This extended Streisand Special has done absolutely nothing to correct the flaws in the Broadway original.

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.

Top CriticGiven how she grew into perhaps the most annoyingly egocentric entertainer in all the world, it's difficult to imagine that Barbra Streisand was once an ingenue.

Few film debuts in the 1960s were more auspicious than that of Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl.

Well worth watching, even if most later Streisand movies aren't.

I wish William Wyler's direction was more inventive and humurous (it's his first musical), but Streisand gives a meteoric performance, as Fanny Frice and as herself, showing a tremendous charismatic presence that goes beyond physical looks and acting.

There's a reason to see this revival and it's called Barbra: fair enough?

In any other hands this might seem like paper-thin stuff, but Streisand's a consummate professional with the Midas touch.

A worthwhile nostalgia trip.

It looks absolutely gorgeous -- a dye-transfer process has given more life to the already striking colors.
