What’s the Science?

December 29, 2006 by Marc Lamont Hill

This week’s “What’s The Science”: Dreamgirls.

Since the summer, everyone has been calling Dreamgirls the “movie event of the year.” In spite (or perhaps because) of the considerable attention it has received, I have yet to see the film. Without spoiling the movie for those who haven’t seen it, I need to know whether the movie was as good as its hype. Was this really the role that Beyonce was born to play? Does Eddie Murphy really deserve and Oscar for his part? Did Jennifer Hudson really steal the show?

I have not seen it either, but from what my peoples tell me, if you had to choose between beyonce & the girls, my bad, i mean dream girls, versus the pursuit of happiness, better to get ya happiness and then just rent the original musical. not to mention, will will more than likely actually receive the oscar for a well-deserved performance….unlike eddie.
