Exceptional!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2006)

One of the best movies of 2006. Jennifer Hudson was a powerful additional to the movie that is a credit to the Broadway play. Jennifer Holiday should be proud of the performance by Jennifer Hudson, especially during the singing of "And I Am Telling You". I'm sure everyone was waiting to see if Jennifer could pull off the emotion of the song the way Jennifer Holiday was able to do. All actors and actresses in the movie deserve an applause for their performances. The story was moving and told the story of the hardship African American endured in the 60's trying to breakout in the music industry. Though it showed the backstabbing, the movie also showed that individuals do have a heart. It will be interesting to see how the movie fares at the Oscars.
A definite "to see" movie.
