Funny Face Reviews

Honestly, since I'm not a huge fan of musicals, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the damned thing but since I have always had a weak spot for Audrey Hepburn, I thought it might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, even though it was watchable,  I can't say I really enjoyed. I have to confess, I haven’t seen as many movies as I wish starring Audrey Hepburn but this movie must be the most boring one I have seen so far. I mean, sure, Hepburn was just really charming as usual and Fred Astaire was definitely a fine dancer (I would always prefer Gene Kelly though) but the story was just way too fluffy for my taste. Obviously, I’m fully aware that it is a trademark in this genre but it doesn’t change the fact that the whole thing felt rather tedious. Furthermore, I don’t think that Astaire and Hepburn had a really great chemistry. I mean, I don’t know if you have noticed it but Audrey Hepburn’s characters were always falling in love with some much older guys and maybe it was fine back in those days but if they would do the same thing today, it would look kind of creepy. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of its flaws, it was still a decent watch and I guess it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
