Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Streisand is stunning, but the film is a trial, particularly when the music disappears somewhere around the 90-minute mark and all that's left is leaden melodrama.

Barbra Streisand in her Hollywood debut makes a marked impact.

It is impossible to praise Miss Streisand too highly; hard to find much to praise about the rest of the film.

fresh:
The fun is there whenever Streisand is, and that could be reason enough for reacquainting yourself with Funny Girl.
