The legendary Broadway musical hit the screen, resurrecting the thrill of the original. That, in itself, is a miracle. I suspect that the miracle worker is Bill Condon. The story is told as if it revealed something we've never seen before and his winning innocence triumphs. The casting of Eddie Murphy was a stroke of genius. He unfolds a new inedited face and I predict a new career. The predictability of the tale becomes rewarding rather than annoying and I was surprised and moved all the way through. Jammie Foxx's unsympathetic turn manages to deliver a punch of humanity. Byonce Knowles, Danny Glover and the rest of the cast are a perfect foil for Jennifer Hudson's Cinderella Story. Bravo Mr Condon!

Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson MADE Dreamgirls. Everyone else was secondary. I watch Dreamgirls every couple of years and it's just as enjoyable as when I saw it when it first came out. I don't think some of the reviewers understand what a musical is, smh. Yes, folks sing at random times.The storyline was choppy and they crammed a hell of a lot into the 130 minutes but I don't care. I will forever stan Dreamgirls just for the "Steppin to the bad side" and "Jimmy got soul" portions alone. I mean, come on!! And don't get me started on Jennifer's breakout songs. Whew!!!!! That girl is good!

The movie was excellent. I saw it last night and Jennifer Hudson got plenty of cheers and claps all through out the movie. The whole first half of the movie you forget that Beyonce is even in it. Don't get me wrong she does a great job too. Eddie Murphy was also very spectacular. It was good to see him in a film of this caliber again. There are great songs and the movie is aesthetically beautiful to the eyes. There are a number of great actors and actresses in the movie as well and I hope after their performance in Dreamgirls they get more work in the industry. Jennifer Hudson really shines in this movie, she definitely deserves to win any and all awards she is nominated for. PLEASE GO SEE THIS MOVIE!
