'DREAMGIRLS' MOVIE REVIEW BY JASMINE
I really didn’t expect much from this movie. I was like OK, Beyonce’s in it, OK Jennifer Hudson,well,I haven’t ever seen her act before,and Jamie Foxx is in it so it might be good.But you know how some actors have their good movies and their bad movies? I didn’t really have high expectations for this movie, but when I saw it I was impressed.I didn’t think it was going to be like a musical and more like a movie, and it was like Chicago, and Chicago is one of my favorite movies.This totally blows Chicago out of the water,I think,with the singing and Jennifer Hudson’s acting. I know her personally, and to see her on the big screen I was, like, oh my gosh. I had chills,and she got to kiss Jamie Foxx. When that happened I just jumped out of my seat. I was like no way, she got to kiss Jamie Foxx, she got to work with Beyonce and all these great actors.I am just so happy for her, she’s doing great for herself.I’m just getting chills just thinking about. She really made a name for herself in that movie and she’s going to make it far - this is her big break.

"Nothing serious, though," Jasmine was overheard saying, but she was speaking only for herself. But Kris is said to feel "more seriously" for Jasmine than the other way around.
