The Way We Were Movie Review

Robert Redford and Barbra Streisand star in a multi-year romantic drama that comes off as about as believable as a love affair between myself and a potted plant. Widely loathed for its sacharrine approach (and Streisand's acting), the shrill Ms. Babs is so unsympathetic as the local communist sympathiser that you can't help but be aghast in wonder over why Redford's character would possibly see anything in her. Of course, this film had a popular song come from it (see if you can guess what it was, Einstein), and a legion of Babs fans believe their goddess can do no wrong, so, for better or worse, The Way We Were is going to be with us as a "classic" romance for some time to come.

Where did this guy come from? Saccharin approach, Streisand's acting? Is he for real? I believe this person was reviewing Miss Streisand's politics and not the movie...because at any given time, that is really the only thing one can fault her on...and not even her choice or party...just her overkill...However, TWWW is a WONDERFUL movie...Streisand received an Academy Award Nomination, her second for Best Actress..and the movie was nominated for 6 total...It is a romantic drama at its best is regularly on "BEST" lists at Valentine's Day...and on "Best" romance lists...it may not be one's taste in type of movie...but his period piece is a MUST SEE
