No surprise here

Rating: 3/10 (26 September 2018)

If you've had the opportunity to see the first version with Janet Gaynor and Fredric March, the second version with Judy Garland and James Mason, and the third version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, then you're more than schooled on this story. Why another version is made, I'll never know. Hollywood is losing their originality in film. This particular version was just OK for me - the usual hype and usual story. Nothing fantastic, nothing fabulous. Just another remake. Music from Streisand's version was the best for me. Gaga is too old for the part and Cooper doesn't fit the part. Can't see all the hype in this - but if you're the 20-30 year old crowd, it will hit the charts. And, if you are in that bracket, take the time to check the other versions of this story. They might surprise you. This one just does not.
