I admit i never saw the Original 1970's starring Barbara Streisand but this particular version fell flat. First of all I don't know what the big deal is about Lady Ga Ga's acting....it's not very good. Bradley Cooper's acting isn't bad but he is far from a favorite actor of mine. Lady Ga Ga has obviously captured many of the youth today with her singing style... but it absolutely does nothing for me! There wasn't anything i can honestly say that i enjoyed about this movie. Within 24 to 48 hours it will he History!
