Movie Reviews of Funny Girl
Movie Review: 5 Stars
This is THE movie I have been waiting for on DVD! It has been my favorite film since I was a kid and saw it on a Sunday matinee on tv.I can't wait to see it in letterbox. Finally, we will see Anne Francis face when she sticks her head in the dressing room and asks "Did he fire ya yet??" I hope they punched up the color and hopefully there will be added stuff like on the Way We Were DVD. That is a great DVD also. This is THE star turn for Barbra. I feel safe to say it is her best performance ( although some feel TWWW is). All I know is I am SO thrilled to add it to my DVD collection. Now all we need is What's Up Doc? and On a Clear Day......ENJOY!!!!!!
Movie Review: A Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
"Funny Girl" is not perfect. The film starts out like a beautiful fairy tale (a.k.a. Cinderella) which comes dangerously close to becoming sickeningly sweet before it finally takes a dark turn. Even as it is, the more serious conflict is subdued compared to the romance. The conclusion to this video is a bit too abrupt.
"Funny Girl" is not perfect, but it deserves its status as a 5 star classic. The stellar performances of Barbra Streisand and Omar Sharif are haunting and will stay with the viewer long after the movie is done. The good outweighs the bad. This is one film that everyone who loves movie classics should see.
Movie Review: This is a Masterpiece!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am NOT a Barbara fan at all and i don't think of her as a nice person either but in this film she is magic! I really don't think anybody else could really play the part of Fanny except for her. If you ever see any of Fanny Brice's movies you can see that Babs and her are very much alike to the point of being scary.I am also glad that this film has been restored to it's natural Roadshow quality which is the only reason why i bought it. So i do recommend this DVD highly but if you read my review on "Hello Dolly" you'll notice that i wasn't kind at all. But just like Funny Girl was written for Barbara, Hello Dolly was written for Carol Channing,,,,end of story.Movie Review: Barbra makes US the luckiest people in the world...
Summary: 5 Stars
I am SO happy that Barbra has decided to release this on DVD. I have the VHS version, but DVD will bring it back to it's theatrical life, that it deserves! There is no one like Barbra, and never will be again in our lifetime. My only hope is that she will include a lot of behind the scenes, making of, etc on this video. Also, Barbra, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE release your other movies AND just as important, your TV shows on DVD, especially the ones that were never released on VHS, Belle of 14th Street, Barbra Streisand and other Musical Instruments. How about a DVD showing all of your TV appearances. THAT would truly be a gift to your fans. How about it GORGEOUS?Movie Review: BARBRA`S BEST MUSICAL
Summary: 5 Stars
They weren`t sure they wanted her for the movie("She`s so odd looking... even ugly at times") and the story tells that Barb had to submit herself to an extensive test on film in front of the Columbia executives...
It really is a vehicle for Barbra! She dominates the film completely and no other in the cast challanges her a bit. Even so, it is a good-looking film directed by Master William Wyler(but musical scenes directed by Herbert Ross) and though Barbra`s Fanny Brice is abnormally ambitous; she still manages us to feel for her, like her, admire her and above all... care for her...
It really is a must for drama-musical-lovers.
