“Real quick …u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI meant to write this review after seeing the movie during the first week. But, it looks like many of you feel the same as me, so Iu0026#39;ll add my two cents and make it quick.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe film is very good, and it makes you feel good to see it. Jennifer Hudson did Jennifer Hoilday proud. (She just won the Golden Globe for it. Well deserved.) Eddie Murphy is fantastic as James u0026quot;Thunderu0026quot; Early. I couldnu0026#39;t help but to be reminded of his James Brown imitations on SNL (and of his song u0026quot;My Girl Wants to Pary All The Timeu0026quot;). He continues to show how talented he is. Even though heu0026#39;s not a singer, his performance is spot on for the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBeyonce wasnu0026#39;t bad. Her acting was a little flat at times, but she shined when she was on stage, as always. Sheu0026#39;s not an actress, but she held her own. Still, she got lost sometimes with Jennifer and Eddie doing such stand-out jobs.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wasnu0026#39;t sure how the play would translate to film. I saw the play, and I greatly enjoyed the film.”
