stand up and cheer

Rating: 9/10 (10 March 2007)

I'm 42 years old and have seen a lot of films, both at the cinema and elsewhere. While I will concede that 'Dreamgirls' isn't the most profound movie ever made, it is however THE ONLY FILM I'VE EVER SEEN AT THE CINEMA WHICH ACTUALLY MADE ME WANT TO STAND UP AND CHEER AND APPLAUD AT A GOOD FEW MOMENTS* (naturally, being stereotypically British, I didn't do this ~ there were no more than 8 other people at the screening I attended: I'd probably have been thrown out). Personally I thought Jennifer Hudson stole the whole show and should have won the Oscar for Best Actress, never mind Supporting ~ she was the real meat and bones of the movie. * Even when Eddie Murphy sang ~ and under normal circumstances I cannot stand Eddie Murphy
