Dreamgirls is fab. A movie with everything from good script, super directing and editing, top music, sweet singing, great sets and fine fine performances. Thoroughly enjoyable for me and I can't see anyone not enjoying it to a fair degree. Eddie Murphy is quite brilliant and Jennifer Hudson's voice...it does get the hairs on your neck to stand up at times. I think we all know the basic storyline by now so won't comment on that except to say that it is a very good example of it's genre. I agree with a previous poster that Chicago was also excellent but Dreamgirls just shades it for me. Agree with GG awards for Sacha Cohen, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Hudson....a good year for her then... and of course Martin Scorcese. He is The Man. Hope The Departed gets the best movie at the Oscars. I have Dreamgirls on DVD as well as Flags of our Fathers, The Departed, Babel, The Queen, Borat, Casino Royale, Apocalypto, Blood Diamond, The Last King of Scotland, Night at the Museum...(not had time to see the last two yet)....oh the list goes on. All good quality and less than a $1 each. I do love China.
