Not worth it

Rating: 2/10 (31 December 2006)

The movie was over-hyped and severely overrated by the critics. Their are other movie-musicals that have done this 100X better. The only person that did a good job and made the film enjoyable was Jennifer Hudson. Jaime Foxx comes off just as arrogant in the movies as he is in real life, and Eddie Murphy just goes to over the top with his performance. And Beyonce is by far the weakest part of this cast. Her acting inexperience really shows, and all the parts that she tried to act serious, were just terrible. The only other thing thats good in this movie besides Jennifer Hudson is maybe the Music and even those are only second rate songs compared to actual Supreme and James Brown songs. Do yourself a favor and do not get tricked into seeing this movie like, wait until it comes out on DVD and rent it. This movie is not going to be remembered as a classic, its gonna be remembered as another "How Green Was My Valley", because their are just so many other good movies out this year. To see how a good movie-musical is done, watch Chicago or Cabaret.
