Pook
Makes the Ike & Tina movie look like Citizen Kane.

David S
Dreary and predictable. At times it felt like a spoof movie.

Angelcake
Really corny load of tosh. Jenny Hudson is v good but that is not enough to sustain you.

Preview Boy
Over-rated, overhyped tosh

Donna Jarrett
Very enjoyable film. Jennifer Hudson steals the show.

Blessing
The best movie of the year.

Samara
This is the best musical movie I have ever seen. It is truly movie royalty.

Magrei
Painful... Awful movie...

Deryn
This movie was GREAT! I loved Eddie Murphy!

QB
What a fabulous film. All I can say is go see it.

Kate
Really bad, the audience actually sighed when they started singing towards the end, enough was enough. Hudson got a round of applause after her big number but its not really worth sitting through the rest. Avoid like the plague!

daphne

I thought the razzle dazzle kept my mood up between the dead scenes. Jennifer Hudson is surprising as Effie. Beyonce can only either act excited or dissapointed. Jamie Foxx was so slick! Murphy was so over excited. Overall good looking but lacking strong themes.

this film is amazing and really puts across the story so well it feels like its real and its entangled in your life , you cant stop yourself from asking- whatever will happen next?

Angela
Did not know what to expect but it was just overdone and boring. Some of the audience were laughing at the corny, slushy numbers in between. Too much gloss and not enough substance.

This film was amazing and crazt at the same time. Yes Beyonce's career is over as an actor and definatley as a singer. BUT I highly reccomended this film to all. Yes it was boring at times especially when Beyonce took over the group and when Eddie Murphy was acting. I'D WATCH IT AGAIN AND BUY THE DVD. JUST 4 JENNIFER HUDSON

Cherry
Rubbish, hudson is overdone whereas knowles underplays beautifully. Very disappointing.

At some points, I was actually laughing, this film is so over-the-top. The songs are a bit dry to be honest, and delivered with such gusto, I was suprised that Jenni Hudson didn't explode. Sorry, it's a big boring camp blowout of a movie. PS Beyonce still can't act. Fact.

David
Poor music, an overwrought performance from Hudson. Knowles looks good but can't act. Too long with a story thats not much more than a collection of cliches.

John
WOW! Having heard so much about Jennifer Hudson I was expecting something good - but she is way more than just good, she's INCREDIBLE!Her voice is jaw- droppingly awsome and her acting impressive too- she upstages Beyonce's performance on both counts.I give this film 8/10 because of Jennifer Hudson.It should have been called just 'Dreamgirl '.
