After a whirlwind romance, Fanny marries Billy Rose (James Caan), and the two agree to collaborate on a show.

Habe Funny Girl und Lady.. Barbra Streisand ist ein großartiger Star.

Reviews were lukewarm to negative. Vincent Canby (New York Times) wrote, "As long as Streisand is singing the blues, Funny Lady is superb entertainment, but when she stops the movie turns into a concrete soufflé... heavy and tasteless ... Moments meant to be dramatic are embarrassingly bad."
Roger Ebert gave the film 1 star out of 4, calling it "a big, messy flop of a movie that's almost cruel in the way it invites our memories of Funny Girl and doesn't match them."
Gene Siskel (Chicago Tribune) gave it 2.5 stars out of 4 and wrote, "It takes few chances and delivers what you'd expect ... What was missing was a sense of surprise - the sort of wit or pacing that separates a memorable musical like Cabaret from the merely tuneful."
Pauline Kael (New Yorker) wrote, "Streisand's singing is terrific - too terrific. It's that strident overdramatization that turns a song into a big number. The audience's attention is directed away from the music and onto the star's feat in charging it with false energy."
It is worth noting that Barbra's initial impulse was NOT to make this movie.

Ain't Wikipedia grand!
Who cares about critics? The only true test of art is TIME. Everything else is wholly subjective, frequently flawed opinion.
The best description I ever heard of critics, likened them to Eunuchs at an orgy. They presume to tell everyone else how it should be done - but they sure can't do it themselves! 🙄

Better than Funny Girl. Yep, I said it.

Kander and Ebb have written some good songs for this overblown self indulgent turkey - the best being a lovely ballad 'Isn't This Better?' which should be better known, but the film itself is embarrassing. And whoever designed Streisand's huge, immovable wigs should be shot. 'There's Gonna be a Great Day' is the only reason to watch it frankly. And there are shots in the trailer that aren't in the film.
