Went to see Dreamgirls movie the other night, and loved it!
Great musical, based on the successful play of the same name, and of course, based on the story of the Supremes (with Diana Ross, and featuring Motown head honcho - Berry Gordy).
Jennifer Hudson sang a couple of spine-tingling, standing-ovation-worthy, show-stopping songs. Eddie Murphy was absolutely excellent playing a combination James Brown/Marvin Gaye character, and Jamie Foxx was really quite good as the slightly oily, very ambitious and successful Berry Gordy character.
Beyonce was just fine as the Diana Ross character (and she's exceptionally beautiful), but was overshadowed in the singing (and acting) department by Jennifer Hudson.
First star= Jennifer Hudson
Second star= Eddie Murphy
Third star= the music/atmosphere
Fourth star= Jamie Foxx
Most beautiful person= Beyonce
Very enjoyable movie, specially for fans of Motown music in general and for those of us who remember when Diana Ross was still good (and still kinda-hot).
