Jennifer Hudson is outstanding

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2006)

The movie is excellent. I saw the first one when I was younger and hated all the singing. Now that I am older and wiser I realize what an excellent script it is. I believe Beyonce's name is used to get the younger generation into the seats. Her role is so trivial that she should have her name removed from the marque and Ms Husdon's name should be in lights. She did an outstanding job and if not given an Oscar or some other award Hollywood is sincerely corrupt. I honestly forgot it was a movie and not the Broadway play. If the curtains had closed from time to time it would have been just like the Broadway play. Eddie Murphy does a nice job as well. He stays true to character. Jamie Fox portrays his character well indeed. However; Jennifer Hudson is definitely the star of the show.
