Dreamgirls

rating: BRAVO (rating system)

Now you may have heard the hype on this flick. But I am here as your faithful yet random movie critic to certify this movie as a MUST SEE. Don't wait for the DVD or cable release for this one. This all star cast does an amazing job. You get the broadway musical feel along with acting that dare I say is shockingly impressive. Of course I expected good acting and even singing from Jaime Fox and Eddie Murphy (who can forget that 80s hit 'my girl likes to party all the time'?). Beyonce's acting was surprisingly convincing, quite an improvement from the Pink Pather. But that Jennifer Hudson is THE SHOW STOPPER. She was no less than totally amazing. There is this one scene where she belts out a song that will make you tear up if not weep outright. I love a good Cinderella story. This movie is a Cinderella story within itself. You can't help but watch the movie and cheer for Jennifer the whole time thinking silently to yourself, "that's right Jennifer... show Simon Cowell he was wrong wrong wrong about you... you are a STAR! sing it girl". Seriously random fans, listen to me now and thank me later... go see this movie!!!
