I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I loved the music, the story was good and they even managed to give Eddie Murphy a role that didn't want me to gouge my eyes out. It's not perfect, but overall I was happy with the result. |

Basically, this movie didn't have a whole lot of acting going on. There were so many songs that the soundtrack could have been a 7 disc 12 song per cd set. I now know why it was not nominated for an oscar. Do not waste your time. |

Eddie Murphy should have won the Best Supp. Actor Oscar. This is one of my favorite musicals. Musicals are pretty much always boring and dreadful. This one actually keeps me interested in the story and its characters. This was a pretty good film. |

Odd choices involving the music. |
|
Not very good not really that bad either. I find the mix of musical type signing and standard stage singing did not really work well together. In fact it is surprising the first time they sing like in a musical. I think they should probably have done one of the musical signing in the streets type songs a little earlier and at a more even rate. This is because there are actually few of them but it causes those ones to seem very odd. The acting is fine but the characters really lack much You do not really get to know any of the characters enough to care about them in anyway.
Pros: Well sung I suppose, and looks fine.
Cons: Overrated when it comes to just plain acting. Poorly devised musical making certain signing parts seemed strange. The characters were 2 dimensional. |

Jennifer Hudson is phenomenal |
|
Uneven all-black musical drama has too little character development and most of the cast lack sympathy; Jennifer Hudson, however, is phenomenal and nearly saves the movie single-handedly. It's a wonder just how much praise and attention this received. Final Grade: C |

More like a nightmare |

A mess. Beyonce should never be allowed on a movie set, that's one. Two, I didn't even know it was a musical until 15 minutes into the movie. In the actors were singing on stage, which is normal because this is a musical movie, but then out of nowhere 15 minutes into the movie Jamie Foxx and his crew start singing in the street. I remember being in the theatre and hear people whispering like "What's goin on?" "This is a musical" Horrible. This was just a mess. |
