In Sabrina, love is the theme-iest theme—the theme all other themes look at with longing looks and dreamy sighs. Love is the goal of the plot, and also the motivator. Characters are inspired by love, and changed by love, and then, when they're all done, they're rewarded with love.
Love is more important than business, more important than class, and more important than age. Sabrina is a big, scented love letter to love. If you love love, you'll love Sabrina. And if you don't, Sabrina will furrow it's brow and tell you to get off to Paris already.
