Eddie Murphy for best supporting actor??? What an insult to Alan Arkin and Djimon Hounsou. Jamie Foxx (who can act) walks through this film like a zombie. Beyonce ??? That was acting??? This movie pales in comparison to CHICAGO or just about any other recent musical. If it were not for the great singing and performance of Jennifer Hudson I would have given this a ZERO.And no I never saw the stage play so I am not making the typical Broadway vs. Hollywood rap.
