phenomenal acting, bad movie

Rating: 4/10 (20 January 2007)

i went in to this movie, i am sorry to say, with a closed mind. i figured it would be lame and boring and horrible all around, a complete waste of my time. i was proved wrong and right.
first, the acting was Phenomenal. especially Jennifer Hudson, who had never acted or practiced very much before. Jamie foxx was also wonderful. The scripting was very good. there was no lame dialogue or cheesy or corny parts in the movie.
but i thought it didn't accomplish what is was intended to do. it was supposed to show how harsh the music business is and how hard it is to become famous and get on the pop charts. The girls get on the pop charts very easily and it doesn't really show how harsh the music industry is. also, it was supposed to show the start of Motown. it didn't have anything to do with Motown except for one two minute scene with a song of the Jackson brothers. and last, they ruined the musical part of it. considering this was originally a Broadway musical, it should of had more scenes were instead of talking they sang. but the only parts like that were when they were performing, or fighting with each other.
personally i think you should go see this movie just to see the phenomenal new actor Jennifer Hudson, and listen to the singing (even though it is not my kind of music, it was great singing). so, enjoy
