My big problem with that movie was that they changed the convention about halfway through.<BR/><BR/>The first half of the movie, all the music was the Dreamgirls singing on stage. Then about halfway through, they start singing dialogue to each other, singing in private, person to person and not on stage.<BR/><BR/>That change in convention really screwed me up for awhile and almost completely ruined the movie for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
