Excellent film

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2007)

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The singing was spectacular. Even Beyonce, who I don't normally care for, was good. Jennifer Hudson - I can't say enough about her. Her singing was superb and her acting was pretty good. I am looking forward to seeing more of her!!! There aren't many movies that I would pay to go see again in the theater, but this is one. I will definitely add it to my collection when it is released on DVD.
It's interesting that this movie still reflects a lot of what goes on today with looks versus actual singing talent or with just doing what sells as opposed to producing really good music. This movie also highlighted how songs were stolen from Black artists and reproduced by other artists while not giving any credit or money to the original artists who wrote and recorded the songs.
