Top CriticThis is supposed to be an attack on Hollywood, but it seems that Cukor has tunnel vision.

Ms. Streisand has a great voice and a great stage presence, and she has made a number of good films in her career. For me, A Star Is Born is not one of them.

An ego project for Streisand and then companion Jon Peters, or a director (Frank Pearson), who can't handle his leading lady. Either way: This remake, marred by a fake, overly sentimental ending, is only worth seeing for Streisand's singing.

hopelessly stuck in the bell-bottomed clichés of the ‘70s... hasn’t aged well and isn’t much fun to watch
