Dreamgirls... A nightmare to watch.

Rating: 1/10 (1 March 2007)

It's one thing to know how to sing, but in the movies, you NEED to know how to act too. It's incredible that newcomer Jennifer Hudson won all the major acting awards over the other nominees such as the women from Babel. And bad acting wasn't the only problem of the movie - an overlong, poorly written script was another, as well as the sad transitions into a musical that made the film seem like a boring two hour music video. The only one who seemed to know what he was doing in the movie was Danny Glover, and maybe Eddie Murphy in an underacted portrayal of an aging has-been, who was all right but nowhere near exceptional. In a perfect world, Dreamgirls would go down in history as being on the same level as Glitter and Crossroads.
