Dreamgirls

I. Loved. This. Movie.

I'm not going to proclaim it as the Best Picture of the year. Nor do I think it should be nominated. (Plenty of other, better movies out there for that.) But this was - hands down - the best piece of entertainment I've seen all year.

I was giddy when I watched it. The acting was top-notch. Especially Eddie Murphy. I kept forgetting it was "Eddie Murphy." He should win an Oscar. And Jennifer Hudson, too. Damn, that girl can sing. Much better than Beyonce (but that's the point).

I've read that others felt it was more of a concert film, and that may be true. It's all about the performances. But on second viewing (yes, I saw it twice), it was a good movie, too. But the singing and dancing is the heart of this film.
