Good music, that`s all.
I did not enjoy that movie, way too long.
I can`t believe this movie only has 3.7 stars!! I loved it - Beyonce was great but Jennifer Hudson was fabulous!! The only thing I didn`t care for was the singing of talking parts (in a few places) but again the singing was really good in those parts too. Very much for those who enjoy musicals
Foxx and Murphy are great, but it`s Beyonce who walks off with the picture.
ZOWIE!
Far and away the best movie since FAR AND AWAY.
SPECTACULAR! Beyonce gives the knockout performance of the year!
"Dreamgirls" is the greatest motion picture musical since "Glitter!" Beyonce is electric!!!!!
With DREAMGIRLS, Beyonce proves "Nobody Does It Better!"
Ouch. Really should have left the cringe-inducing, cheesy parts on the cutting room floor. It just "whoosh", takes you out of the pace of the movie when they start to do the singing-talking bits, like that awful part about family. The rest of the movie would have been way better without those bits. That type of musical has really had it`s day, and even though it is set in the 60`s/70`s, sensibilites have changed since then. A treat for the eye, and some wonderful performances. Eddie Murphy proves he doesn`t have to dress in a fat woman or man`s costume to be funny. Go see it, you have been warned!
Beyonce is superb and owns this movie from start to finish! Not since Diana Ross soared in LADY SINGS THE BLUES has a pop diva so owned the motion picture screen! Four stars, baby!
This movie was AMAZING! I enjoyed every second. If you haven`t seen it go and see it. Jennifer Hudson will blow you away! A warning, if you don`t like musicals or soul then honestly this movie probably won`t be for you. since I like them both I loved it.
loved it
I`d say it was just a little above average... The acting and singing was good, but I thought the plot got a little bit draggy near the middle... some parts were a bit unnecessary. The music was really catchy though. =) Overall, not bad, but I`d advise you to see this in theatres only if you`re a hardcore musical fan. Otherwise, rent it so you can fast forward through some of the more trivial parts.
It was a long movie but it was amazing. It was worth every second of every minute! I loved it I reccommend it to all ages except for little kids they wouldn`t understand it. But teens and all adults will. Its just an all around feel good movie.
I loved it. Music was exceptinal. Singing superb!
I LOVED IT!!! People who didn`t like it just don`t like musicals!
Music great, movie too long.
I loved it - laughed, cried, the singing was sensational, the actors had me there with them. Brenda - Barrie, Ontario

awesome movie, great music, a "must see movie"
one of the greatest musicals that i`ve ever seen! jennifer hudson has ONE POWERFUL VOICE! her singing sent shivers down my spine! amazing movie!
Fantastic. Jennifer hudson deserves the OSCAR. Without a doubt the best movie of the year. It was such a joy to watch
This movie was amazing.... and Jennifer Hudson blew me as well as everyone else in the theatre away... She has a powerful voice. I truly wasn`t expecting to like her as much as i did. Everyone should definetly take the time to see this one, while it is still in theatres.
For all the people complaining that there was too much singing, or they broke into song too often, please, shutup. This is a musical. I don`t know what you were expecting, but thats what they do in musicals. They sing, not only songs but dialogue too. So maybe next time don`t go see a musical if you hate it that much. Now, for my review. This movie was amazing. It was so glamourous, with the makeup and costumes but behind all of that was a great story and some amazing talent. Everyone is saying this, but it has to be repeated--Jennifer Hudson was amazing. She stole the show. I saw her on American Idol, and never knew she would be capable of
bURN BABBY BURN THIS MOVIE IS HOT
JENNIFER HUDSON I LOVE YOU!! UR SO AMAZING!!!, THIS MOVIE WAS THE BOMB!! IF U HAVENT SEEN THIS ITS A MUST SEE!! n U SHOULD GO OUT N WATCH IT NOW!! CAUSE U DUNNO WUTCHUR MISSIN =) =)
I normally enjoy musicals, but the songs in this one were far too long and came far too often. This slowed the plot to a crawl. And just as soon as some interesting dialouge got going, somebody would break into song and slow the plot down, yet again. A lot of the scences seemed totally unnecessary. If the movie was tightened up, it would have been far more enjoyable. Near the end I was actually hoping nobody else would break into song as I`d had enough. Jennifer H. was good, but her cathartic song mid-movie was waaaaaaaaay tooooooo looooooong. Postives were the costumes, wigs and makeup...very cool.
Well with so much hype, its easy for a movie to fail your expectation.... BUT THIS ONE DID NOT!! now I have probably seen every movie musical ever produced, and this one is at the top of my list. It is even better the second time, and cannot wait for the third and fouth times I see it! Jennifer Hudson, not enough can be sai about you....AMAZING!! everyone else was amazing as well, not one member brought the cast down.... WAY TO GO!!!!
WOULD RATE IT HALF A STAR BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT`S NOT AN OPTION
Beyonce is so fabulous!!! Well packaged!! Jennifer Hudson has a lot of potential to be a star but she needs a makeover!Maybe that`s the reason why she did not get the title of "American Idol"! She needs a very good agent and a stylist and she will be a "STAR"!!!!
I just finished watching the movie and I was blown away. The entire cast did a superb job but there was one that clearly shined above all the rest: Jennifer Hudson. I loved her as a contestant on American Idol, but would never imagined that she could accomplish what she did in this role. I see many acclaims continuing to come her way including an Oscar. There aren`t many performances that will evoke applause twice from an audience watching a movie but Jennifer`s was certainly one.
Jennifer Hudson is an unbelievable talent and should be an Oscar contender. Her voice is so powerful she has a HUGE career ahead! Excellent movie!
So amazing! I was blown away! Everyone was soo amazing especially Jennifer Hudson; she sent chills down my spine. Defintely going get some Golden Globes AND Oscars. It was incredible! 5/5
I would of been really good if it weren`t for the one chick who basically screamed her lungs out for the entire movie. Everyone else was great, I enjoyed it, but by the end, I couldn`t stand the one girl. Everyone in the theatre cringed when she opened her mouth. Kinda wrecked the movie in a huge way.
Jennifer Hudson definitely stole the show ... Beyonce who?
great movie best I have seen this year
