#1 Cheap Funny Girl/Funny Lady Reviews
Special Price Today Go To Store!! (Limited Time Offer)
This DVD package is good for all those who love the Fanny Bryce saga. Funny Girl is of course the better of the two but the packaging is great and the both shows very entertaining for the whole family if you are into musicals. Striesand won an Academy Award for best actress for Funny Girl (her first film) it ran for years here in Melbourne and I went to see it multiple times, with family and friends. Still a classic.
Funny Girl/Funny Lady Overview
A collection of two musical films in which Barbra Streisand plays real-life comedienne, Fanny Brice.
I would buy Funny Girl, but not Funny Lady - Dav1d - Rock Hill, SC
My family and I became instant Streisand fans the night we saw "Hello Dolly" and have always been big musical fans so I thought I would buy this set that got such great reviews.
I loved Funny Girl, the music, Streisand's acting, and the clean comedy which just seems natural. I would recommend buying it to any musical fans, especially with the huge musical hits in the movie.
Funny Lady on the other hand is a disappointing follow up. The plot for the most part is okay, but the songs aren't spectacular (when there are any), they don't seem natural, and there are just enough to keep it classified as a musical, although Streisand has a few good solos. Over all I would classify the movie as more of a drama than a musical. My main problem is the language and other content though. Everything but the f-bomb is dropped in this movie which contains so many curse words I lost track. Don't get me wrong, I expected this from anything made by Columbia, especially combined with Tri Star in the mid 70's, but I was hoping for the sake of following up a great musical like "Funny Girl" that they would clean the sequel up a bit from the rest of their movies. I was very disappointed. Would not recommend this movie for the family, unless you have a decent cuss box that is.
Overall I would recommend, as others have, buying "Funny Girl" and renting "Funny Lady" if you are curious, like I was, what will happen where "Funny Girl" leaves off. I would not recommend buying the set because Funny Lady is one of those movies where it might be good to see but only see once. And you will find it sitting on your shelf for a very long time.
