Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A for effort; C for execution.
It's easy to forgive the movie a lot because of Streisand. She's fantastic.
With the script glossing whole areas of confrontation (from the communist '30s to the McCarthy witch-hunts), it often passes into the haze of a nostalgic fashion parade.
