The movie is about a trio of black female soul singers who cross over to the pop charts in the early 1960s, facing their own personal struggles along the way.
I read some reviews before I saw the movie. My expectations were lowered by the reviews but the movie surprised me a bit. I am not a big fan of musicals so this review is a bit biased. The movie is good. I feel like it lacks a bit of drama in some parts. In some parts of the movie, it's just music. And in my opinion, that's not as fun.
Jennifer Hudson got an oscar for her part in the movie and that is well deserved. Her acting is very good and she plays her role perfectly. Overall the acting is good from most of the actors.
I find it hard to see the bad things in the movie when there is a song every 10 minutes. Especially when all the songs are very happy sounding. It's like listening to "Pumped Up Kicks". It sounds happy but it's really not.
Overall I give the movie a seven. It's good, not great.
