It was awful

Rating: 2/10 (7 February 2007)

What is up with you people? I thought it was awful. It was a Broadway Musical trying to fit in a cinema screen, unfortunately , it didn't work quite well, even though i believe it would be amazing to watch it live in theatre, i thought it lost all the magic as a movie. Many performances was quite poor especially those with Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx.. Beyonce does not even do that much singing, it is mainly Jennifer Hudson and yes She does have a powerful voice but songs were poorly dubbed. There is not that much of a Story line either, The film maybe slightly related to Diana Ross and The Supremes but again not accurately. It was more covering of a time when Motown was at the top of its golden years. I thought there were bits that were even cringe worthy like the Jackson 5 lookalikes were hideous. It certainly would not be a miss i you cant go to see it, believe me...Save your self some time..
