Just go see it. Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy are enough. Beyonce is kinda wack, as expected, but not distracting enough to detract from the experience of Eddie Murphy in his finest performance maybe ever (Oscar Worthy) and Jennifer Hudson's electricity every moment she is on the screen. Every moment. When she sings "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" it is, perhaps, the best vocal performance ever on film. I shit you not. And she shines in every other emotional moment in the picture. Just, you know, wow.
Wow.
