Eddie Murphy was excellent in this very over the top movie. The singing seemed way to staged and campy to be taken seriously. People in the theatre actually started laughing during the movie when the actors would start singing. Jennifer Hudson is way overrated in this film and does not deserve all the praise she is getting, let alone a Golden Globe nomination. She is a good singer, don`t get me wrong, but a lot of her songs seems like she just won`t stop yelling. The movie was watchable for Eddie Murphy but don`t expect anything as good as Chicago.
I`ve waited twenty-five years to see this movie, and the wait was worth it! Jennifer Hudson was born to play the part of Effie White, and if there is any justice in Hollywood, she will win the Oscar. Fantastic!
It was nice to see film without the unnecessary sex deliver good quality. Jennifer Hudson is a star!!!!!!!!
Everyone did great. Jennifer Hudson is going to be a STAR!!!!!
Strong Film. Definitely a Oscar Contender. However kinda feels like a lot of prolonged music videos sewn together.
Average movie. The storyline and the singing are a little cheesy at times. Hudson gives an extraordinary performance - maybe the best this year. Beyonce hardly does anything - Fox and Murphy give okay performances - far from great. Overall, this movie may be a better rental.
It was the best movie I watched in 2006 and I am not a fan of musical. The performances are great and certainly, Jennifer Hudson is a diva. The story goes much deeper than a musical movie. It has a wonderful social and political message.
Great movie. It`s rare to hear applause in the middle of a film! Jennifer Hudson is a revalation, absolutely outstanding. Even Beyonce does really well. The performances were flawless! Just loved it.
This movie was AMAZING!, Jennifer Hudson was amazing not only was her voice mesmerizing her acting was completely believable. I felt eveyone else fell short in comparison to Jennifer. So it`s clear who the dreamgirl really is!!!
An okay film. Needed greater character development though.
