A romantic film that also includes animal cruelty, rampant alcoholism, shoplifting, racism, a child bride and man-whoring. Peppard is terribly dull as the protagonist. The only decent performance is from Hepburn, but her annoying character is the kind of pretty girl that hangs around you and wants your attention because "you're so sweet and funny" only to never have sex with you but she will talk about her plans to bang this hot guy and that rich guy. Ugh. Maybe I have issues.

Iconic romantic comedy with moments of charm, but very little depth. Despite Hepburn's solid performance with nice character touches and some witty dialogue, I had trouble feeling drawn into the story. Peppard was dull, providing very little chemistry, and you just have to try ignore Rooney. The soundtrack was prominent, especially Hepburn's rendition of 'Moon River', but overall it felt like a collection of scenes rather than a complete film.

Audrey Hepburn isn't enough to over shadow what is ultimately a shallow celebration of 60's hedonism, with a thin veneer of a plot, a disturbingly racist portrayal of an Asian man and enough obligatory quirkiness to choke on. There's a thin thread of a dark past for character depth, but next to zero development and little chemistry between the romantic leads. In spite of all of this, part of me really wanted to like this film but I just never felt invested in any of the characters.

Oh man, why is this movie so beloved? Hepburn's acting is passable but her character is atrocious. She's like a version of Scarlett O'Hara that we're actually supposed to like. George Peppard is a cardboard cutout, the "comedy" is out of place and unfunny, and the dynamic between the leads is snooze-inducing. To top it off, the movie has what can only be described as the most offensively unfunny Chinese impersonation in human history. I'll give the movie a few points for the pretty colors.

Turning a novella of unfulfilled platonic longing into standardised Hollywood lovestory crap is regrettable. What's much worse, however, is that the comedy parts are terribly unfunny and the "Japanese" neighbour is an utter and complete disgrace ("everyone else was doing it" is NOT an excuse). Sure, Audrey Hepburn is cute as always, but that doesn't help much.

I really enjoyed Hepburn's performance, but she seemed like a smoldering supernova among co-starring bags of sand. Nothing happened that captivated me and there's not much of a cohesive narrative. I suppose this could be a jabbing comment on the New York lifestyle in general, but it doesn't leave me wanting to see it again anytime soon. Positives include the soundtrack and some of the camera work, but it's easy to see why Audrey's iconic debutante image is the only lasting cultural influence.

While I understand the appeal of Audrey Hepburn, I've never understood why people love this movie. The script barely resembles the source material, the ending doesn't work, George Peppard is more wooden than Pinocchio and don't even get me started on Mickey Rooney. If it weren't for Hepburn's stellar performance and charm, this movie would have been forgotten long ago.

Well, it's shallow, and the film has certainly forsaken fond memory, but it's worth watching solely for the exemplary quality of set design, costumes, and props (in that order). I love how rain levels the playing field in life. Everyone's equal when your clothes are wet and your hair's stuck to your face. Oh, and Cat.

Holly Golightly vacillates between intriguing and horrible but Aubrey Hepburn is sublime. Honestly might have enjoyed this even more if it weren’t for Mickey Rooney’s shockingly racist landlord butting in at inappropriate times for comedic relief.

Ridiculously overpraised film that is surely more of a pop culture classic than a genuine film one. Occasionally 'elitist' categories of differentiation serve a vital function: they allow us to separate the wheat from the chaff. Unless you have a crush on Hepburn or love Edwards, this film is pretty much a waste of time. Rooney's Japanese caricature is also outrageously offensive, especially by today's standards.

Incredibly, I know women who claim they want to be like Audrey Hepburn's Holly Golightly. I'm guessing that, like me, they were aware of the film without ever actually having sat down and watched it before. I found that watching it was like watching a Marilyn Monroe flick - you're left utterly stunned that pap like this is still getting pushed as "iconic" and "classic". Worth comparing to Pretty Woman for the frightening ease with which male filmmakers romanticise and celebrate prostitution.

I watched this movie right after reading the novella it was based on, so I had very definite expectations. The book isn't very deep, and the movie even less so. Hepburn is radiant, but she's too cute compared to the original character. Racism in this film is quite shocking. Considering how much influence on pop culture this film has I was expecting something better.

There's a lot of potential here but the end result is shallow. Most of the characters are bland, the ending is boring, and the racial caricature disgusting. But what still manages to propel it along is Hepburn - what a great actress, she brings her all here and really makes her character work. And a few scenes do really work quite well, like the party and wandering around New York. Shame about the rest of it.

Audrey plays this just like how I imagined Holly in the book, insufferably lost yet utterly charming. Peppard was so handsome when he was younger that it almost makes me nauseous, and I had/have the biggest crush on him. The movie doesn't necessarily match the graceful aimlessness of story all the time, but I think enough of the core is there to make it so memorable. 10 points off for Rooney's incredibly offensive and unnecessary performance. I want to hate the end but I can't, I just love this.

Between Audrey's looks, the romantic 'Moon River' theme song and a director of Edwards' caliber, this could really have been something special. Two things ruin it: the writing (Holly is too much of a bitch) and Rooney's somewhat disgraceful and 100% unfunny character.

Breezy and fun, especially when Hepburn and Peppard are playfully exploring NYC. Rooney's caricature is an unfortunate distraction, but my main issue is that Holly is a very flighty and unsympathetic character - a lot of fun in moments of frivolity, but when the film tries to explain her backstory or lack of attachment one wonders why Peppard so deeply loves this rather superficial and at times downright cruel woman.

A stylish and sophisticated film but always a little over rated for my taste. Certainly beautiful to look at both in terms of Audrey Hepburn and the classy cinematography but it has some quirky features that let it down. Mickey Rooney's landlord is tasteless by modern standards and probably misjudged even in the sixties. Slow in parts and somewhere between a romantic comedy and self-help documentary.

I'd save (read: never toss) the cat, so I guess that tells me what I need to know. ditch the racism, tho

Hepburn creates a character of unparalleled intrigue, joy, and tragedy -- and this picture allows her to revel in the role for at least a good hour straight. If you can look past the egregious yellowface and cheesy Hollywood finale, and I can't blame you if you can't, you're left with a breathlessly fun and transportive midcentury rom-com.

Fairly insipid Hepburn vehicle, and by no means deserving of the decades of praise lavished on it. Hepburn does a decent job but her character is a selfish bore who we're somehow meant to fall in love with. If dinner dresses and window displays amount to romance, you're dead inside. Truly a product of its times. I spent my teens watching Sex and the City. I like my New York socialites to be savvy and progressive. By comparison, Breakfast at Tiffany's is just dated, offensive old junk.

Misses out on a few keypoints in the character build (refering to the way capote sketched her), the original Holly is much more complex than Hepburn`s character. Instead, the film covers it all up in romancey chitchat and 60s orchestration. Such a pitty!

I started watching it pre-hating, with very low expectations (nearly forced by the myth), but I finally liked it as it can be more than it looks. There are still several elements I don't like, for example the awful asian character. Also the ending is horrible and doesn't fit with the complex aspect of the story, but the superficial and simple one. I would prefer them to have chosen wisely in that aspect, and considering it wasn't that way in the book, being faithful to that better ending.

I hated Holly Golightly. She never really changes her gold digging ways until except MAYBE the end. But that bitch still dumped Cat in the streets of New York. I would have raged SO HARD if something happened to Cat, the best character in the film. But still. As much as I hate Holly, I love this film. And I actually really like Paul. Though, the whole subplot with her ex-husband coming back was dumb.

50 of my 60 points are for that wonderful song "Moon River" by Henry Mancini, that lifts an otherwise very ordinary film. 10 points are for Audrey Hepburn looking elegant and beautiful, as always. 6 points are for the cat, called Cat. No points for forgettable George Peppard or wincingly racist Mickey Rooney depiction. Summary describes the ridiculously named Holly Golightly as a "socialite." *snicker* Try "call girl."

First impression years ago said this was a shallow movie. After becoming for familiar with Miss Hepburn's life in WWII, her movie career and finally her UNICEF days, I have to say that this role truly becomes her. The final scene strikes such a personal chord in me that it's almost haunting. Here we have this small girl in a big world who finally finds herself. Although the end differs from the book, it is well done nonetheless! Outstanding!

Hepburn is charming enough but this movie is so inane I have a hard time taking any of it seriously or caring. Hepburn's relationships are absurd; I don't buy into this idea that she would be so saccharine about a man she married when she was 14, not to mention this plot beat really didn't have much of a purpose. I also don't buy how a flighty, non-trusting girl could fall for someone as bland as Peppard, especially as the chemistry between to two is often awkward and unhealthy.

I think George Peppard is miscast. If the male lead was meant to be some form of wooden statuary, he'd have been perfect. It's a bit tricky holding the book being adapted against a movie, and often that's a mistake. Here I don't think it is. I don't really understand what turning this story into a romantic comedy is supposed to accomplish. It seems to remove it's reason for existing at all.

It's classic Audrey Hepburn, who manages to carry this on the weight of her presence alone. The plot is nothing special, and while the love story is endearing, the supporting cast don't do much supporting, and are instead propped up themselves by Hepburn. Forever immortalized in the Deep Blue Something song, which I almost like more than the movie. I, personally, love the racism, because fuck political correctness.

Watched right after reading the novella. What I liked about the novella is that the narrator is no more than a genuine observer. Obviously, for film this won't work, and that works a bit alienating. Hepburn however manages to give Holly even more character, even though some nuances are obviously lost in the film. I was looking forward to the horse-riding scene straight through traffic, unfortunately that didn't make the film :P
