Dreamgirls: Review

Bill Condon's screenplay for Chicago wrestled the notoriously thorny Bob Fosse show into filmable form, and his reward was Dreamgirls. And if his adaptation of the fabled Michael Bennett spectacle falls short of greatness, it's still very, very good. The plot is a thinly veiled gloss on the rocky rise of girl-group superstars The Supremes, wrapped in a cautionary tale about selling your soul (and your funk and rhythm and blues) to the Devil.
