Negative Positive
Title: Just bad
Review: As the story of the Supremes, I wonder why they didn't just make a bio-pic with the real music? As it stands, this is unsatisfying, and the original score is a screechfest that's not even close to Motown in style. This reminds of the awful Bette Midler 70s pic, "The Rose," another attempt to tell a star's story without actually naming the star, in that case Janis Joplin. Eddie Murphy, as the Marvin Gayish singer, is sort of impressive here, but Jamie Foxx is expressionless as the Berry Gordy-like character. The dreamgirls themselves are forgettable. Watch it if you like ear-numbing screeching.
