Dreamgirls
Dreamgirls is a musical drama based on the Broadway musical by the same name. The movie takes place in Detroit in the 1960s where a car salesman played by Jamie Foxx tries to break into the music business by establishing his own record label. He signs an R&B performer played by Eddie Murphy and a trio of girls as his backup singers played by Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson and Anika Noni Rose. I must say that Jennifer Hudson stole the show and I was most interested in what was going on with her character than any other in the film. My only real complaint with the movie was its length. It runs for over two hours.
About 77% of critics on RottenTomatoes recommended Dreamgirls and I would give it a score of 8.
