It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

"Funny Face" is pure cotton candy; colorful and sweet, but with such little substance, it disappears almost as quickly as it appears. Nonetheless, who doesn't love cotton candy? Nazis. That's who. It's so delightfully buoyant and colorfully entertaining, I don't even care that they are incessantly trying to convince us that Audrey Hepburn isn't gorgeous.

Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire and Kay Thompson are all fabulous and perfectly cast. Great music with great singing and dancing. Thompson's character sings 'Think Pink' then claims she wouldn't be caught dead in it. Half an hour later in the film, guess what she's wearing? Pink! Great film, watching it now as I write this.

Givenchy , Gershwin, Fred Astaire, Kay Thompson. and especially, Audrey Hepburn. and Paris. the pieces of a charming puzzle, with a drawing story. the first temptation is to criticize it. for reasons who are more than legitime for a XXI century viewer. the second - to enjoy it. because it confirms and gives many surprises. it confirms the unique Audrey Hepburn. giving new nuances in singing , dancing and Givenchy scenes. it surprise for admirable job of Kay Thompson. and confirms the science of Fred Astaire to be a magnificent partner for each actress. it impress for a special flavor about an ideal Paris. and for the smart use of the story about anonymous girl becoming, after an accident, star. short, a lovely classic. for many reasons. in special for the memorable shooting scenes

I'm not sure there were many women who could have pulled off this film in such an amazing fashion (sorry for the pun). This was more a celebration of Audry, then anything else. And she was somehow simple and radiant at the same time. The story is familiar. The simple shop girl is discovered by simple happenstance. At first, she resists. And then she dives in, head first. But there's also the May - December story line between Fred Astaire and Audry. But, just looking at Audry in all the different settings and costumes is worth the price of admission. Of course with Fred Astaire, there are several dance numbers and songs. And they are a cheerful addition. But it all still comes down to Audry. And this is a great film for serious Audry fans. We get to see so many different images of Audry. The first costume we see her in after losing her bookstore duds, combined with her natural beauty. Is jaw-dropping. While watching this film of this amazing woman. It should be remembered that in spite of her natural attributes. She was carrying and unaffected human being. Her work with UNICEF. The work she did for that agency saved many lives. She genuinely cared for the people she was trying to help.
