Excellent movie

Rating: 9/10 (1 February 2006)

I must admit i was a little hesitant to watch this movie, but it definitely didn't take me long before i was glued. I would have to recommend this movie to everyone no matter your age or interest in the legendary singer. I have been a fan of Jamie Fox for a few years now, and enjoyed his comical films, but Ray is by far his best role yet. In this film Jamie has Ray down to a tee, from his voice to his body expressions. His transformation was pretty impressive to watch and the director did an excellent job on putting this story together. It's amazing to know that Jamie played the piano all by himself throughout the entire movie. I guess it doesn't hurt to have a little skill going into character. This movie would have to go into my all time favorites, and it never surprised me that Jamie won an Oscar for his performance, and the cast was a perfect fit with a lot of experienced actors. If you ever have any spare time or just feel like kicking back to some great music and superb acting then Ray is your best ticket.
