| Product DescriptionDirector Bill Condon brings Tom Eyen's Tony award-winning Broadway musical to the big screen in a tale of dreams, stardom, and the high cost of success in the cutthroat recording industry. The time is the 1960s, and singers Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose), and Deena (Beyoncé Knowles) are about to find out just what it's like to have their wildest dreams come true. Discovered at a local talent show by ambitious manager Curtis Taylor Jr. (Jamie Foxx), the trio known as "the Dreamettes" is soon offered the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of opening for popular singer James "Thunder" Early (Eddie Murphy). Subsequently molded into an unstoppable hit machine by Taylor and propelled into the spotlight as "the Dreams," the girls quickly find their bid for the big time taking priority over personal friendship as Taylor edges out the ultra-talented Effie so that the more beautiful Deena can become the face of the group. Now, as the crossover act continues to dominate the airwaves, the small-town girls with big-city dreams slowly begin to realize that the true cost of fame may be higher than any of them ever anticipated. - Actors: Jamie Foxx, Beyoncé Knowles, Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Hudson

Too Much Singing !
Knowing it was a musical I was prepared for a fair portion of singing but had not expected a movie hardly with any spoken lines! There must have been about 1 full hour of song and to make matters worse most of the material ranged from forgettable to outright unmelodious or awkward. The cast certainly proved they could sing but with hardly a spoken line and without a decent storyline it made for very long and dull viewing. | | Reviewed on 2008-06-29
I couldn't "dream" of a better movie!!!
This movie is so good. It depicts the story of an African American singing group through their journey of fame and fortune in the '60s and '70s. I love this movie. The acting and singing is great. This is by far my favorite musical. The songs are so well written and beautifully song. | | Reviewed on 2008-06-21
You've got to be kidding me...
One of the more difficult to get through movies you'll experience in a long time. Do not be fooled by the "Best Picture" award. Most musicals feel a need to advance some hint of a plot either with - or between - the songs. Not this film. It simply enjoys its own awful songs too much to let the audience in on any sense of what is going on.
And did they give Jennifer Hudson the Best Stereotype Award? In a one-dimensional role requiring exactly no range from an actress, she hit all the right notes. They give ACTING awards for being yourself in front of a camera now?
Might be the worst "Best Picture" ever. | | Reviewed on 2008-06-18
