Dreamgirls

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2007)

Last night I saw Dreamgirls.What a movie I had chills when Effie sang.The audience broke into applause three times.Jennifer Hudson was absolutely perfect for the role of Effie.I don't watch Idol so I was not familiar with her or her beautiful voice.I don't know how she lost but lack of talent could not have been the reason that's for sure.I can't wait for the Oscar nominations to be announced. This movie has the potential to have the whole cast nominated.Now,Eddie Murphy he almost stole the whole movie.I loved Eddie when he was young and so funny.Beverly Hills Cop,Trading Places,48 Hours.He could do no wrong but I'll give it to him he was very young for so much fame.I loved him on Saturday Night Live hands down he was the funniest guy alive in my eyes.Then came Raw and I was done with Eddie.As a female I was so repulsed by that movie I never paid a penny at the show to ever see him again.It looks like age has brought him around to the talent he was long ago.His part in this movie I think will do for him what From Here to Eternity did for Sinatra.He's back and I feel will win an Oscar for this performance.Beyonce was good too shes got the looks,body and I will say she showed some acting ability.Jaime Foxx is the man as far as I'm concerned I love him.Good guy,bad guy,funny guy,singing guy he has hit his stride.Hell I loved him on In Living Color but never dreamed he had this kind of talent.There was only one part of the movie that I wasn't thrilled with.The few parts they sang the dialog.I'm not big on that format at all.It kind of made the dialog unimportant which was not the case.I loved the movie Jennifer Hudson can act.I think Broadway may end up her home she was terrific.Thank God somebody had the guts to make the movie.I wish I had seen the play on Broadway but I was not that lucky.I really enjoyed the songs and the singing.I wasn't sure who Keith Robinson was but I enjoyed his performance also.I saw Chicago at the movies and I think this blew it away on every level and that was best picture.
