Dreamgirls...

First off, in my defense, I was dragged to see this movie kicking and screaming. Just as I predicted, it was a complete waste of time. I'm so disappointed that all these big stars chose to lower their standards. Well, for Beyonce it's allowed...when you have movies like Pink Panther and Carmen:A Hip Hopera, getting a break in the movie industry can be kind of hard. She should stick to music. Danny Glover, on the other hand, has no excuse.
That this movie is actually being considered for Oscars is an abomination! In fact, shetani ashindwe! If they really have to give an Oscar for this movie, it should be to Jennifer Hudson for actually making Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction seem halfway normal.
I've watched a few musicals. Grease was a great musical. In Dreamgirls, they burst into song at strange moments like they've been possessed by demons! And the words to the songs are really corny too e.g. "And you...and you...and you...and you...you're gonna love me..." Since when did being a stalker encourage someone to stay with you? In fact that's the number one problem with this movie. It just isn't believable. I felt like I was watching Tahamaki in a musical form! I know this is a fashion blog but something had to be said...so do yourselves a favour and keep the $10 you were going to spend on Dreamgirls in the bank!
