I loved it. Lady Gaga needs to shed her rock star image and concentrate more on serious singing. She has a great voice. And Bradley Cooper I found to be very attractive, but then I’ve always been drawn to rock musicians. Unfortunately I went to see it with a friend of mine who lost her husband this past May and the day we saw it would have been their 50th wedding anniversary. Didn’t know it was going to be so sad. I’ve never seen the other versions of this movie, but I did like this one.
The Janet Gaynor/Fredric March ASIB didn't do anything for me because I'm not a big Janet Gaynor fan and, even though she was a big star in real life, I have trouble believing her transformation in the movie.
The Streisand/Kristofferson version is a movie I wouldn't seek out again, but if I come across it on TV I will always watch it, because it's so awful it's good. It's like rubbernecking a 20 car pileup on I-95.
