Barbra Streisand has a knack for comedy. Especially when poking fun at herself. She directed and starred in this uneven comedy about a frumpy, middle-aged woman who "settles" for a relationship with a hunky guy...only...no sex is involved. Jeff Bridges plays... Full review

But the film only pretends to be about their relationship.....That said, it bears noting that Jeff Bridges gives a very appealing performance....we are meant to spend the entire movie chuckling at the irony of people mistaking Barbra Streisand for a loser.....Although they can't save the movie, these talented actors breath a lot of life into it.....But a funny first act can't save the film from a series of foolish plot turns..... ...

The Mirror Has Two Faces is an almost brilliant look at romance and love.....In one scene Greg merely sees an attractive girl....The most fascinating aspect of this movie is when the two date....Lauren Bacall does a great job here but her role really should have been nothing more than a few scenes for laughs..... ...
