When I looked at the genre's I saw "MUSICAL"! Does anybody know if this is really a musical? What songs are in it? THanks!

No, this is not a musical.

And the background tunes are not all by Cole Porter.

Ignore Twitter’s incessant, mindless chatter.

This movie is not a musical...in one scene, Barbra sings about 16 bars of "As Time Goes By" and is heard singing "You're the Top" during the opening and closing credits.

Emphatically NO. Musicals are driven by and feature the music as do my very favorites, "The Music Man" and "My Fair Lady". Having a song or maybe even two does not a musical make.

Only two things are actually knowable:
It is now and you are here. All else is merely a belief.

Are you nuts or something?

A musical?

Where did you get that from?

And other than Striesand singing the couple of songs and a few songs on the radio in the car, there isn't even any score for the movie.
