Very Good Movie...but worth the hype?

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2006)

Dreamgirls is a good movie that is definitely worth the price of admission. Let me start by getting that point across. But does it hold up against the hype that is surrounding it? I had the chance to see this film last night. It was definitely an experience. Now this is not a review of the film but merely a statement of fact. Jennifer Hudson is amazing. She is an amazing singer but when she's not singing and just acting, she's better than average. She is definitely worthy of all the acclaim that will come to her, but an Oscar? When there were much better acting performances this year? Meryl Streep in Devil Wears Prada or Toni Collette for Little Miss Sunshine were amazing acting performances. Hudson will receive a worthy nomination, but there were just better performances this year.
