"An Entertaining Musical"
Added 7/22/2009
Movie musicals gained new notoriety with the release of "Chicago" a few years back, so it was only natural that a studio was going to finally release the film version of "Dreamgirls". I say finally because ever since "Dreamgirls" debut on Broadway in 1981, starring Jennifer Holiday, there has been talk that this fine show would make it to the big screen. In 2006 "Dreamgirls" premiered at the boxoffice to audience and critical acclaim.
I first saw most of the cast of "Dreamgirls" when they promoted the film on "Oprah" and I knew it was going to be a huge hit. Beyonce, Jennifer Hudson, Eddie Murphy, and Jamie Foxx star in this film based on the lives of 1960's girl group The Supremes. However, it is Jennifer Hudson's searing performance of Ellfie that steals the film with Oprah telling her that watching Hudson's performance is like "a religious experience". She plays the role based on the life of Florence ballard, the Supreme who became an alcoholic and died broke. Beyonce is also great in the Diana Ross role. Everything from the beautiful music to the costumes is excellent, and you do not have to be a fan of Broadway musicals to enjoy this film. "Dreamgirls" is an entertaining movie for everyone who has ever had a dream of making it big in show business. Jennifer Hudson would reach superstardom by winning that years Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in the film.
This 2 disc set comes with a slew of bonuses, the best being a two hour documentary on how "Dreamgirls" was developed from Broadway to film.
"Dreamgirls" has so far made over 154 million dollars worldwide.

What is this?!?!?!? This broadway show/movie is not what you think it is. Damn you Mary Wilson!
Added 6/3/2009
This movie is absolutely sickening, and I could not even stomach it. Also, the comparisons of this movie, and the broadway show it is based on to the rise, and fall of the Supremes are utterly laughable.
First of all, "Dreamgirls" is not based on the rise and fall of the Supremes. It is about the MTV girl group known as Bee-Yawn-Cee and Desintary's Child, with Bee-Yawn-Cee playing herself, Jennifer Simpleton playing Michelle Williams, and Anika Nomi Rose playing Kelly Roland.
Second, to say that Diana Ross slept with Berry Gordy to get to where she is today is an outright lie. The fact is that history proved Berry Gordy correct in making Diana Ross the lead singer of the Supremes.
Third, the time, and location of which this movie is based in are just wrong. Flat wrong. The time period in the show, and in this movie is the late 1990's, and early 2000's, and the setting is not Detroit. The setting is Chicago.
When I watched this movie, I had to wonder what planet I was on. Anything that has American Idol is what I try to avoid. The acting is soulless, the singing is absolutely rubbish, and there is no good story. I suspect that this Broadway show and movie was made by some payed Supremes hack who has been under the manipulative lies of that scum traitor known as Mary Wilson. Florence Ballard had a hand in her own downfall, and for good reason. I don't need this movie to tell me the story of the Supremes. I would read any book by Diana Ross, or Thomas Adrahtas. Why? It's because those books set the records straight when it comes to the Supremes. This movie is not recommended. Avoid or risk contempt!

Blu Ray is the way to go (you are missing out)
Added 5/14/2009
I am going to make this short as possible. This is one of my favorte movies. I seen this in the movie theatre, on the regular DVD so many scenes have been cut out.Blu ray special feature you get every scene, but you would need a USB flash memory card to really enjoy the whole movie. This movie is a must have on blu ray for the true music lover.
