    Jennifer Hudson Tears it Up

    Not a great film, but a good one . . . most notably for the performances of Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy.

    Excellent

    I loved this movie. This movie was so good and started and ended with excitment. The story line was great and kept me interested throughout the movie. All of the actors were great, but Jennifer Hudson stole the show. I love the music. My favorites were Eddie Murphy-I love you Baby, Beyonce-Listen, and Jennifer Hudson-I Love you I do and I am telling you.

    WOW!

    Okay, so I thought the reviews had over-hyped it, and I was prepared to be disappointed. I was NOT! People (including me) really did clap and cheer during the movie and at the end, and I haven't cried in a movie like that since The Joy Luck Club. It's incredible! Take your teens to see it!! And dig the soundtrack!

    This movie was tastefully done. I completely enjoyed from beginning to end. The singing was incredible. I felt that every aspect of this movie was well done on.

    I cried! I laughed!

    Jennifer Hudson was beyond excellent. She blew Beyonce' out in this one. Too much singing the conversations instead of talking. Overall, great job.

    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 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.

    One of the Best Movies I Have Ever Seen!

    I went and saw Dreamgirls and I just loved it! Dreamgirls is about a group of singers called the Dreamettes, whose names are Deena, Lorrell and Effie (the lead). Their group is going nowhere until they become backup singers for James 'Thunder' Early. After going on tour for some time, the Dreamettes start their own act, helped by Curtis, (Early's manager). Unfortunately, the Dreamettes (now called the Dreams) have Deena as lead singer because Curtis thinks her voice will sell better. This leads to a splitting of the group, and horrible consequences. I loved this movie! Jennifer Hudson as Effie and Beyonce Knowles as Deena create some great music that will have you bouncing in you seat! There is some shooting in this movie, and some swearing, and some use of drugs, so you may not want kids under 9 to see it.

    Dreamgirls is an amazing, extremely entertaining musical, and one of the year's best films that I've seen. Jennifer Hudson is incredible, she deserves an Oscar for her role. Surprisingly, Beyonce Knowles is also phenomenal, I think she deserves an Oscar nomination.
