Pros The classic songs, nice dance sequences, Paris, and Kay Thompson.
Cons No chemistry between Hepburn and Astaire, bad character development, and empty script.
Bottom Line Watch for the songs and dance and the nice view of Paris but roll your eyes at Hepburn and Astaire's unbelievable romance.
 
Pros Dancing and singing incorporated into the movie instead of just straight acting.
Cons Nothing bad to say.

Pros Fred Astaire. Audrey Hepburn. Kay Thompson. Richard Avedon. Stanley Donen. George Gershwin. Givenchy.
Cons Formulaic and dated, but still a heck of a lot of fun.
Bottom Line Stanley Donen's musical combines Gershwin, Astaire, Hepburn and Richard Avedon into a fun and frothy confection.
 
Pros Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire, do you need something else?
Cons Pretty standard plot, I could think of other movies I would recommend more
Bottom Line Funny Face is a fantastic way to spend an afternoon. It's not the most original, but it's much better than a lot of stuff in theaters now.
 
Pros Fred Astaire and Audrey Hepburn, Kay Thompson almost steals the show, though!
Cons None, I love it! LOVE IT!
Bottom Line If you love Gershwin, Astaire, Hepburn and Paris, this is a must see movie. Incredible Givenchy clothing, scenes of Paris -- a trip without the long flight!
