Anyone else see it? What first intrigued me about this movie is that they cast Jennifer Hudson as Effie White. She' s the girl that get's cast out of the "Dreamettes". I loved Jennifer when she was on American Idol. The girl could sing then but man, she showed the world that she can sing now! The movie was really good. I'm not a huge fan of musical movies but I loved this one. I especially enjoyed the costumes! There's 2 songs that are just incredible and the movie audience applauds. Oh, Eddie Murphy does a really good job of playing a "James Brown" type of character. Beyonce looked beautiful and super skinny. She must have lost quite a bit of weight for this part. Anyway, I recommend seeing it!

I was disappointed last season when Jennifer Hudson was voted off so early IMO. I always thought she was extremely talented. I preferred her to the winner, who BTW I can not remember her name.

I have been a fan of Dreamgirls since it was a Broadway show a couple of decades ago. I have all but worn out the album, (for the youngins- that's 12 inch vinyl) I wonder what took them so long to make the movie! I can't wait to see the movie, unfortunatley I don't think its playing in Panama City yet. When CHICAGO the musical came out I had to drive to Tallahassee to see it; a couple of months before it came to Panama City. I bought the soundtrack to the Dreamgirls Movie and love it. I'm glad it is getting great reviews. I guess I'll have to go to Tally to see it too. Is it playing in Destin?

I have been a fan of Dreamgirls since it was a Broadway show a couple of decades ago.Us, too. The year it opened on Broadway, we must have flown up three times to see it. Every time Jennifer Holliday sang "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going," we'd cry like babies. I hope it's playing in Destin. Wouldn't mind seeing it tomorrow.

I want to see this one for sure!

Oh good, I'm glad you got to see it! Jaime Fox made some kind of jab like..it's playing all across the country in 800 theaters...you do the math. I don't know why it didn't open everywhere.

It doesn't open Nationally till this weekend. Imagine that it is doing as well as it is, and only in limited release. I never made it to Tallahassee to see it like I planned, and it should finally be in Panama City this weekend. I've been waiting 25 years to see it! Can't wait, have already worn out the soundtrack, just like I did the LP way back when....
Beach Fanatic
When I called the theatre here, they said it wouldn't open till the 19th. I guess they rushed it in, cause I ran to the theater tonight to see it and WOW:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1:
It was not good, it was GRAYT. I've worn out the album over the last two decades, bought the new CD the day it came out, and already plan on seeing the movie again, and maybe again on the big screen. Its that good.
Just remember, that like a Broadway play, it is very long. However unlike a broadway play, there is no intermission. An emply bladder or depends undergarment is a must.:lol:
I'm so happy for Jennifer Hudson that played the lead Effie. Someone needs to serve up a big plate of Crow for Simon the closet case from American Idol. He can actually kiss my ass too. Can't stand him or that show. Jennifer Hudson has a great success story. The Golden Globe. And upcoming Oscar nomination. Which she had better get.:!:
Man, I can't wait to see it again. Will probably go see it Saturday afternoon.
