Entertaining

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2007)

This film is about several talented black singers trying to make it famous with the help of a record company boss in Detroit.
The most striking feature of this film is that it features so many songs sung powerfully. The songs are memorable and phenomenal. I really liked the acting as well. The scene where Jennifer Hudson has a final argument with Jamie Foxx on New Year's eve is particularly moving. The emotions and tensions flow from the actors and actresses so well that anyone can connect to how they feel. I also liked the idea that story scenes get incorporated within the songs, so that we get to hear the whole song but and yet we also see how the story unfolds.
