Dreamgirls the film, starring Beyoncé Knowles, Jennifer Hudson, and Eddie Murphy, was released in theaters.
Jennifer Hudson won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Dreamgirls.
Finally got to see this in theaters - it's a lovely movie. One of the higher quality family-friendly sci fi movies in a LONG time. The part I liked least about the book was the humor - movie was the same. Which speaks to how good the adaptation was.
This is the best action movie of all time!
