Superb Movie Experience

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2006)

A wonderful movie. Saw it in Houston and our audience, too, clapped during Hudson's "I'm Not Going". That was unexpected and the first time I have ever experienced that in a movie. I, too, got chill bumps during this song. I'm not sure Jennifer Hudon deserves an Oscar for acting, but certainly for best song in a musical. The costumes were also great and the staging was fantastic. Makes me wonder if there are any places (other than Broadway) that actually do that kind of stuff.
Eddie Murphy was also great and I am glad to see he finally made another decent move. In fact all the cast were excellent. It makes musicals like the Producer's seem amateurish in comparison. Money certainly well spent. I will definitely see this move again.
