When Cornelius and Barnaby are dancing in the film around the time of "It Only Takes A Moment" and Barbra sits down on a park bench, I fell like yelling out "Get off your butt and dance too -- they're all about your age!"

She is WAY too young, and seems it, but I've always cut Streisand a good amount of slack when it comes to her performance in this film. She seems so at ease, so relaxed and unforced. And she makes more out of those songs than anyone else has ever come close to doing.

The movie is a bore, but it's not because of her.

I disagree. I think the movie is wonderful, and in part because of her. I know she is way too young in theory but in practice she is still great in it.
