This movie rocks!!!

Rating: 10/10 (8 January 2007)

This was one of the best movies I have seen in a long time! To state that it was musical based on an original play over 20 years ago, says a lot. I heard about this play years ago, but was not too much interested in pursuing to see, but when the movie came out with the main characters of actors I admired,read the comments about it, and also heard it was a good movie, I took a chance and went to go to see it. I am so glad I did! The acting, costumes, stage designs, and the SINGING, was beyond expectation! Ms. Hudson stole the whole show, with her exquisite singing and acting abilities; Mr Murphy surprised me with his acting and singing talents also; Ms Beyonce was very good also; especially with her song "Listen"--I loved it. The other actor who played CC White (Effie's brother) also was good--Mr Foxx's acting/singing was the only sore spot--it was just mediocre. I hope this movie wins all the awards it was nominated--I saw it twice, and will probably see it again, before it goes to rentals.
