Title: A Talented Cast Held Back by a Poor Script
Review: The acting of Eddie Murphy and Jamie Foxx supplemented with the singing of Jennifer Hudson and Beyonce' - the makings of a great musical film, right? Unfortunately Dreamgirls does not deliver.The plot of Dreamgirls focuses on the struggle of a naive trio of talented young singers during the 1960's. Unfortunately the film focuses much of its attention on the root cause of all evil in the U.S. during this time period - white people. Seriously, the only time you see a caucasian or hear a reference to one during this film, it is to make the point that they racists or thieves who don't appreciate good music.In the end, I expected a lot more from this talented cast and therefore came away disappointed.
