Dreamgirls

Pros: Music, singing, acting, cast...it hit all the right notes.
Cons: A few of the songs were just 'OK'.

At first glance Dreamgirls did not seem like the kind of movie I would like. This film is a musical, a type of movie I seldom watch. And while the story of a group of black, female singers rise to fame seemed compelling, I didn't expect to be ...

Pros: The music is fantastic
Cons: The storytelling suffers a bit in the second act

Imagine Whitney Houston as Deena Jones. How about Lauryn Hill as Deena with Kelly Price as Effie White? Well, ever since David Geffen bought the rights to the theatrical release of the Broadway play of Dreamgirls, there have been several starts ...

Pros: Jennifer Hudson is absolutely stunning.
Cons: The movie's ending is a little too "Hollywood" for me.

The film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning Broadway play "Dreamgirls" has certainly been a long time coming. For at least two decades, a celluloid version has been promised, with everyone from Whitney Houston to Diana Ross (whose career the play was ...

Pros: Great music, performances, accurate depiction of the clothing and hairstyles worn in that time.
Cons: Jennifer Hudson kicked butt singing!!! Not a con!!! but I have to write one so...

Dream Girls is the coming out party for knockout singer Jennifer Hudson. She was GLORIOUS in her debut film!!! Jaime Foxx, Eddie Murphy, and Beyonce' Knowles gave their as usual fantastic performances! The music was "Off The Hook!!!" I loved it!

Pros: mostly a good movie with great actors
Cons: a bit too much

good movie overall. beyonce knowles, jennifer hudson, and that other girl are all great singer. jamie foxx once again shows his great acting and eddie murphy is good too. its a good musical & you should pick up the soundtrack as well. the only thing i cant stand is that its too much and too glossy. not terribly too much, but it seems like it was overdone a bit. like when you buy a value pack of cheese at a supermarket. that value pack looks good and you know you're going to get a lot, but really you don't use it much and it goes spoiled. this movie has too much "cheese" and goes "spoiled". otherwise good movie but DEF pick up the soundtrack.
