This Audrey Hepburn movie is more style than substance. The look of the whole film is really amazing. The story is nice but it has up and down moments.

MCT:July 20, 2008Audrey looks truly happy when she is in her dancing scene. As if she had come out of her shell. Simply divine.

I am turning into a big girl. I can't even pretend I'm not. Four stars for Funny Face? What happened to Re-Animator Tim? No idea. But Lorelai Gilmore gives this movie her nod of approval, so who am I to say no to that. Plus, it's another movie off the 501!
I can't stress this enough. This is a really girly movie. There's little to appeal to guys in this one. Imagine Audrey Hepburn doing The Devil Wears Prada. Yeah. That's not the worst of it. The first song is all about how pink is the color to wear this year. There's a pink dance where painters cover everything with pink. There's no justifying my masculinity with this one. But it's so good. I mean, I love both Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn independently, but putting them together? Sheer gold! I don't buy the romantic attachment between the two of them, but that's part of the fantasy aspect of musicals. This one asks you to stretch your imagination a bit too far at times, but if you are really looking for just an uplifting musical comedy, this is the one for you.
Also, (not unlike An Affair to Remember) the location does a lot for the movie. The last musical I watched before this one was An American in Paris and that (obviously) was set in Paris as well. There's nothign that I can say about Paris that hasn't been said a thousand times before, but I will say that it's not the worst idea to set a movie here. Every shot is perfect and you ahve to appreciate the "exploring Paris" dance. Yes, it's completely shamelsss, but if you are going to have such a great location, I don't blame you for exploiting the hell out of the entire city.
Also, there's those Gap ads which are now considered blasphemous. I mean, putting "Back in Black" over something far classier is just a cheap movie., Yes, I get the fact that you were selling thin black pants, but that was lame as hell. Which is funny, because I really like the clip of Audrey doing her thing. -

Love this movie..Audrey Hepburn was the perfect choice for this movie, and Fred Astaire is a fantastic dancer...
One of my all time favourite classics... -

ridiculous song & dance numbers put me off (extras act as props, not reacting at all -- even when one is singing in their face or sprawling on their lap). but Hepburn steals the show with her engaging vitality.

How anyone can accuse the dance sequences of being mediocre is beyond me, anything that has Fred Astaire's brilliant movements in cannot be bad. I admit there were a few times I thought Audrey could have done a little better, but I put that down to two thing - first off, I've seen Fred dancing with a huge number of people now, and everyone is bound to be different from the other, and secondly, it is easy to think someone could be doing better when they are dancing next to the genius of Astaire!
I loved the dance scene outside her window he did, it made me laugh, and I loved their dance scene in the church yard, the setting just made it so much more beautiful.
The story was cute, and it had some amazing songs, I really loved Astaire's version of 'I Love Your Funny Face'. I also loved all the Paris locations and some of the outfits Hepburn wore were spectacular. -

A disspaointing musical. It was a nice story but I did not like the songs and the dancing just seemed mediocre. An ok film, since there are certainly better musicals out there but if you're a big fan of Audrey Hepburn then definetly give it a watch, it's good enough.

Fashion photographer Dick Avery (Fred Astaire), in search for an intellectual backdrop for an air-headed model, expropriates a Greenwich Village bookstore. When the photo session is over the store is left in a shambles, much to salesgirl Jo Stockton's (Audrey Hepburn) dismay. Avery stays behind to help her clean up. Later, he examines the photos taken there and sees Jo in the background of one shot. He is intrigued by her unique appearance, as is Maggie Prescott (Kay Thompson), the editor of a leading fashion magazine. They offer Jo a modeling contract, which she reluctantly accepts only because it includes a trip to Paris. Eventually, her snobbish attitude toward the job softens, and Jo begins to enjoy the work and the company of her handsome photographer.

Haha, you have all the qualities of Peter Pan! Despite the awkward age difference, this is a lovely movie.

A good musical, but not incredible. Some of the songs are quite boring, and a lot of astaire's dancing can get old by the end of the song

Do u remember watching "Funny Face" in the movie theater or on TV movie? It's so good. Audrey Hepburn starred in it. She's fantastic! Thank goodness, it had a closed caption now on TV movie. Before that, I didn't understand what actors are saying each other but I enjoyed listening to that music in the background of this movie.

Charming! One of the most fun musicals out there, and, while maybe a bit lacking in chemistry, Audrey and Astaire are both quite brilliant.

This is one of my favorite Hepburn movies, which is saying a lot, because I mostly can't stand musicals. My favorite scene is when she is dancing in the Beatnik bar, which has recently been used by the GAP in their skinny black pant advertising campaign.
-
MCT:August 22, 2007Watch it for all the awesome fashions Hepburn wears throughout the movie. Some of them are still "in" today.

Can't say that I loved this movie though it was pretty good.
The thing that I loved the most about the movie is Paris sights; it's always pleasant to see old Paris, it has changed a lot since.
