DIRECTION AND STORY - I loved the direction the film's story took. At first, "Dreamgirls" started as a slow, boring movie with beautiful songs. By the time the characters met Eddie Murphy, the movie started to get better. Not only that, the movie got better and better as the story progresses. The story is WONDERFUL AND MAKE ME THINK IF (ASSUMING THAT I HAVE GREAT ACTING SKILLS) I ACTUALLY WOULD WANT TO BE AN ACTOR SOMEDAY. I later found out that the story is loosely based on The Supremes and that fact made the story better (in my opinion).

ACTING - Everyone was great. Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy were undeniably fantastic. Also, I did not know that Beyonce could act.

SONGS / MUSICAL NUMBERS - They were so good, they made me sing. (Especially in "Listen" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." Though, admittedly, I sang thanks to the TNT Boys).

MAKE UP (COSTUMES) - Like the other aspects of the film, they were amazing. (At the film's start, I did not recognize Beyonce).

WHY 4 AND NOT 5? - Like I said, the movie started as a slow, boring movie with beautiful songs..

STILL, I LOVED IT!!!!!!! I'm glad that my idols, the TNT Boys, sang "Listen," "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" and "Can't Hurry Love" because some comments on Youtube videos featuring the TNT Boys singing these songs mentioned that they wanted to rewatch this movie. THOSE COMMENTS ARE THE ONLY REASONS WHY I SAW THIS FILM! Those comments lead me to a wonderful movie.
