This was a great movie. The singing was spectacular and for once, I agree with the usual critics that Jennifer Hudson should win an Oscar. Talk about a diamond in the rough- minus the rough. I didn't see her on American Idol but I guess, when one door closes another opens. So, good for her.
I never saw the Broadway version of this story but I image that was great. The songs for this movie, the Broadway ones, were already favorites, but the new songs were equally as good. I'm glad when I watch the Oscars this year, that some of the songs will actually be good and not bizarre like they've been other years.
Eddie Murphy and Jamie Fox were very believable in this movie and likeable as flawed men in the music biz.
Hudson's character is clearly the leader and song master of the group of 3 girls who encompass Dream Girls. But because of her strong personality and challenging ways, Hudson gets outted and replaced by a "yes" woman. The new Dream Girls make hits for a few decades and with their fame there are many losses.
Get ready to cry and cheer. This is finally a Hollywood blockbuster that is worth the movie budget.
Worth the money: $$$$
