The early Dreamgirls revies are coming in, and wow… they look great. Musicals aren’t eveyone’s cup of tea, and this movie does have some big question marks hanging over it… but so far so good, the critics seem to love what they see.
Here is what some of the critics are saying in their Dreamgirls reviews:
“The movie belongs to Hudson as the proud, self-destructive Effie. When she’s center stage, Dreamgirls transports you to movie musical heaven.”
David Ansen Newsweek“Stays true to the source material while standing on its own as a fully reimagined movie.”
David Rooney Variety“I have to admit that the film’s spectacular performances and production values will blow you away much of the time — and for that, Mr. Condon and his many colleagues deserve to be commended.”
Andrew Sarris New York Observer“This baby dazzles like nothing else anywhere.”
Peter Travers Rolling Stone
As of right now Dreamgirls is holding a huge 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and is even getting some awards buzz. It was actually just nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Musical or Comedy… it might even get some Oscar buzz… but we’ll have to wait and see.
