What Parents Need to Know
About Dreamgirls
Parents need to know that tweens and teens who like musicals, American Idol, and Beyoncé will be eager to see this much-hyped Broadway adaptation. Several scenes of drug abuse are used to symbolically link excessiveness, addiction, and depression in "show business." Images include snorting lines of cocaine and smoking marijuana. Characters also drink heavily (often to drunkenness and sometimes hidden from others), smoke cigarettes, argue loudly, and engage in a fight or two. Some relatively mild -- but quite colorful -- language (mostly, several uses of "s--t" and "hell").

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE FILM IS EDDIE MURPHY. HE IS THE INSIGHT AND HAPPY SIDE OF THE FILM AND THE REST IS A LITTLE DARKER. PERFECT FOR TEENS ON.

Very Soulful. Amazing Cast. Some Language.
Dreamgirls was an amazing movie, Beyonce Knowels and Jennifer Hudson gave it an amazing soulful feel to it. The language was somewhat bad, but, it was made back when people talked that way. I cliked the language box because, just tell ur child that that language is not appropriate to use in your household, and then be done with it.

Itz OK!
I saw dreamgirls when I was in 4th grade; I loved it; The language was really the biggest issue; but you hear that everyday, so it really isnt an issue; there is no rlly graphic stuff~ and the death of overdose teaches a lesson; ages 10 and up is more then fine

Great movie!
This movie is a very good musical there is some language but not so much violance. Good for musical lovers i'd say ok for 10+

great musical
This was a great movie for everybody. It had great music but also good acting. The outfits and on stage preformances were really fun. But it wasn't all just fun songs and outfits. Some of the stuff was pretty deep, like when Jennifer Hudson's charecter was kicked out for not having the right look. She did a really good job. It's pretty appropriate. It could have been rated PG if they cut out a couple parts like the drug use. There's also mild sexual reference but it's not that bad.

Really Heart Touching
This was a amazing movie it had so many emotions, it made me laugh and cry. It was filled with so many talented people like Beyonce and Eddie Murphy. It was not the best musical but a very good film.

Good, just not the best musical
All you need to see is the oscar nominations to see that this is a good movie. All the actors are amazing singers. Kids will like this because the music is a lot of fun. However, towards the middle, it gets into the cliched "everyone's mad but lets hug and make up" part, but is quickly redeemed by Jennifer Hudson's powerful "I am Telling You I'm Not Going." It is fun and okay for 12+, just because of some language and drug use. However, there are musicals out there that are better by far, like "Chicago" and "Rent" for the older kids, or "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Music Man" for younger ones.
