Movie Reviews of Funny Girl/Funny Lady
Movie Review: Hello Barbra!
Summary: 5 Stars
Imagine making your first movie and it becoming an instant classic?
Barbra Streisand was already a star of records/ television and, of course, the stage where FUNNY GIRL was first presented. But could she transfer her quirky, highly exotic looks and original and undefined personality to the screen?
She did and you only have to watch a few minutes of FUNNY GIRL to know that the woman is a star who rightly has earned her place.
From the opening lines to the end where she breaks the rules and does a live performance of "My Man", the film clearly belongs to Ms. Streisand. (Note: I recall seeing the film at the Criterion theater in NYC during the Christmas holidays in 1969; the management would open up the doors leading to the street for the last five minutes of the reserved seating film. Would you believe people would wait out in the cold just to hear Barbra sing "My Man"? Well they did and that is the kind of star power that makes both FUNNY GIRL and FUNNY LADY nothing short of fantastic.)
Although FUNNY LADY is not the film that FUNNY GIRL is, give it a chance. Produced in the "new style" way of CABARET, the camera got more into the musical numbers so that a bit of the staginess and old fashion charm is lost. That does not mean that, again, Barbra Streisand does not pull off another major coup.
Good singing/ acting and fantastic family fun. Who can ask for more?
