I thought Dreamgirls was a good movie. I enjoy the Rise-From-The-Bottom stories of conquering the world- or in this case Hollywood. The talented cast fit their roles (Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx, Eddie Murphy, BeyoncĂ© Knowles). The music was tactful and in character with the film. I enjoyed the stage performances in the movie. Although the emotional breakdown of Effie (played VERY well by Jennifer Hudson) was a little long and dramatic, she was my favorite. The story itself is a bit dramatic and predictable, but that's Hollywood. I agree with it's several nominations and awards: 2007 Academy Award®: Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson; 2007 Academy Award®: Best Supporting Actor nominee: Eddie Murphy; 2007 BAFTA®: Best Supporting Actress: Jennifer Hudson
In closing, I recommend it for those of you that enjoy musicals, and don't mind a long movie.
