It was Okay, i expected it to be a *bit* more entertaining, but it was OK

Rating: 3/10 (26 December 2006)

MAJOR LEAGUE SPOILERS AHEAD* Ya know what, I know I wrote that is was great, but I'm gonna edit myself because to be honest I only wrote that because I didn't want people thinking I was small-brained for not liking this movie especially since so many people praised it. Yes it's faced-paced, but faced-paced does not = entertaining, especially in this case. I mean, I guess my standards were too high. I was thinking Chicago musicals are always so great, like Grease, Chicago (which I hated in the beginning but grew to like) but Dreamgirls didn't do it for me. I felt really uncomfortable for some reason of the leers Jamie Foxx kept giving Jennfier Hudson whenever she threw a tantrum. I just couldn't even look at the screen cuz because of his stares. That dosen't make for good viewing. And Jennifer Hudson was not convincing enough for me and didn't deserve her Oscar, In my view. Yes I know it's her first time acting, (which should be even more of a reason) She was so...I don't know carboardy at times actually most of the time. When she said she couldn't' believe she's still getting awards at the BET awards, neither could I. She spoke more truthfully than she realized. I still maintain that Beyonce did better...but by Beyonce standards only. And the musicals were too broadwayish and an unmemorable. With the exception of "One Night Only" and the song Eddie Murphy sings. I love 60s music (although I don't think I should being my age) but these broadwayish songs were so blah & gay. And I didn't really care about the story. Yes it was well plotted, but I just couldn't give that much of a damn, I JUST COULDN'T. When people laughed I didn't laugh. And when people clapped when Hudson sang I got confused.
I just didn't like it. My standards probably may have been too high, but I just didn't. See ya on the flip side! Solid!
