Objective Rating: 7/10 (points off for concept, cinematography and music) c. 2.9/4 (Good).
Good movie. The story sounded terrible, but was in fact hilarious and kind of cute. Audrey Hepburn is adorable, of course. I didn't think Gregory Peck would be much of a comedic actor, but it turns out he's very funny. One of the best comedies I saw in 2008.
