Hi. I am probably one of your biggest fans. No seriously. i've counted and watched the movie 15 times! But it ended in a little wonder. Maybe you should make another one that brings them back into our time. And they have to learn to find and use the style to make money. Dreamgirls 2 wouldn't be right. How about The new Dreams.
other than that, I loved the movie. it was great. Give a wonderful thanks to Bill Condon from him to
me! Please do this for me and everyone else.
Sincerly your biggest fan ,

Pro Reviews: Dream Girls / O.S.T.
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews When Dreamgirls became the most successful musical of the 19811982 Broadway season, composer Henry Krieger and lyricist Tom Eyen's score was not the primary reason most observers pointed to, opting instead first for director/choreographer Michael Bennett's imaginative, nonstop staging and second for the talented cast, led by Jennifer Holliday in the role of Effie Melody White. (In the plot's fictionalized retelling of the story of Motown Records and the rise of the Supremes, Effie is the Florence Ballard character, shunted aside by manipulative record company president Curtis Taylor, Jr. [read: Berry Gordy, Jr.] in favor of the bland Deena Jones [read: Diana Ross], who he thinks is more likely to reach a crossover audience.) Krieger and Eyen did succeed in providing a showcase for Holliday in the volcanic torch song "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," which topped the RB charts and made the original Broadway cast album a gold record (a rarity for show music LPs by 1982), but on the whole their score struggled to achieve its twin goals of shadowing actual Motown and other pop music of the '60s and early '70s, while also expressing plot and character points. Twentyfive years later, the score has been reshaped for a movie version of Dreamgirls. On this 20track soundtrack album (there is also a 36track deluxe edition), even less of an attempt has been made at fidelity to the sounds of the '60s; in these new arrangements, the songs, which always had elements of early '80s Adult Contemporary styles, lean even more toward American Idol power ballad territory. Ironically, Dreamgirls, which onstage was sort of an antistar vehicle driven by the injustice against Effie and her subsequent revenge, has been partially transformed into a star vehicle for other characters. One of those characters is Deena, here played, even more ironically, by Beyoncé Knowles who is, arguably, the Diana Ross of her times in more ways than one. (Destiny's Child, her former group, also had its share of controversy and personnel changes, with attendant lawsuits.) Not surprisingly, Deena Jones is softened in the movie and given a new solo song, "Listen," cowritten by Knowles. That the song is out of character for Deena and defies the logic of the plot doesn't seem to matter; Knowles must have a showcase, and this is it. Similarly, Eddie Murphy, as James Thunder Early, a James Brownlike singer unable to smooth his rough edges sufficiently to cross over, also gets an outofcharacter number, "Patience," which improbably bids to transform Early into a kind of Marvin Gaye figure. Again, the plot suffers, but a star is accommodated. (The one other major star in the film, Jamie Foxx, having already won an Academy Award for Ray, doesn't seem to have felt the need to turn Curtis into a good guy with a big solo number. Instead, he revels in his villainy, all but twirling a mustache on occasion.) |

Pros: The Casting is Pure Chemistry
Cons: Jennifer Hudson didn't get top billing though she is the show stopper.
I have seen this movie thrice, that's two times plus one more. Funny thing I can't get enough I will be seated center row, lemon aide in hand ready willing and anticipating each and every scene as they unfold, electricity surging through my body. This is a very exciting film. The music mimics the era when music meant something. Women were respected and everybody wanted their star to shine, for more then just Cadillac cars and glitery watches, the glitter mostly remained on the clothes. This film gives an inside look as to how music from the 60's and 70's grew up with a cause and a purpose and the struggle that paralled life was felt and expressed in the music. It also shows that throughout history our own people had a hand in holding us back and selling us out. Jaime Fox has once again convinced the masses that he is a star with a performing range yet to be untapped, he is going to explode, even bigger. Eddie Murphy is himself, confident, funny and entertaining in his true to form style. Jennifer Hudson is a star on the pinnicle and we wait, hungry for more. The other cast and crew are spectacular and I must go to purchase my ticket to next showing. Salute and I bow gracefully for all who had a hand in bringing this film to fruation, and please check your ticket stubs to guarentee you are seeing, "Dream Girls", and not some other dancing and singing movie you did not pay for. "Dreams Girls", is adrenilin, inspiration, hope and a planned agenda for true success, and I say thank we need to see this more and more. ...
