Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Funny Girl (1968)

I hated the mugging, etc., the one true laugh came from her pregnant bride moment. Streisand is no physical comedienne. Sharif was sad-eyed, and I never believed that he loved his bride. The musical numbers bored me stiff and the "Swan Lake" routine was an embarrassment. But...it IS watchable and, when Streisand's singing without her New Yawk over-accent, her voice is lovely.
