Synopsis: Twenty-five years after first bringing Broadway audiences to their feet, the Tony Award-winning musical sensation 'Dreamgirls' comes to the big screen starring Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx ('Ray'), Beyonce Knowles ('Austin Powers in Goldmember'), Danny Glover (the 'Lethal Weapon' franchise), newcomer Jennifer Hudson, Tony Award winner Anika Noni Rose (Broadway's 'Caroline or Change') and Eddie Murphy ('The Nutty Professor,' 'Dr. Dolittle'). Set in the turbulent early 1960s to mid-70s, 'Dreamgirls' follows the rise of a trio of women--Effie (Jennifer Hudson), Deena (Beyonce Knowles) and Lorrell (Anika Noni Rose)--who have formed a promising girl group called The Dreamettes. At a talent competition, they are discovered by an ambitious manager named Curtis Taylor, Jr. (Jamie Foxx), who offers them the opportunity of a lifetime: to become the back-up singers for headliner James 'Thunder' Early (Eddie Murphy). Curtis gradually takes control of the girls' look and sound, eventually giving them their own shot in the spotlight as The Dreams. That spotlight, however, begins to narrow in on Deena, finally pushing the less attractive Effie out altogether. Though the Dreams become a crossover phenomenon, they soon realize that the cost of fame and fortune may be higher than they ever imagined.
