Review of Funny Lady (1975) by Mloy X — 20 Nov 2011
Like many sequels, this one failed to live up to the oriinal. I almost regret watching this because it completely broke my heart. The players were good, but delivery was full of flaws. Unfortunately, as good as Mr.
Caan is he's no Omar (Oh My) Sharif. Mr. Caan didn't have the charisma and chemistry Streisand had with Sharif. I guess it is just really hard to live up to Nicky Arnstein. Where Funny Girl had humor, charm and a killer soundtrack, Funny Lady had odd, inconsequencial musical numbers and a crass atittude.
It's too bad, I really wanted to like this film.
