eddie murphy for best support actor . what an insult to alan arkin and djimon hounsou . jamie foxx ( who can act ) walk through this film like a zombie . beyonce . that be act . this movie pal in comparison to chicago or just about any other recent musical . if it be not for the great singing and performance of jennifer hudson i would have give this a zero . and no i never saw the stage play so i be not make the typical broadway vs. hollywood rap .
