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.

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