passionate and emotional

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2007)

I could not agree with you more about this movie, I cried on several scenes, and held back tears on others. Jennifer Hudson was flawless, Beyonce was ALMOST as good, Eddie Murphy, well, Eddie was Eddie. When you put Eddie in a serious role he usually shines. Eddie Murphy is an extremely underrated actor. This role was tailor made for him. He was robbed of an academy award. I'm extremely upset by this! Jennifer Hudson voice is extremely powerful, Beyonce actually stepped up her game because of this, this is what I like about Beyonce, she's a competitor and a fighter. Although she did a pretty good job, she just doesn't match Jennifer's power. I respect the fact that Beyonce was aware of this and she didn't go beyond her realm, which made the song "Listen" that much greater because she maximized her singing strengths "without over singing". Jamie Foxx and Danny Glover were great in their roles as well. The casting for this movie was excellent.
