Two hours and fifteen minutes of Beyonce promotion

Rating: 2/10 (21 December 2006)

I felt like I was one of the lucky ones to get invited to the screening of Dreamgirls because it's due to release over here in the Netherlands on February 22nd, 2007 and I saw it yesterday (December 20th, 2006).
I have to say I'm not much of a musical fan but after I saw the trailer on the Internet a while back the movie actually triggered me to want to see it. As a kid I saw Grease several times, great movie.. but this isn't.
It's two hours and fifteen minutes of Beyonce promotion, who seems to get whiter (make up) by the day. The movie has a very thin storyline which we all saw before in numerous other movies. It's funny to see Eddie Murphy using his well known 'James Brown' SNL imitation voice, and yes the man can sing. But to conclude it was torture, especially Jennifer Hudson's voice.. it's beautiful and all but just TOO MUCH! I left the cinema with ringing ears, I'm serious.
