Watch Dreamgirls For Free

That was an excellent one.

I'll tell you why so serious

As Good As It Gets

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

I can't believe that so much acting and singing talent went into making this dud. No amount of vocal gymnastics (and Dreamgirls is full of it, to the point that it becomes meaningless) could have brought off the film's tiresome succession of plastic, mass-produced songs with corny lyrics and barely a hint of the Motown sound. And no amount of skilled acting could have made anything out of the film's lifeless script and flimsy story line.Interestingly, one scene parallels what the film as a whole does: Edie Murphy has his new song stolen by the white recording industry, which sanitises it and removes all traces of soul from it to make it acceptable to the mainstream teenage audience of the day. This is exactly what Dreamgirls has done with the black music culture of the '60s and the Motown sound.The result is a film that's an emotional flat liner with characters and situations you simply don't care about. The filmmakers did do some good work, though, in recreating the look of the period. There was some really great music being made back then, but from this film you'd never guess it.

I couldnt take most of this movie seriously because of the boring songs and super predictable characters. "hit" songs that they were releasing which made them rich and famous were just mehhh imo. also at times it felt like i was watching "trapped in the closet"three singer friends who try to fight their way up in the music industry have to struggle with bad managers, copyright issues and betrayals.

I never give 10's. I just did. It's really too good. Too relevant, too human, too real , too polished and musically fantastic. Do yourself a big favor and enjoy this wonderful , wonderful film. It will make you happy without losing all balance. Sure its the entertainment industry and victory is pretty airbrushed, but a beautiful thing is still a beautiful thing, and this is a beautiful entertainment that celebrates something beautiful in the black soul that a pale skin like me can throw himself into with deep gratitude and appreciation.The music will involve you irresistibly even as the dynamics of human relationships , ambition and relationship play out. Just great. Enjoy.

"Dreamgirls" is a nice musical movie in which we are back in 1960's where we have a trio of black female soul singers who are trying really hard to succeed. Also we get into their lives and in their relationships.I pretty liked this movie even though I do not like musicals because of the cast and their interpretations. Jamie Foxx who played as Curtis Taylor Junior was for one more time magnificent such Eddie Murphy who played as James 'Thunder' Early was. I liked also the interpretations of Jennifer Hudson (won the Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role), about Beyoncé Knowles I have to say that was not as good as I hoped to but it was OK. One more thing that I liked in this movie was the costumes of the actors and of course the music.Finally I have to say that "Dreamgirls" is a good musical movie and a simple one. If you are a fan of musicals then I believe that you will love it, if you are not then it would be something different but nice.
