The story is entertaining yet predictable, but the music is absolutely legendary, elevating this particular musical to heights only titles like Grease or The Wizard of Oz have reached. Beyoncé and Jennifer Hudson are mesmerising.

This hasn't aged well. It's very much a musical that has been turned into a film - seems obvious - but by that I mean that it relies too much on musical numbers to cover the absence of a script. The positives - Eddie Murphy is brilliant. Jennifer Hudson's vocals are amazing. Beyonce and Jamie Foxx are very good in their roles as Berry Gordy and Diana Ross... ;) It starts quite well, has a couple of dodgy numbers, a couple of great ones, and then turns dark in the end. It's okay. But it's not a classic... 6/10

Totally not my kind of music and the story wasn't that great. But it paints a good picture of the era and what it ment to be a black musician. If they had focused more on that I might have liked it more. So, very subjective rating. If you like the music you probably will enjoy the movie.

This movie was desperately seeking an Oscar. It has everything so beautiful that it feels fake. The music is great and the story is good too but what happened to all the social disturbs that were happening and that Motown just avoided? If they had included that part this movie would have been amazing. Jennifer Hudson is an amazing singer and actress, she deserved the Oscar she won.

Jennifer Hudson is simply superb in this musical roller-coaster of a film. She is "Effie" whom, along with "Deena" (Beyoncé Knowles) and "Lorrell" (Anika Noni Rose), form a trio of singers aspiring to fame and fortune. Along the way, they encounter the usual suite of difficulties - bigotry, racism More
