An Enjoyable Musical Film

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2008)

I am not particularly a fan of this genre of music. However, I didn't have much problem sitting through this film. The story doesn't have anything much but the way it is presented is interesting enough to capture my attention. Jennifer Hudson is particularly good. At first I thought that she must be someone famous but then in the end I found that she's a new actress and I was like "Wow!" That scene when she sings "I Am Telling You" is very heart wrenching. I don't like this type of music but still I find this one very soulful,very expressing. I can feel that she sings what's in her heart.
The rest of the cast did great job, too: Jamie Fox, Eddie Murphy, Beyonce, etc. And I love the song that Beyonce sings in the final part of the film (Listen To My Heart or something like that, sorry I forgot) The sight and sound is gorgeous as it should be.
Although it's not a movie that I would like to keep for future watch,I like it much better than "Hairspray".
