TV movie quality. There was some interesting information about her that I didn't know, but other than that I struggled. It was on Amazon.

Jennifer Love Hewitt flawlessly presents Hepburn's voice inflections, body language and microexpressions in a fine performance. I wish the story revealed more the of the subject's complexity, such as the impact of her father's abandonment and rejection on her adult relationships, as much as it spoke to her broadly known charm.

Definitely watch "Breakfast at Tiffany's" first before watching this because the action wisely centers around the filming of that iconic film. I think Jennifer Love Hewitt did a fine job. Of course die hard Hepburn fans were upset because they had unreasonable expectations of who should have portrayed her. Hewitt really mastered Hepburn's inexplicable "clickety" accent - both elegant and reminiscent of a stammerer trying to get every syllable just right. The story is a series of memories from Hepburn's troubled childhood, marked by miraculous events, which cause her to stumble into acting, fortune, and fame. I didn't love the "flashback" structure but still, the scenes were very enjoyable. Strong acting all around so I don't feel that anyone "stole" the show or was trying to capitalize on Ms. Hepburn's life to make a quick buck. It's an easy afternoon film to watch with anyone and feel happy and nostalgic for a legendary actress and a time in acting history that may never come again.

I am a huge fan of Hepburn and thought Hewitt did her justice (at least as much as anyone can). Interesting and well acted.

I really hated JLH as Audrey. She doesn't look like her, she doesn't talk like her. Nothing actually. Of course nobody can be the same, but I feel like there were so much more beter choices to play Audrey. This fact made the movie a total blunder, imo.
