Movie Reviews of Funny Girl
Movie Review: Hello! This Movie is Georgous
Summary: 5 Stars
What a tour de force!!! Barbra's first movie is AMAZING!!!I think Babs was born to play Fanny Brice. What a wonderful and
beautiful portrayal of a young woman struggling to try to "fit"
onstage and then "makes it big" Of course Barbra's singing is
just too perfect and her acting is amazing. I think it is her
best movie. Her comedic timing in this movie is so natural that
she should have done standup. Her comedy movies of the 70's
definately showcase her comedic gifts. One sad note, of course,
is Barbra's character "Fanny" just loves Nicky Awnstein too much.
He knows he isn't good for her and lets her go. He really broke
her heart. So, if you want a movie with vintage style from the 20's, Fabulous Singing, Dancing, Wonderful Costumes, and a great
story, then please watch this movie. It is #1 on my list.
Enjoy.
Movie Review: One of the last great movie musicals!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a wonderful film "Funny Girl" is! From the opening chords of the overture to the final fade-out and exit music, it is a real treat for the eyes and ears!Wonderful direction, stunning costumes and sets and amazing performances all come together to make a truly memorable film. An added bonus of this particular incarnation is the widescreen presentation. This, coupled with a lovely, clear picture and great sound, probably make this the best available "Funny Girl" around. The bonus features are pretty good, too, particularly the two vintage featurettes which were made around the time that "Funny Girl" was filmed. All in all a terrific presentation which I would recommend to anyone, whether they like movie musicals or not!Movie Review: What a great movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
James Caan and Barbara Streisand are awesome togetherThis is a great movie. I originally saw it because it was on AFI's 100 greatest romances. And it is a great romance, because the movie's character's have the kind of chemistry of people who love each other, but also relentlessly get on each other's nerves (and if you've seen "Two For The Road or are a fan of Sam and Diane, then you know that those are some of the best stories). Don't rent this is you're looking for the typical boy meets girl formula. Rent this if you want to hear great music (I'm buying the soundtrack immediately) and see Barbra's awesome acting chops (her character, Fanny Bryce is the kinda hard-nosed girl who says everything you'd want to say) this is an absolute must-see.
Movie Review: At last! Funny Girl on DVD!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have waited and waited and I am pleased to announce that the wait was well worth it. Having seen Funny Girl many times in its pan and scan version, I was very eager to see what I'd been missing all these years. The restored widescreen version makes this usually enjoyable film even more so. The colors are brilliant, the images crisp, and the restored letterbox format really adds to the overall brilliance of the cinematography. I will say that although I have a top of the line home theater sound system, I didn't notice a remarkable improvement in sound, but Streisand still sounded incredible! I would strongly urge anyone who is a fan of Streisand, or the American musical to purchase this DVD.Movie Review: Sing Barbra Sing....
Summary: 5 Stars
By the time Barbra made Funny Girl (her movie debut) , she was already a Broadway singing diva. Thankfully, she is forever immortalized on cellioud as Fanny Brice, the funny girl in Funny Girl. With Funny Girl she got to belt out (as only Barbra can belt) multiple show stopping numbers including "People", "Don't Rain on My Parade" and the exhilerating "My Man". She sang, she acted and she charmed 1968 movie goers who lined up to make Funny Girl a box office smash. Then she won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Actress in 1968. WAY to go girl! You deserved all the praise you got for Funny Girl. What a performance! A MUST HAVE DVD for the classic musicals collectors and/or Barbra fans.
