this movie was a good musical

Rating: 3/10 (8 January 2007)

"Then the cast starts singing.
And singing.
To make matters worse the songs are atrocious; one wonders if they are intended as camp or satire. If they be satire they go on far too long, if they are supposed to be the real thing then someone has a warped sense of humor or simply don't care that the audiences has to watch on as the film self destructs in the final act. "
I had to comment on this. This movie is a MUSICAL. You are supposed to have songs throughout the movie. And some of them are supposed to be CAMP and Satire.
Now, not everyone has to like every movie (I loved Dreamgirls, btw.) But I'm someone who onced worked in theatre. Before we had a film industry, we had theatre, and most plays were musicals. The earliest movies, were taken straight out of musical theatre and were all musicals.
The fact that the above poster thinks the movie is bad just because of all the singing shows you the level of education of the poster.
As for Jennifer Hudson getting voted off American Idol, what does that mean? Well, the show has 3 has been celebrity judges who effectively have no career in the music industry, and the members of the public who vote on it are mostly morons who have nothing better to do. Most of the winners of American Idol have not had stellar music careers mind you, and Jennifer Hudson has surpassed all American Idol winners by getting this role.
In other words, some of the kids om IMDb like the above one I'm quoting are used to watching comic book movies.
