I am a big fan of musical biopics and this cast is superb. While this does not stand atop the genre in any way, the plot and music is good enough to make this a very enjoyable experience. Rating: 3.5/5 - 80% - Would Recommend

The story is entertaining yet predictable, but the music is absolutely legendary, elevating this particular musical to heights only titles like Grease or The Wizard of Oz have reached. Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson are mesmerising.

This hasn't aged well. It's very much a musical that has been turned into a film - seems obvious - but by that I mean that it relies too much on musical numbers to cover the absence of a script. The positives - Eddie Murphy is brilliant. Jennifer Hudson's vocals are amazing. Beyonce and Jamie Foxx are very good in their roles as Berry Gordy and Diana Ross... ;) It starts quite well, has a couple of dodgy numbers, a couple of great ones, and then turns dark in the end. It's okay. But it's not a classic... 6/10

Totally not my kind of music and the story wasn't that great. But it paints a good picture of the era and what it ment to be a black musician. If they had focused more on that I might have liked it more. So, very subjective rating. If you like the music you probably will enjoy the movie.

Jennifer Hudson is simply superb in this musical roller-coaster of a film. She is "Effie" whom, along with "Deena" (Beyoncé Knowles) and "Lorrell" (Anika Noni Rose), form a trio of singers aspiring to fame and fortune. Along the way, they encounter the usual suite of difficulties - bigotry, racism More
