: Dreamgirls
I really didn’t know what to expect of this; I had little interest even though it had a good reviews and I’m not anti-musical. But it turned out to be pretty good. I wasn’t that into the music — most of the songs were rather anonymous, though a couple were excellent — but I really liked the story, about a group of female singers and their rise to fame and manipulation by unscrupulous others. The character development was well-done. I also liked the way some of the same songs were presented in different styles by different characters. I’m not a musician and it was fascinating to see the way the same songs can be modified to sound so different.
