Dreams Come True - But at a cost!

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2006)

Passion, Destiny, Circumstance and Reality all come together when you watch three girls (Deena Jones, Effie White, and Lorrell Robinson) try their passions in possessing their dreams in music. It shows an honest contrast of the pains of striving and also the joys of being able to possess your passion! I became very much attached to the charter Effie White (Jennifer Hudson). I must say that to me, this was her movie indeed. I was a bit disappointed that I didn't see more from Deena Jones (Beyonce Knowles) in this film. It appeared to be a story centered around Effie which displayed all the joy, pain and having to be humble to hold on to that dream. It gave that very in your face reality that we all face in one form or another in life. It was very encouraging to know that you can make your dream but holding on to it is something altogether different. I'm sure that Diana Ross would be pleased with this film, as Beyonce portrayed her in a good light. So in the end, there is always a cost for something, the cost for a good lunch, the cost for an expensive dinner, and ultimately the cost for a dream. This movie is a definite "Must Go". Take your mom, your aunt, your sister or even a friend there is something for everyone!
