Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

atomicgirl-34996 Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of those films I desperately wanted to like. It starred Audrey Hepburn at the peak of her beauty and fame, and it captured the glamour and sophistication of the early 1960s right before it went to hell.But in all honesty, I couldn't really love this film. It's not bad. It's just average. I think I've always felt lackluster about it because of the casting. Holly is supposed to be a dumb hick from the sticks who's pretending to be something she's not. Though Hepburn is quite fetching pretending to be a NYC socialite, she's completely miscast as a country rube. Apparently, Truman Capote desperately wanted Marilyn Monroe to star as Holly and was bitterly disappointed when Hepburn was chosen. Being that Monroe came from humble beginnings in real life and had a fragility about her, I can see how someone like her would've been a better choice for the role. As for George Peppard, he is an even worse casting choice than Hepburn. He's handsome enough, but he's completely wooden, has no personality and zero chemistry with Audrey Hepburn. He's so bad here that I consider him one of the luckiest men in Hollywood; no way would someone this wooden have lasted more than a year before being shown the door. Yet he was able to sustain a career lasting decades and even became the star of two TV series, Banacek and The A Team. (Lucky him.)As for the love story itself, even though it was based around edgy material, it was surprisingly pedestrian and cliche. The ending was so incredibly predictable that it just ended with a huge clang for me. I suppose I would've enjoyed it more had the leads been better cast. As meh as I am about the movie, its one saving grace (and what makes it watchable in spite of its average-ness) is the extended party scene at Holly's apartment. That scene makes the entire movie for me. For one, it's fun to see so-called 1960s sophisticates let it all hang out. Secondly, you can tell that everyone, especially Blake Edwards, had a blast shooting it, and that he loved it so much that it inspired him to later film The Party with Peter Sellers in 1968. It was the right call because that movie wound up being the most fun and the funniest out of any Edwards film next to Victor, Victoria.All in all, I didn't really enjoy Breakfast at Tiffany as much as I would've liked. 6/10, with the 6 being for the fun party scene and how beautiful and stylish Hepburn looks.

mherrin-43253 Breakfast at Tiffany's: Directed by Blake Edwards and written by George AxelrodThis classic of cinema is considered a romantic comedy. I'm here to say they must have had very different definitions of what that meant back in the early 60s. The undercurrent behind this story is tragic. Two people hiding from what they used to be. They can reinvent themselves to be whoever they want. Holly Golightly does this on a nightly basis. They are running from something. For Paul, he seems to be running from his inability to write. He is running from being a kept man diminishing what he sees as his control over his life. Holly is running from the life she left behind with Doc and his children. It is strongly implied that he forced her into a marriage she didn't want at a tender young age. She seemed to do this out of love for her brother. Honestly there is so much more to the character of Holly Golightly than just the fun, carefree frothy lifestyle she lives. The parties are a mask. Paul falls for this carefree woman at first but he loves the woman behind the facade. Holly is a force of nature though. He can't have her no matter how much he might want to. He acts in the way the forceful way he shouldn't. The elephant in the room though is the awful racist caricature played by Mickey Rooney. It's painful every time he comes on screen and he shows up fairly early in the runtime. He makes your skin crawl watching him in 2018. I understand getting upset at a movie made in 1961 about a character in 2018 is kind of silly but man does it bring this movie down a notch or two. Also how Paul behaves towards Holly is very uncomfortable to watch. I understand this is a movie where two people care for each other but never speak it out of discomfort. Holly is good for Paul but is Paul good for Holly, can anybody really be good for her?Audrey Hepburn is truly amazing in this movie. It is the part that solidified her legend. It is earned because she makes the movie. She makes it entertaining. She makes it watchable. George Peppard really keeps up with her pace when he needs to. We understand why he might fall in love with her.I give this movie a B. It's worth checking it out at least once.

ladytrol This movie is the one you have to see if you consider yourself to be a intellectual human at all. Deeply disturbing in existential way but all wrapped up in romantic scenery, with adorable and unachievable Audrey Hepburn...

Smoreni Zmaj One of the best romantic comedies of all time. Any further comment is superfluous. <310/10
