For One Night Only

Advantages: Exciting, Great Performances, Set Pieces, Some Brilliant Tunes
Disadvantages: Pacing, Sometimes Feels Stagey

...forged a new, can the Dreamgirls fight for their dreams and stay true to themselves in a sell out world?

Dreamgirls is exactly what you would expect; a bombastic, exciting, glittering showdown of substance and style which boasts wonderful performances, startling visuals and a constantly interesting story which shoots along to a moving and genuinely magical conclusion. Even though the pacing is occasionally off and a few of the songs ...
...that the weakest part of Dreamgirls was, rather bizarrely, the music; sure nearly all of the songs are exciting, moving and packed with catchy melodies, sweet vocals and interesting lyrics but rarely do they truly stand out. Too often I found the musical sequences passing me by, sometimes even getting in the way of the wider story and adding little to the richness of the piece. Music in musicals usually serves to advance the plot line, they are supposed ... more

A Dream Supreme

Advantages: Acting and the music
Disadvantages: Goes too 'Musical' half way through

Dreamgirls is a thinly veiled telling of the Diana Ross and The Supremes story, with all the names changed. Though there is no doubt in the viewers mind that this is who the main characters are based on obviously the makers deny this and say that it is all fiction, though an appearance later on in the film of a band that is so like The Jacksons it cant be a coincidence makes it hard to believe their assertions. Originally a massive stage hit Dreamgirls ...
...the music business. Dreamgirls is a good film that becomes a showcase for two actors, one mega famous and one newcomer. The newcomer, Jennifer Hudson, gives her heart and soul to the part of Effie and she is the character you really want to see more of, to learn more about. Her presence on screen is just electrifying and her voice is divine. The mega famous one is one Eddie Murphy. He plays James ‘Thunder’ Early, a 50’s rythym and blues star who ...

Ambition, Dreams and Courage

Advantages: great singing, acting, plot
Disadvantages: -

...them but I suppose with Dreamgirls it wasn't so much the hype rather a certain cast member. I am a Beyonce fan and do like her singing but I saw 'The Fighting Temptations' one of her previous acting roles and I wasn't too moved by her acting it was just another singer singing in a role and calling it acting. Now, I suppose not a lot really changed in this film as yet again she still plays the role of a singer but I suppose this is her best role yet ...
...The film has won many awards which I was quite shocked by it has won somewhere around 40 awards which is pretty amazing for a film so with this alone I decided to watch this. This film begins with us seeing a stage and singers on it, it is like a song contest and at the end one group only will win. When Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and her girls arrive late the makers are not sure if they will put her group into the show because they are late but then ...

A dream of a film

Advantages: Outstanding performances, great music
Disadvantages: singing/talking!

...it worth the wait? Dreamgirls has an impressive cast. The main cast are as follows: Jamie Foxx - Curtis Taylor Beyonce Knowles - Deena Jones Eddie Murphy - Jimmy Early aka James 'Thunder' Early Jennifer Hudson - Effie White Danny Glover - Marty Madison Keith Robinson - C.C. White Anika Noni Rose - Lorell Robinson Sharon Leal - Michelle Morris It is directed by Bill Condon who also wrote the screenplay. The film is an adaptation of the successful ...
...about? The story itself is nothing knew. Its about the rise of an all american girl trio through the sixties and seventies. I would compare their image and vocal style very much with the supremes. It is in a similar vein to the Tina Turner film 'Whats love got to do with it' but on a much grander scale. The film starts with three young girls (calling themselves the dreamettes) arriving late for a talent show style night and begging to be allowed ...

* Girls That Dream *

Advantages: Music!
Disadvantages: None!

I had never seen Beyonce acting in a film before so was curious to see what she would be like. So when I found out she was in the film Dream Girls and my friend had the DVD , I asked her if I could borrow it. Dream Girls is an American film which comes under the musical and drama genres. The film was released in the United Kingdom on February 2nd 2007. This film was directed by Bill Condon and stars Beyonce Knowls and Eddie Murphy. Running time ...
...(eleven minutes over two hours). This movie is a certificated 12A. The film begins in the 1960's when Effie , Deena and Lorrell who are in a band called the Dream-ettes , enter a talent competition. After trying and trying they eventually become famous and are up against the Beatles in the music charts. The film then moves onto a few years later and shows how the girls' lives have changed. Basically this film is about the importance of friends and ...

A Dream or a Nightmare?

Advantages: Great singing, acting, outfits.
Disadvantages: A bit boring, a bit samey all the way through.

Dreamgirls is probably most notable for starring Beyonce Knowles as Deena Jones. Also starring are the handsome Jamie Fox as manager and Cadillac sales man, Curtis Taylor Jr., and Eddie Murphy as the lengendary Jimmy Early. The plot follows a trio of young, black, female singers called 'The Dreamettes' as they fight their way onto the pop charts against a tide of prejudice. Whilst this movie includes songs in the form of stage performances at the ...
...third of the way through when Effie (Jennifer Hudson) finds out she is to be replaced as lead singer by Deena. From then on, random musical outbursts take presidence and since I really can't stand musicals (however, I love music), this really began to annoy me. Whilst the acting is good and the scenary is good and everything is pretty much ok and good in this movie, nothing but the singing is great. Unfortunately, when I say the singing is great, ...

Fame comes and goes, but dreams live forever

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing much.

's such a very good song which is beautifully sung. The song is a very good song as well, it's very jazzy and works with the big band behind her, but her voice is never overpowered by the music and she stays listenable throughout. Family- Keith Robinson, Jennifer Hudson, Jamie Foxx & Beyonce Knowles The song starts with Jennifer Hudson almost talking, and then Keith Robinson's voice joins in and it becomes a beautiful little song sung by most of the cast, but it is Keith Robinson who takes this song in my opinion, he has a very soft voice, and probably wouldn't work in today's industry, but he'll be brilliant in stage shows and musicals like this. They remix the song later on, but I prefer this one, it's a lot slower and Robinson doesn't sing on the other version. A beautiful song. Dreamgirls- Beyonce Knowles, Jennifer Hudson ...

Dream a Little Dream

Advantages: A star-making turn from Jennifer Hudson and toe-tapping songs.
Disadvantages: An entirely superficial movie.

for their boots. The aforementioned ballad is a real test of Jennifer Hudson's talents just because it goes on so long and she has to hold a lot of notes. But it feels self-indulgent because it could get the message across in quicker. Overall the tracks are well-produced but lack real resonance. "Dreamgirls" is a perfectly serviceable screen musical, but like many of its ilk it lacks the emotional depth to make it a great film. The writing is adequate, the direction conveys the excitement of the up-tempo song-and-dance numbers and Jennifer Hudson gives a star-making performance as Effie. But there wasn't enough substance to match the style for my tastes. All the rapidly edited musical numbers in the world can't compensate for lack of character development or original plotting. So it felt rather average, all in all. ...
