This movie was wonderful entertainment!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2006)

All of the acting and the singing was excellent. Edie Murphy was actually doing his own singing--he was very good. Oprah's choice and American Idol Jennifer Hudson as Effie White was top notch, what a voice! The movie audience clapped for her performance. Definitely a well done, feel good movie. My husband enjoyed it too--a musical at that. Beyonce, although upstaged by Jennifer Hudson was so versatile--she never really looked the same (except beautiful). All the Dreamgirls were great singers. The movie was also true to it's 60's period details with great costumes and sets. I sat next to someone who had seen Dreamgirls on Broadway and he raved about the movie and how it lost nothing in translation to the big screen. This is the best movie to come along in a long time.
