I went with the wife to see the remake today, and it was done very well. Bradley Cooper started and directed the lead role, and took 18 months of guitar lessons to prepare himself, since he had no musical background. He was very impressive musically, and in tha acting role. I never have listened to Lady Gaga much, I only heard her in the background, and only knew who it was when it was pointed out to me... she did a tremendous job.
It will really surprise me if they don’t pull down some major awards for the efforts.
I would have never recognized Andrew Dice Clay in a million years in the role he played.

I don't care much for the usual run of the mill girl singers,but I like Lady Gaga.

I might have to watch this now, just to see him.

I always question the validity of remakes: was it better than the original, no matter how good it was?
Not casting stones, just genuinely curious.
Sometimes remakes work: Star Wars. But imagine something like White Christmas or Aliens (don't I have range?).

I never saw the Judy Garland version, never saw the second, better than Kristofferson/ Streisand.
Just my opinion though.
