It was OK

Rating: 4/10 (29 January 2007)

I was interested in seeing Jennifer Hudson, who is from Chicago, and thought the story line would be interesting, but in truth, I was kind of bored. The songs weren't very good, (I can't even remember them - they were all sort of the same) and then the characters kept singing even when they should have been talking. I wished they would stop singing and get on with it. If I want to hear an entire story in song, I go to the opera - which, ironically, is what I had originally planned to see the night I saw this movie! I was impressed with Jennifer Hudson's talent, but otherwise I found myself squirming in my seat and looking at my watch.
