Film Review: Roman Holiday

Hello Everyone!

I'm not a fan or should I say I was not a fan of old movies, but after watching Breakfast at Tiffanies starring Audrey Hepburn. I just "had" to watch another movie with her as the protagonist of course.

But after watching this movie, I actually came to like this movie a bit more then Breakfast at Tiffanies. I found this film to be more cute and funny. Though the story plot itself has been over used by this current time, but the ending was an original "realistic" ending.

I recommend this cute, quirky, extremely funny (in my opinion) movie to everyone who loves Romantic Comedies. This is a classic movie you just have to watch at some point in your life, preferably right now.
