It was good that this play/movie has a happy feel good ending because the real life story "Effie" character it is somewhat based upon, ends very tragically.  |
They weren't compared in the movie. What I mean is both groups have a lot of similarities with their experiences. For example, Beyonce sang lead when the group took off, a member was dropped from the group, then made a comeback (Effie: Letoya), and the Dreamettes experience with the talent show in the beginning of the movie could be compared to DC's experience with Star Search . Those are just a few. But I didn't mean that they were compared in the movie.
I didn't know that this was actually based on a true story. Wow, interesting.
I loved how similar the movie was to the play. They did an AMAZING job with this. I keep watching the making of clips, they actually had someone sketch every scene. Truly amazing!
