Product: Funny Girl [VHS] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
A Classic
"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.
