Dreamgirls

Dreamgirls was good fun. Not a great movie, not really a great musical, and not a consistent cast, but a lot of fun. It amazes me how many people don't realize it's a musical, though.

Jennifer Hudson lives up the the hype, and she and Eddie Murphy were really the only ones who managed to sing and act at the same time. Murphy's portrayal of a James Brown-like soul singer is really wonderful, and Hudson sings circles around other girls.

Beyonce and Jamie Foxx were both pretty flat.
