Dreamgirls

Every one of the stars I have rated goes to Jennifer Hudson. Without her being in the movie, her fantastic voice and sassy character, I wouldn't have enjoyed the movie. She totally overshadowed Beyonce both with her singing ability and character. She is a real talent and moved me to tears twice. The talky-singing stuff was quite cringe worthy and in my opinion did not do the movie any favours. Beyonce of course looked stunning on occasions but not so much on others, less is more when it comes to make up she looks far more like a movie star when she is a little under-done.

On the whole, a good movie, but only due to Jennifer's four big performances!

[Highly rated reviewer]

Like watching a good stage performance, but on screen...

I am not the biggest fan of musicals, but the performances, the music, the cast, all rolled togather made this a toe tappingly excellent film, definately has the feel of watching a class theatrical performace from everyone involved, rather than a movie, most of this will leave you with ankle cramp just from jiggling your feet along to the music. Definately worth a watch.
