   Critics consensus Barbara Streisand elevates this otherwise rote melodramatic musical with her ultra-memorable star turn as Fanny Brice. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

   Funny Girl. The trouble with "Funny Girl" is almost everything except Barbra Streisand. She is magnificent. But the film itself is perhaps the ultimate example of the roadshow musical gone overboard. It is over-produced, over-photographed and over-long. The second half drags badly.

   Why should you see the movie version of Funny Girl?

   • [Barbra Streisand] is the best of all possible reasons to see the movie version of the musical. In short, she is sublime -- which saves the film as a whole from suffocating under its own glossy, ill-conceived hugeness. In Barbra Streisand Funny Girl thumps down an ace. It's hard to think of Funny Girl, in fact, apart from Barbra Streisand.

   Is Funny Girl a good musical?

   • Her closing rendition of "My Man" is very effective (and was copied by Diana Ross in Lady Sings the Blues). Big and bright and splashy, Funny Girl is one of the last great, old-style musicals produced in Hollywood. Omar Sharif, Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Kay Medford, Mae Questel, Frank Faylen, and Lee Allen co-star.

   Who directed Funny Girl?

   • FUNNY GIRL was directed by William Wyler, and Wyler was notorious for doing his films his way until they were gotten right. He would do and redo a scene for the closest thing to perfection he could get. It is notable that he and Streisand did not end up at loggerheads on the set but worked pretty nicely together.
