Summary: Simply Wonderful
Review: This has it all as some may like to put it. With probably one of the best dancers that ever live(Fred Astaire) and a wonderful actress( Audrey Hepburn) this movie should already be a classic if it is not already. Being a 15 year old in this day and age unlike most people in my generation I love movies in the "Golden Age" especially musicals so whenever i began to watch this movie I knew I would love it. But I was blown away by the songs the dances the characters and the talent that Fred and Audrey show in this movie. so if you get the chance rent this movie or better yet buy it you won't be dissapointed

Summary: Everything a movie should be.
Review: This was an impulse buy. The name Audrey Hepburn sold it to me, and Fred Astaire was an extra bonus. I went home and popped it in the VCR, not knowing what to expect. Would be be a great movie or just another dust collector?I'll take the first one. This movie was phenomonal. I can't see why it wasn't produced on stage, as it was originally intended to, because it is just one of those amazing feel good musicals with great music by those uncanny Gershwins. Audrey Hepburn played the part of Jo perfectly, but a lot of people complained about her singing. Sure, she didn't do too great, but she has always been noted to have been extremely insecure of that voice. You could tell she had it in her, just because you could hear it underneath that gentle coating she put on for her first solo. Fred Astaire doesn't need to be commented on, being that he gave the same kind of performance that every actor/singer would want to be remembered for. Together, the two were an sensational duo, and the ending only leaves you with a warm fuzzy feeling. Supporting the two leads is the great Kay Thompson. As the unsinkable and head strong editor of 'Quality', she gives a performance that shows she belongs with the big-shots like Hepburn and Astaire. As a trio, especially in their sight-seeing number in Paris, they make the pieces fit together so well that it seems no one else should ever be allowed to touch the parts. The script was great. Taking the three heros from busy New York to beautiful Paris for an adventure in modeling and philosophy, it develpps each of them - Hepburn and Astaire moreso than Thompson - to make them more human. When combined with the toe-tapping, finger-snapping music by George and Ira, this movie can only be called S'Wonderful.

Summary: The best of Audrey in gay Paris
Review: One of many things Audrey Hepburn's movies are famous for is their romantic escapism to a Paris that only Audrey herself can really seem to appreciate. "Funny Face" is the most gaily painted and joyous of all her films that focus on that Parisian paradise. It is a delight to see Audrey at her care-free best--something that is only enhanced by the presence of the great Fred Astaire. The dancing scenes are as fun and exciting as the rest of the film. Being a musical, we get a glimpse of the terrible injustice done to Audrey when her voice was dubbed over for the songs in "My Fair Lady". Here, at least, we get a taste of the real thing and can perhaps imagine what "My Fair Lady" may have been like if its producers had not been so petty. If you love musicals and you love Audrey, don't bother renting this film. Go right ahead and buy it. I guarantee you won't be displeased. Besides, you'll want to watch it over and over again anyway. I promise.

Summary: LOVED this film!
Review: As a member of the younger generation of this country (I'm 17), I think it's terrible that the kids my age are growing up on the movies that Hollywood puts out now. What happened to classic films like this one? Audrey Hepburn is one of the best actresses to ever hit the big screen and Fred Astaire is just legendary! Give me a classic anyday, especially Funny Face!

Summary: the "coolest" and snazziest musical ever
Review: I echoe all the viewer comments. Just watch Audrey Hepburn express herself or, "release herself" as she said in the film, in a Bohemian modern ballet solo, called "Basal Metabolism". It is so cool and lively that would surprise any teenager today. It is timeless because it so stylish and chic. It reminds me of Michael Jackson's black tights with white socks; maybe he was inspired by Ms. Hepburn. And the beat of the music to which she performs is so good that it perfectly describes the "existentialist" atmosphere of the sourroundings. Ms. Hepburn shows that she can sing and dance with the same charming appeal as when she is acting. There is something special, ethereal in her limpid dancing and low note singing. Funny Face, really stands out from the typical musical of the 40's and 50's because of the superb performance of the three leading stars, the legendary and modern music and lyrics, and the stylish choreography, all under the skillful direction of Stanley Donen.

Summary: what more could you want?
Review: One of my all-time favorite musicals. It has Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn. Both adorable! It has comedy. Outright silliness. Surprises. And the music and dancing just the top. And the costumes and sets are so creative and colorful. And the scenes change from Manhattan to Paris. Just great stuff! Enjoy a lovely evening.

Summary: I could cry saltly tears,
Review: After hearing Ms. Hepburns sing that song her voice will be in head forever. Not a bad fate. this is the frist and perhaps only time in his many movies were astaire was given a partner of each techinical maret. Grace Kelly was good by she brought sex appeal not class to the act. What makes this movie among the better musical ever made is that on of the numbers are watching a stage act were people sings. Insteed, each number add somthing to the characters. the only draw back is the paper thin plot. But who cares as at least three magical close ups of Ms. Hebpurn make very thing right.

Summary: S'wonderful! S'marvelous!
Review: This classic musical truly satisfies your thirst for fabulous entertainment. Audrey Hepburn is at her best, and a while back it was said that the screen writer could not have written it without knowing Audrey herself. This movie unveils most of Audrey's true character-although I'm sure she isn't as involved with empathicalism as Jo Stockton. Fred Estaire is a charming photographer, with the beat at his feet. His choreography is so captivating, you can't take your eyes of the screen. Whether the music is lively, upbeat, or slow and lovely, you'll want to watch Funny Face again and again, as it is a s'marvelous classic musical that we'll all be glad to return to.
