Highly entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2006)

I really enjoyed this film. Strong performances are given by all. Everyone is so committed to their roles. They pour their hearts and souls into it and it shows. Jennifer Hudson will become the star that I always thought she should be since her "American Idol" days. A voice not to be missed. Only she could have done justice to the great Jennifer Holliday. People will now have a chance to see what a mistake it was to vote her off the "Idol." But, perhaps if she had won, we wouldn't be seeing her in this film right now. It worked out for everyone. Beyonce has her own "wow" moments as well, especially "Listen." Give yourself a treat and see this film. It's highly entertaining. A wonderful addition to the musical genre.
