) Xx-xX

  • Does anyone know how old she was when she sung this? It's truly amazing.

  • her voice is so fuckign saccharine 

  • I don't like Jennifer as Audrey, but I love her, Ghost Whisperer is one of my favorite series

  • Audrey is royalty, Jennifer is just another actress.

  • she ruined moon river for me

  • Jennifer actually sang this song? I've never seen that movie, "The Audrey Hepburn Story". Was it good? 

  • @kyrieeleison1 really good :)

  • @kyrieeleison1 i thought so too.

  • This was actually a dream come true for me. As I've been a fan of Audrey, for as long as I could remember, and Jennifer Is really, just amazing, 2 of my favourite actresses :)

  • Audrey Hepburn was by my opinion the biggest and the most beautiful woman on the earth and she will always be, her voice was beautiful and amazing too, not such high as Jennifer´s, but original. This song by Audrey cant nobody never sing so awesome like she. But Jennifer is great actor and good singer too. Her version is not bad, but how i said, only Audrey Hepburn can be Audrey Hepburn...

  • believe it or not, the most touching rendition of this song i have ever heard was by anne hathaway from "the simpsons" . i am surprised that it's not on youtube. it was the episode when krusty was about to marry the princess character from his show but it didn't happen so she went to paris and segways into her singing moonriver at an outside cafe.

  • @jgalt7 Thats funny cause Cujo from Entertainment Tonight compares Anne to Audrey.

  • Frank Sinatra was a moon in Pisces too. And so am I. =) I love to sing, if only! lol.

  • She sounds beautiful and almost prettier than Audrey, her voice is a bit higher and lighter, sounds happier? But very close to Audrey's sound/tone at the same time. Jen sounds breathier in my opinion.

  • Love is beautiful, but lacks Hepburn's incredibly timeless class.

  • i love it! j.love did a great job.

  • I think she did a good job she could sing a little louder at spots but other wise she is good

  • I like it.  Jennifer's not bad... xD

  • Her voice is nice, but Audrey's voice was lovlier. It had an otherworldly, breathy quality to it. Jennifer still sings it well, though, and she looks beautiful while doing it.

  • she is really very beautiful

    and sings alright,

    but she reminds me NOTHING

    of Audrey Hepburn

    is just not the same feeling..

    Audrey was really something else!

  • @parisnrichie I agree, and actually Natalie Portman reminds me a little bit more of Audrey then Jennifer does.

  • @parisnrichie

    It's always very difficult to beat the original because it's first and we already had Audrey's impression in our mind. Like imagine "Gone in the wind " was remake today, no matter how closely they can resemble the original one, the audience will always think the original the better.

    I love Audrey, and thank Jennifer for making a good rendition of the song.

  • @parisnrichie some people just cannot be imitated, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Streisand.

  • I really want to see this film!!! Some one please can tell where can I found it, in internet, 'cause in my country there isn't to buy! :(

  • I loved Jennifer Love Hewitt in the portrayl of Audrey Hepburn. She is one of my favorite actresses. She did wonderful singing this song.

  • I love Audrey's version because it's so raw.

  • I still like Audrey's version better!

  • I like this version better than Audrey's. Ghost Whisperer is amazing! 

  • @UtahImplosion oh, i love you!!!!! xD

  • Jennifer I love you, but you aren't Audrey Hepburn... =(

  • i love JLH (:

    i don't think anyone could portray audrey hepburn in a way that would make people happy though. either way, I thought her singing was beautiful.

  • JENNIFER. I am never usually negative about anyone. But I am an absolute fan of Audrey Hepburn, and YOU don't begin to know anything about her. Have you ever even seen her movies? You have a voice, but your acting is nothing comparable. Granted, you had some major shoes to fill, but you must have been picked because of low budgeting because I can think of at least 5 actresses that would do much better. Audrey is rolling in her grave at this film for sure!

  • @lindseymlowry *cough* Jennifer produced it.

  • @lindseymlowry Jennifer know a lot about Audrey Hepburn (; If you was a Jennifer-fan you would know that Jennifer is the biggest fan of Audrey Hepburn ever :) Jennifer gets all her inspiration from Audrey Hepburn. I think she was perfect for the role and she sang the song perfectly in her own way!

  • @lindseymlowry I am a huge fan of audrey... obsessed, actually. Jennifer did a fantastic job playing her.

    the only thing about the movie that needed work was the fact that they left a lot out of it.

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt actually has a lovely voice. But I'm conflicted. It's just...wrong for Audrey, who sang this song with a tentativeness and whispery quality in her voice that just isn't matched here.

  • I think it was beautiful, and I loved her as Audrey Hepburn !!!

  • Have you heard my throuat I sound just like a panther a nd a cross between a tiger!

  • I wait! For a winter not quit ready here!

  • if she's gonna play hepburn she can atleast try and sing like her instead of trying to modernize it. FAIL in my book

  • This grosses me out. Numerous times, Jenniffer love ew-Witt has "pretended" to be Audrey... She's fat and ugly!! Audry was a gorgeous lady, and no one will ever be like her. Besides, love hewwitt sounds terrible in this.

  • I think she isreally nice, and her voice is great, aand she is a good actor at the same time. Really talented.

  • This such an utter travesty to thememory of Hepburn.How dare some third rate no talent tweenager even think she can portray Audrey. Audrey was a lady, a huge talent and absolutle treasure to the cinematic world. Shame on whoever cast this teen soap reject. Shame on you all!

  • She's an amazing singer, and I love her as an actress, but honestly I hate this 'Audrey Hepburn Story' I just feel like she's impersonating Audrey Hepburn, and she is doing a good job, but I just don't like the concept of it.

  • She has a very pretty voice, but I think she makes the singing style a little bit too modern, and I really just can't see her as Audrey Hepburn

  • I Love Love Love Jennifer Love Hewitt, I personally beleive her to be TV's sexiest star 

  • I'd say JLH looks a little like her, but Audrey was quite obviously a better singer. I love JLH, but really, noone can even touch Audrey Hepburn.

  • Aww I love Jennifer in The Audrey Hepburn Story

  • omg shes got a very sweet voice :') wish it was just alittle bit louder though, love her

  • @Cabess12 Yeah me too! But I think it's just cause Moon River is such a quiet song :/

  • @OddSocksJenni yeah

  • i love her look here.

    she's geart actor and sweet singer.

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt does not have a bad voice, but she does not sound nearly as sweet, genuine, or loving as Audrey Hepburn sounded. Audrey was, and is, simply angelic, and no one could come close to how beautiful she was on the inside and out.

  • @oxvalentineox I agree but I think she done alright to be fair. Her voice is just too strong and shes putting too much "singing" into it, cause in the movie Audrey was talking in a sense at the same time as singing. As Audrey was a beautiful singer but not a strong voice because they dubbed over her voice in My Fair Lady.

  • jennifer love hewitt is just not audrey hepburn. why. why would they even do that.

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt?! It's like watching Adam West play Laurence Olivier.

  • i love this girl very much.. im a big fan of her.

    i had watched all her movies and sang all her singles.

    sexiest actress for me.. and has a great smile.

  • SHE IS AWSOMELY GREAT!!! i wish i had a voice like that!! Big fan of Jennifer Love Hewitt!!

  • AUDREY - YES !!! JENNIFER - NO !!!

  • Jennifer Love Hewitt looks like an ugly tramp next to Audrey Hepburn. She's got NOTHING on her, nothing.

  • This movie was so so bad....

  • I think she did better than Audrey! Although I like Audrey better as an actress. For that matter, I say Jennifer, forget the ghosts, go sing instead.

  • shes a good singer, really hot much too.

  • hmmm.... I liked audrey better..... i wish she didnt die.. audrey definatly looked like she had more class for some reason..... dont k why.... shes trying to sound like her but she dosnt..... I wish audrey was still alive maybe she could have narrated the film or something.... hmmm ;[

  • nothing against her, but they should remake this with someone who acts and looks more like Audrey Hepburn

  • Could she suck anymore?

  • ok i like how she sang it but i just cant see her as audrey hepburn. i was hoping for Natalie Portman to play her. she looks more like her!

  • @xtrordinarygrl15 Natalie looks more glam model. Natalie's looks are so cookie cutter, by the book of what's accepted as pretty, big eyes full lips. Where Audrey has thinner lips and instead of just big eyes, cat eyes, big and slanted! Jennifer love is actually a daintier version of Audrey. Jen is a Pisces also which Audrey was born with a Moon in Pisces so they tend to act similar. Both have quite calm demeanor. But obviously Audrey had more star quality b/c of her moon/Pisces.

  • I didn't know she also sings!... but this girl sings very well!!

  • is this from a movie? where did this come from? its awesome.

  • no one can live up to audrey hepburn's legacy but i still think that jennifer did a lovely job with her rendition

  • What a disgrace to the original version!

  • she doesnt has any of Audrey's charm or beauty

  • sensational. i love the color and rasp of her voice

  • she can sing but i do not love her version of the song, but she can sing.

  • Is it just me or does Jennifer Love Hewitt become increasingly adorable each day!

  • its a bit too pop sounding for me i like audrey's wayyyyyy better lol but this is acceptable

  • sorry, but jennifer love hewitt does not do audrey hepburn justice with her version. she sounds like shes trying too hard to sing well

  • Audrey Hepburn was a true film icon and Jennifer's rendition of this great song is very touching. She did it a lot like Audrey did in the movie and I think she would love it. Very moving.

  • no i think the actress that could justify audrey hepburn is natalie portman, other than that I couldn't think of any actress who could portray her- her beauty, style and elegance. I wasn't born of her era so I grew up not particularly knowing her...not until moon river became my very first piano piece that I adore...The song had been a sweet part of my childhood since then... and I searched the song, learned about Audrey and discovered why she became so famous at her time. By now, I know why. :)

  • I think this bit was put in purely to showcase JLH's voice and to boost her failing singing career!

  • i think anne hathaway would have played her well ...she has a similar poise...and she just soo cute!

  • @LaFlacs

    only problem is that she was like 8 when this movie was shot

  • @Iliares lol yeah i guess your right...nevr thought about that and wasnt sure when this movie was made ..

  • @Iliares actually she wasn't even born but b@T is one of my favorite movies of all time(im 16) and so audrey is my fav actress and yes of course she doesnt look the same nor sings the same and probably nobody will ever do but do I do think jhl has some resemblance and the petite frame (thou audrey was taller)and fine gestures r a lot alike i do love this version and think she was more than perfect to recreate such a perfect actress. 5 stars

  • The reason she was chosen for the part was probably because she was the co-executive producer of the movie!

  • I think Jennifer Love Hewitt has a beautiful voice, but if I'm not mistaken, she's playing the role of Audrey Hepburn? Because she sounded NOTHING like Audrey in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

  • i still don't know why hewitt was chosen for this role, she resembles nothing to Hepburn in both atmosphere and appearance. i think the closest we have today is Natalie Portman

  • Not a Jennifer Love Hewitt fan, but I'm going to admit she sings pretty well. BUT, I think the way Audrey Hepburn sang Moon River is one of her defining movie moments and it's lost here because it was sung just as anyone would sing it. There were breaks and imperfections (which in turn made it perfect) that revealed emotion in the song, JLH's version was just someone singing the words and exuding nothing else.

  • How about Grace Kelly......Just as Beautiful or if I am may dare to better!!!! They are both stunning. This era did produce some beauties. Can anyone name a few they think are in the same class?????

  • @kitcho100

    I don't see where Grace Kelly fits in this picture - you lost me there.

  • Grace Kelly was beautiful as well! As far as other actresses of the same calibre, I don't know...Greta Garbo? Natalie Wood?

  • such lovely

  • Whoops! I don't know who Audrey Hepburn is, but, apparently, she was very famous... I'm going to get a lot of thumbs down for that, aren't I? I'm only thirteen! Audrey Hepburn died three years before I was born. If it weren't for the fact that I'm a huge Jennifer Love Hewitt fan, I would never have even heard of Audrey

    Hepburn. All I know is that Love sounded GREAT singing Moon River. I've looked at a picture of Audrey, and... Love doesn't look like her, but is still very beautiful.

  • There was never a more beautiful woman in every respect in this world than Audrey Hepburn.

  • @koolperson818 time to watch some movies made before 1995... being 13 is not an excuse for not know of one of the most famous actresses of all time. not trying to be mean, but seriously, that's like saying you've never heard of JFK.

  • @feelthejoy excuse me if I'm not older than 14. excuse me if I don't know her because of my age. plus, of course I know JFK, because they teach me about him in SCHOOL. sorry, but they don't teach me about famous HOLLYWOOD ACTRESSES in school. plus, i'm sorry, but Audrey Hepburn is DEAD, and she's been dead since '93. because of that and the fact that I really don't care about what happens in Hollywood, I have not heard of Audrey Hepburn. just because you're a huge fan of her, doesn't mean I am.

  • Comment removed

  • well this was sweet i loved it

  • oh, its not as good as audreys and barbra streisands version!but i like her-she did a great performance in the audrey hepburn story,but she`s not a singer...still a great movie:-)

  • 'she's not a singer'? Love? that's BS. Love has at least four recordings, each very very good. I think Love's version of Moon River is beautiful.

  • @koolperson818 She is just amazing in every way. An amazing actress, singer, and person. A celebrity who is not full of herself and doesn't think she's better than everyone else! Very refreshing! I personally like this song better than Ms. Hepburn's version!

  • @koolperson818 Agreed :)

  • this is beautiful..........but!  She's playing Audrey Hepburn........Audrey didn't sing it like a pop star..........sooooooooo......­....yeah
