Great Movie With Great Actors, But Many Things Are Based On The Supremes

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2006)

Jennifer Hudson should have been the American Idol! She hit notes that very few professional singers (including Beyonce) can hit. Eddie Murphy sings as well as he did on his song "Party All The Time." Anika Noni Rose is a fly lady, but she cannot sing well. Jaleel White had a walk on role at the beginning of the movie. I wonder how much money Dawn Lewis got paid just for being Eddie Murphy's wife in the movie. She had no speaking lines. Jamie Fox was great in this movie. Much of the plot of this movie is based on the Supremes real life story. Jamie Fox was just like Berry Gordy. Beyonce was just like Diane Ross. Jennifer Hudson's character was definitely like Florence Ballard. And Anika's character was Mary Wilson. And when Sharon Leal's character joined the Dreamgirls, she was Cindy Birdsong. Everyone should have known that Jamie Fox's character was the father of Effie's daughter. Also, they took real Supreme album covers and footage and replaced it with the characters from Dreamgirls. And there was also a Jackson 5 look alike group that was singing the music in the same tempo as the Jackson 5 did in the 70s with a light skinned little boy with an afro portraying the Michael of the group and four tall teenagers playing the Marlon, Jermaine, Tito, and Jackie of the group. There is so much to this movie. Most of these actresses should be nominated for an Oscar.
