This movie was better than I expected. I was expecting the same old story regarding the Motown era,but was thrilled by the content of the movie. Very good performances by the actors.

This is definitely the best musical biopic of the year and I was satisfied.The acting was top notch from actors such as Jeffrey Wright,Beyonce,Columbus Short and Mos Def.The plot was not entirely correct but the music paid up for it.Out of This is definitely the best musical biopic of the year and I was satisfied.The acting was top notch from actors such as Jeffrey Wright,Beyonce,Columbus Short and Mos Def.The plot was not entirely correct but the music paid up for it.Out of all the actors,Beyonce showed the most emotion and was most in sync with the story so kudos to her.… Expand

Great music and a fine performance from Beyonce Knowles helps lift this film up above average. The story is rather predictable though. Good effort on capturing the feel of the times. Well edited, good score.

Great acting by all of the actors. Columbus Short hasn't received enough praise for his role. Great music. Would love to see more movies about these musicians.
