Really! Don't you think you're a little TOO OBVIOUS???
I just came home from watching Dreamgirls.
I was enthralled with Jennifer Hudson's performance. As the reviewer stated, she ran away with the show.
The packed house applauded twice after Jennifer's powerful, emotion filled solos and at the end of the film, no one left.
People waited to read the credits, and when it came to
'and introducing .......
Jennifer Hudson'
the place fell apart with cheering, whistling and clapping.
It was nice.
It was nice to see the underdog run away with it ... and Jennifer Hudson sure showed her stuff.
Not so pretty, overweight, and stuffed into skin tight costumes ... Jennifer's personality rose to the top and the not so pretty, overweight, and stuffed into skin tight costumes girl was the hit of the show and had everyone in the audience (even the old guys yanked from in front of the football game) took her into their hearts and cheered her on.
What a feel good film.
I loved it!
Way to go !!!!
i loved hudson in this movie. i agree with the critic that just about any other african-american could have played murphy's part. i'm a huge huge huge foxx fan(big crush on him too...) but it was not his best work.
beyonce was just too blank.it wasn't just the role of the character her- she was just too blank. the movie will do well-it's been promoted to death.and i liked it a lot.especially hudson-what a star!
liked it-but not loved it. not the best of the year.hudson's performance was one of the best of the year though.
The above comments were accurate, however, it is exactly what the audience wanted. We were overwhelmed with the reality that 'American Idol' runner up is much move vibrant and talented than we were previously made to accept by Simon. Yes!,they were a group of young talented people that we too young to handle all that was being thrown at them. Young people do fall in love with out developing a story. (New concept-yeah right ha!) Yes the movie was long, but if they had spent time developing the relationships............I don't know if we would be home yet. I have viewed it three times and each time with a different group of people, none the less the energy was the same, the audience was captive and people were rushing in as we left out. Jennifer Hudson has grown, and I look forward to seeing more of her.
We get overwhelmed on the nightly on the news with young people in a undeveloped relationship (the war) and they are still acting out a bad script. Truly 'one night only' to get a break from the reminder of war wasn't as bad as all you say.
the oscars have disqualified her.
it is an oscar rule that for best song,there can only be
only up to 3 writers.beyonce was disqualified because the other 3 people actually wrote the song listen.
i wish they could nominate 'and i'm telling you' because honestly-that was the best song and performance in the movie.
jennifer was the best part of th movie.eddie as well.
i don't think i'ts worth all the hype but jennifer and eddie rocked!
