    Even though it reunites the starts, it doesn't even compare to "What's Up Doc".

    Streisand is all that is cruel and evil in this world. Her music is awful. Her movies are worse. She loves the sound of orgasms. Can you say weird? I can't without saying Striesand. I have smelt farts taht entertained me more than BABS ever will. Rosie O'Donnel's ever grow...( read more)ing love for her sickens me. Vote libertarian.
