Much, much better than I expected!

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2007)

Dreamgirls was very much anticipated and also very advertised, I would say even too advertised in order to have a big splash when it came out in cinemas. To be frank, I didn't expect very much from this musical, not too much from the acting part anyway. All this contributed to my not so insignificant surprise, to see a moving, well acted and entertaining movie. I have to admit I've been somewhat surprised to find out that Dreamgirls is one of the Oscars candidates, and that was one of the reasons that led to my paying to see a movie I wouldn't otherwise. Jennifer Hudson is BIG in this movie and I look forward to hear her again if not see her in as many productions as possible. Her presence on the screen is magnetic. Oscar performance! So, my advice for those who haven't seen this movie, go see it as soon as you can; you'll have good music, good acting, great cast and eye-candy!Worthwhile!
