I CALL RACISM.

Not half as "pretty awful" or "rediculous" as your ill-informed Wal*Mart opinion on one of the greatest, uniquely American art forms. Stick to that DRAGON BALL Z board, where your opinions may be on firmer ground and actual cultural knowledge.

The reality is that Dreamgirls is just a musical. It was developed by Condon, who had similar success in 2002's Chicago musical send up. The reality is that, motown's Berry Gordy never, ever developed a filmic bio of Michael Jackson or Diana Ross, which were two of the major influences in american pop music history.
Dreamgirls simply capitalized on that vacuum with 60s sounding musical-type performances, but could not deliver the real soul sound and shrouded allegory for what audiences really expected. The audiences yearned for a film, that fully detailed the ends on outs of stardom in 1960s motown era music, not a musical.
Not racism, just the sadly missing tribute to some of the greatest performers in history, that were likely short-changed in their legacy. -

Here we go again. No way can a white person not like a black person for any reason other than their colour, can they? Ok, we're all racists. Whatever!
I found the moviw tedious, and was doing a sudoku throughout most of it, or I'd have fallen asleep.
On the other hand I just loved Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon with an all black cast.
Love is never having to say you're sober. -

It can't be racism because I've seen other films with an all-black cast that didn't race through their already razor-thin plots. And I've also seen other musicals that didn't sacrifice their plot to jam in as many useless songs that don't advance the plot.
