Dreamgirls is a Nightmare

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2007)

Dreamgirls is absolutely Horrible. It's much worse than the worst movie I've seen in a long time...It's the Motown version of "Grease"... Dreamgirls is not only a total waste of talent and hype(save for Eddie Murphy, who was great)..It's also a complete waste of anyone's time and money. I only wish that I could have the hour back that I wasted squirming in my seat. (My girlfriend and I walked out w/ an hour and 10 minutes left in the film) The story line is so utterly boring, a watered down version of Barry Gordy and Diana Ross...the character development is totally weak...Every song sounded incessantly the same...The cheesy musical/west side story-ish outbursts were enough to drive anyone mad. I would say that Dreamgirls is a good example of what's wrong with entertainment today...How pop culture celebrates, elevates, and encourages mediocrity...However, sadly, this movie falls way short of mediocre. It's totally pathetic. If you like Jamie Foxx, then go see the movie "Ray" again. If you Like Eddie Murphy, then re-visit "Trading Places" or "Coming to America". If you like Beyonce, go buy one of her CDs...But whatever you do, Do NOT see Dreamgirls.
