What Parents Need to Know
About Dreamgirls Soundtrack
Parents need to know that the songs on this soundtrack are nestled in the comfort zone for most families, though there are a few questionable words ("bulls--t," "ass," and "bitch") on the blistering song "It's All Over." Something about the presentation gives them theatrical gravitas, so they don't come off sounding like gratuitous language delivered only for shock value.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the dynamics of being in a group. What would it be like to start a singing group with your friends? If one person ended up being the lead singer, how would that make you feel? Parents and grandparents who were fans of the Supremes, the 1960s Motown group on which this story is loosely based, might want to haul out the old records to share with their kids.
