THE MOVIE REVIEW OF "DREAMGIRLS"

Now if you haven't seen "Dreamgirls" then you are missing ONE OF THE HOTTEST FILMS that's out. Just to tell you a little, but not to much, about the film. It's based on a Broadway Musical that shows the struggles of family and how the waves of water brung them back to shore.

Effie White (Jennifer Hudson) was excellent. I wouldn't change anything. The struggles that she went through and the pain she felt would've made a weak person quit. (Which I think is based on Florance Ballard's life but with a happy ending.)

Curtis Taylor Jr. (Jamie Foxx) who ended up managing the group, along with other things, snaked his way in the family tree. (Which I think is based on Barry Gordy's life, just not the whole story.)

Deena Jones (Beyonce Knowles) also played an excellent role of Curtis' wife. She started out a member of the group and became the lead singer of it. (Which is based on Diana Ross' life, again with a twisted story.)

James “Thunder” Early (Eddie Murphy), a womanizer, which was still married but found himself in a love triangle. (Which I think is based on Jackie Wilson's life, of course leaving a few things out.)

Lorrell Robinson (Anika Noni Rose) the third singer that no one seems to talk about. But in my opinion she can roll with the best of them. (Which I think was Mary Wilson.)

Also in the movie was Danny Glover (James Early's manager), Keith Robinson and Bobby Slayton.
