I TOLD you I couldn't wait!!!

I forgot to mention that we went to see Dream Girls last Saturday.
"How did you see it last Saturday when it doesn't open until Christmas day???" you ask?
Well, for some reason it was released early in New York, LA and San Francisco. Of course, being able to see it early came with a price. The tix were 25 bucks a pop. I guess the fact that they handed us each a beautiful full color program and a limited edition, numbered lithograph as we were walking into the theater kinda' explains the ticket price.
Anyhow...
IT WAS FREAKIN' FANTASTIC! (and I would've been happy paying the 25 bucks even without the litho and program). I loved absolutely everything about this movie. Jennifer Hudson was brilliant in every way. Girl could sing, dance AND act. I was not surprised when they announced she was nominated for a Golden Globe.
As for Beyonce. I'm not a big giant fan of hers and walked in prepared to hate her as Dina. I was totally wrong. She was wonderful as well.
Eddie Murphy - brilliant as James Thunder Early.
Anika Noni Rose was gorgeous. It's tough to believe that such a huge, gorgeous voice comes out of such a little girl.
The weakest of the group was Jaime Fox. It just seemed like he phoned it in. There was a certain passion lacking from his performance. Thankfully his less than brilliant performance didn't really put a dent in my enjoyment of the movie.
Hopefully this will continue to stoke the flames of the movie musical comback.
