i have be look forward to see dreamgirls for quite a while . what with all it rave review and nomination and medium attention . and i must say and the first quarter of the movie be good . it really portray the black music scene back then . however and a the movie wore on and me and my whole family be bore out of our wit . the singing just keep come and one after the other . i mean seriously and just one more music number and it would have break even with rent . furthermore and i notice hardly any character development in any of the character while i just do not care what happen to them . even when eddie murphy character die of a drug overdose and i know i should have be sad and but i just couldn not feel any emotion for that character . the character be give a flimsy background about sing in their childhood and whatnot and but there personality be not reveal enough to draw me in . finally and the conflict be simply not significant enough to make the viewer care and which go along with the lack of character development . this movie remind me of a copy cat movie base on ray and chicago and and rent ( ray and chicago be wonderful movie in my opinion ) . overall i think this movie would best suit someone who doesn not really care about an overall story and yet would enjoy two hour of entertain and fun singing performance .
