A good musical ...

Rating: Null/10 (31 December 2007)

This was a reasonably good movie, but it's probably much better live on stage. The music, story and characters were kind of interesting, but for me, not significantly so.
Basically, this story of a fictional R&B girl group of the 1960s. We see their start and progression in the music industry over time. There are clear allusions to actual groups (most notably the Supremes) and the evolution of the music industry.
The movie was interesting, but I'm not sure what I got out of it. There was nothing really new and the story was sometimes confusing; it jumps forward in time without any warning, and you just have to figure that out each time.
Even though I think the movie was only marginally good, it clearly appealed to many other people. My recommendation is to watch the trailer and if it looks worthwhile - you'll probably like it.
