It was interesting...
I don't think it was really what I expected.

so I finally went to see the movie... and for real for real... IMO... the movie fell flat... the only person that should be nominated for an Oscar is Jamie Foxx... he was fantastic... Eddie and Jennifer should win Golden Globes... Beyonce's eyebrows distracted me throughout the movie, her moves on stage were very Diana Ross-esque especially the whole head, neck and shoulders movement thing and after a while I lost focus...
Jimmy got soul!!! and Stepping to the Bad Side... the best parts...
but... I might be tempted to go see it again...

I thought it was just me, but I kept looking at those eyebrows like dang, why are they so colored in?
The movie was ok to me. If it wasn't for Jennifer Hudson, I probably would have left the movie early. There were instances where I felt they should have ended the movie. It was a tad bit long for me. I know it's a musical, but I got to the point where I was saying please dont sing, just talk it out...and then they started singing again. I also went after work with my husband, maybe I should have saved that movie for a weekend when I was well relaxed.

My mom's eyebrows weren't that thick, but her hair was hella huge. 
Hey AKA2D '91, thanks for the welcome. You know I can't stay gone from this place too long.

I think it was just B. Maybe that was to make her stand out. Since she was the "lead actress" she probably had a different make-up artist assigned to her.
My mom's hair? The picture I am looking at has the eyebrows and there is no big hair. It looks like it was recently pressed. She saved the big hair for the 70s (no fro, though).  LOL

My mom graduated from high school in 72 and I remember her pictures of her rocking huge afro wigs but I am drawing a blank on her eyebrows. I didn't pay too much to Beyonce's eyebrows so drawing a blank on that. I was more focused on how pale/light she was in the movie especially with darker than normal hair.

She did have a pregnant face, if there is such a thing.

LOL!!!! Jimmy got S-O-U-L... SOUL!!!!
Eddie Murphy was hilarious at those parts... the original DreamGirls play was loosely based on the Supremes story, so I have heard many times.
But I think Jennifer Hudson did a bang up job on those songs... I swear I was listening to Jennifer Holliday! And Beyonce's character, Deena, was straight tellin Curtis (Jamie) the deal in that orginal song, good addition to the movie.
I liked the movie... glad I went to see it for my date.
