The “Stepping to the Bad Side” scene HAD to have taken up most of the budget..the production of it was so good. They performed the hell out of that song! lol!
They was gaslighting the fuck out of Effie the entire movie . But I’m not gonna lie that one part when Effie and Deanna was going back and forth about what kind of woman a man wants Effie shaded Deanna crazy when they asked Curtis 😂 The only innocent person in the movie was Magic . This soundtrack is played faithfully in my household and car , idc who’s looking when I’m singing it 😂
When Jimmy was chopping up that powder and Effie’s brother said, “Not tonight brother,” and the way Jimmy looked up at him!!! That was suppose to be automatic Oscar from that moment right there!!
2 things can be true because I don’t let Effie off the hook either. She was insecure, and made sure to say shady sly stuff about Deena in front of Deena and others to try and boost her own confidence while trying to make Deena feel as insecure as she actually felt on the inside…and it still backfired because they were both being manipulated by a grown man.
Larell was 18 messing with Jimmy and Effie was 19/20 round that time. When she was walking up the stairs telling her daughter she was old lol I was like ummm girl you like 27/28 😅😂.
Lorrell didn’t care about Deena sneaking with Curtis behind Effie’s back because she was doing the same with a married man. So you know Lorrell couldn’t judge Deena. And CC was trash because he could’ve gave his sister a heads up.
I rewatched Dreamgirls several times. And I still cry when Effie sings And I'm telling you, and at the end when Curtis realizes Effie had his daughter 😢 Ashley thanks for keeping it real on this review! Love these!
I remember going to see this Christmas night as well! The Greenbriar Magic Johnson theater was packed! We gave Jen a standing ovation and I remember people clapping for Beyonce after Listen.
Beyoncé’s performance may not have been Oscar worthy but bayyybee she had them Diana mannerisms down! That little head/shoulder movement, arms stretched out in front. She studied.
Curtis, CC, and Deena were the most villainous. I like Effie's version of One Night Only, too. I Meant You No Harm/Jimmy's rap is very catchy. Curtis wanting Deena to play a 16 year old in that movie reminded me of Diana Ross playing Dorothy in The Wiz. Cadillac Records is Beyonce's best role. Have to go listen to the Dreamgirls soundtrack now.
Effie was collateral damage, Curtis wanted a group to make his dreams come true but he couldn’t get the Dreamettes if Effie said no, so he got her and that’s how he got them
- Ray was before Dreamgirls. It was released in 2004. Dreamgirls is one of my favorite movies and Broadway musicals. Dreamgirls started my love for musicals and theater. I remember having the soundtrack on repeat. "Effie Sing My Song" is my favorite song from Dreamgirls. That one and "Love You I Do" are my favorites. - Beyonce was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for her performance in the movie. The original Broadway production, Jennifer Holliday and Sheryl Lee Ralph was both nominated for Best Leading Actress in a Musical at the 1982 Tony Awards and Jennifer ended up winning. I always wonder why Jennifer Hudson was placed in the Supporting Actress category when the character Effie was the main character. - Eddie Murphy should won the Oscar for this. He was robbed. This is one of Eddie's best acting performances. - Dreamgirls was what The Color Purple should have been if the director Blitz Bazawule would have stayed true to the Broadway version and didn't make too many changes and take out majority of the songs.
Effie isn't the lead character. it's deana. That's the whole point of the movie. Effie was the real talent in the group but was pushed to the side for Deana who had the look. But in the end, talent always rises to the top. love this movie
@@2012lexie No it was Effie. Effie was always the main character ever since the Broadway production. The show was centered around Effie. Jennifer Holliday's Tony win was for Best Leading Actress.
Please don't compare what Blitz did on the Color Purple adaptation. It's a much more vast source material with a way larger universe-- and something you could not have pulled out regardless to your opinions.
In real life Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson both said that they was never offended by Diana going lead but when it became a problem is when their pay was getting played with and outside factors in Motown trying to break up their long term friendship they all had with each other and not them breaking up their friendship with each other from the inside is what happened to The Supremes.
Listen, I don’t know what Ashley is talking about. Beyoncé was a comedic GENIUS in Obsessed! Sometimes, I randomly yell out, “You TOUCHED, my child!” 😂
I wanna be like you. Pls stop Ashley lmfao 😂😂 that mini intermission had me rolling This review was hilarious. Honestly, they all were trash lol. But this film will be a classic, and I will always rewatch as if it’s the first time. 🤣
They robbed Eddie of Oscar. He was phenomenal as Jimmy! My favorite character in movie, then Jennifer. Beyoncé was only good in movie when she sung "Listen " IMO
As you were talking about Jimmy grooming Lorrell, it really clicked for me. She came from get your married hands off, to I'm a woman now and people are just trying to tear me and Jimmy apart. God knows what he was telling that girl. All kinds of you're mature for your age, my marriage is unhappy, it's me and you against the world. Off course she fell for it.
🎤 🎶 “Lorrell loves Jimmy” 🤣 Let’s not forget back then it wasn’t many if any dark complexion women who could act AND sing. Yes I like when Eddie Murphy sings too. All Beyonce roles are singing roles EXCEPT Obsessed. That’s why the singing roles are good because singing is first nature to her. “You touched my child” 😑🤭
I looooove this movie! I know the review is gonna be good. She was great in Carmen and this I think like you said they are music based so she is in a comfort zone vs straight acting next to Idris lol
Justice for Effie and Jimmy. I felt bad for both of them because she didn’t deserve to be treated like that and Jimmy didn’t deserve to die like that. They both deserved so much more outside of Curtis. It felt like he destroyed both of their lives. He was a piece of trash messing with Effie and falling in love with Deena at the same time.
Hey Ashley, will you do women of Brewster’s place. It was a good movie but not much talked about. Stars Oprah, cicely Tyson, Leon, robin givens and jackee harry, Lynn Whitfield and Lorenz Tate etc…
thank you for your movie uploads and I've enjoyed reminiscing theough your videos.. Maybe one day you can do The Five Heartbeats ❤❤❤❤❤ I need a good laugh
I didn't know that about Beyonce's vocals being injured as a young child. Whitney Houston had her injury as well with a peppermint stick as a young girl And we heard how amazing she was
I grew up as JW too. We could watch what we wanted to as long as it wasn’t about holidays or demonic. Which I never understood cus my mama never gave up her black holiday movies 🙄. But we couldn’t participate in shit
Y’all go watch the Nickelodeon documentary about thoes two adults that was doing wrong behind the scenes it was so terrible I feel bad for the families
Eddie Murphy has an album out I think it’s reggae inspired. And a couple of songs. I think he plays the guitar too. A lot of people sleep on Eddie Murphy. Ray came out before dream girls. I love me some Jamie Foxx. I think Beyoncé was better Cadillac Records
Eddie Murphy was definitely robbed of the Oscar. He was phenomenal on all levels in the movie
The “Stepping to the Bad Side” scene HAD to have taken up most of the budget..the production of it was so good. They performed the hell out of that song! lol!
“Jimmy want a piece of your chocolate cake” 🤣🤣🤣

The way Jimmy looked at the aunt/guardian when she told him he wasn’t welcome in “Hollywood” 😂😂😂!
40:39 That entire scene with all the looks from the photo shoots ate down! The extra large picture of her on the wall!
YES! IN LOVE!

Ashley thanks for keeping it real on this review! Love these!
Ashley that high note Jimmy hit the Copa Cabana was sung by Tank. lol
"Heavy" was a whole diss track.
I remember when Etta James cussed her out for Cadillac Records 😂
Cursed Beyoncé out??
I remember going to see this Christmas night as well! The Greenbriar Magic Johnson theater was packed! We gave Jen a standing ovation and I remember people clapping for Beyonce after Listen.
Me and father did the same thing when we saw it in Baltimore on Christmas Day.
Eve's Bayou next please!!!☺️☺️☺️
I been knew Eddie can sing!! Eddie Murphy had a hit song in the 80s produced by Rick James called Party All The Time! That was my jam girl!! 💃🏽 🎤 ❤🥰
Movie Corner is top tier!
Beyoncé’s performance may not have been Oscar worthy but bayyybee she had them Diana mannerisms down! That little head/shoulder movement, arms stretched out in front. She studied.
"we both have the same BLOOD" yoooooo I did not peep what that meant. damnnnnn.
Curtis, CC, and Deena were the most villainous. I like Effie's version of One Night Only, too. I Meant You No Harm/Jimmy's rap is very catchy.

Yeah, it’s loosely based off of The Supremes so they were making the connection w/ The Wiz/Lady Sings the Blues role and Deena’s upcoming role.
Deanna telling Effie to watch her mouth- excuse f***ing you👊🏾 Effie we all got pain🎶😢 they did her dirty😒 fab review as always 🥰
Just watched this not long ago. Cried like it was the first time! Such a good movie! Love love the ending!
I always cry at the end with Magic, lol!
I remember standing IN LINE to see this on XMAS day! I would NEVER today. I won’t even go if too many seats taken up when I try and book online
Ashley great review. And yes Effie version One Night Only is my fav. And part 1 of No No No No is my favorite also😊
Effie was collateral damage, Curtis wanted a group to make his dreams come true but he couldn’t get the Dreamettes if Effie said no, so he got her and that’s how he got them

The way I was singing the background when Ashely was singing Cadillac Car KMSL!!! Another Great Review!!!!
In real life Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson both said that they was never offended by Diana going lead but when it became a problem is when their pay was getting played with and outside factors in Motown trying to break up their long term friendship they all had with each other and not them breaking up their friendship with each other from the inside is what happened to The Supremes.
Thanks for “Movie Corner”. This was a nice selection of movies 👍🏾
I'm sorry I like the unseasoned version of "Cadillac Car"!!! Lmao! 🤣🤣🤣
I sing this in jest often. Look at me mister, I’m a staaaaaR

Not me trying to encourage you to find the note for Listen 🤣🤣 knowing damn well this is pre-recorded! Love you Ashley! Great movie corner!
Ashley, you are literally my friend in my head 🤣🤣

One of my favorite movies!! I watch and sing every song whenever it comes on lol
Yep I rewatched this a couple months ago and said this could have easily been a premontion for Destiny's Child.
Ashley you are funty when you sing!!!! Mememememe. 😂😂😂
I love I do sung by Jennifer is actually my favorite song from the movie
It was a great movie. Jennifer Hudson stole it. She was excellent. It was break she needed
Ashley bursting out with I wan’na be like you!! I loved The Jungle Book 😂
I prefer Part I of “No No No” too! Great movie corner! 🎬
They robbed Eddie of Oscar. He was phenomenal as Jimmy! My favorite character in movie, then Jennifer. Beyoncé was only good in movie when she sung "Listen " IMO

Yesss!!!! Another fav of mine!
Just rewatch dream girls again on stream and I watch it make me cry how they did Eiffie one of my favorite movies
If you love Dreamgirls get into the history behind it. The real Motown. Hot mess express.
🎤 🎶 “Lorrell loves Jimmy” 🤣
Let’s not forget back then it wasn’t many if any dark complexion women who could act AND sing.
Yes I like when Eddie Murphy sings too.
All Beyonce roles are singing roles EXCEPT Obsessed. That’s why the singing roles are good because singing is first nature to her. “You touched my child” 😑🤭
Marina Abramovic is definitely a rabbit hole itself🤔. The truth IS stranger than fiction.
Please keep doing movie corner Ashley you keep me laughing!
My step mom had that soundtrack on REPEAT BEFORE THEY RELEASED THE MOVIE! And we went to see it at the Magic Johnson Theater 😂
I really enjoy your reviews, I love your energy. I’m about to rewatch this now lol
Yes Ashley! No No No pt. 1 has always been superior to me. It showcased their voices better.
I forgot about Cadillac Records. Also a good movie
I know all the songs word for word
“STAND THE FAWK UP”😂😂😂😂
Ashley let’s keep the black movie corners going. Carry the 1 and multiply by 5. Stretch out Black History Month ouuuut 🤭
Ashley, did you like Beyoncé in The Fighting Temptations???
My favorite movie 💕
Another great review Ashley
I looooove this movie! I know the review is gonna be good. She was great in Carmen and this I think like you said they are music based so she is in a comfort zone vs straight acting next to Idris lol
Justice for Effie and Jimmy. I felt bad for both of them because she didn’t deserve to be treated like that and Jimmy didn’t deserve to die like that. They both deserved so much more outside of Curtis. It felt like he destroyed both of their lives. He was a piece of trash messing with Effie and falling in love with Deena at the same time.
Whe I first saw you song was in my cousin wedding ❤❤
One of my faves . Thanks Ashley 💕💕💕
Deena needed that but whopped
DREAMGIRLS came out before Obsessed
Just looked it up it is dream girls then obsessed
Hey Ashley, will you do women of Brewster’s place. It was a good movie but not much talked about. Stars Oprah, cicely Tyson, Leon, robin givens and jackee harry, Lynn Whitfield and Lorenz Tate etc…
I was gonna say you should do Carmen a hip hop opera
Ashley can do a review on prison bride ❤ thank you
thank you for your movie uploads and I've enjoyed reminiscing theough your videos..
Maybe one day you can do
The Five Heartbeats
❤❤❤❤❤
I need a good laugh
I didn't know that about Beyonce's vocals being injured as a young child.
Whitney Houston had her injury as well with a peppermint stick as a young girl
And we heard how amazing she was
Review Blue hill ave or Sugar hill👀
Finalllllyyyyyy 😩😩😩
Lol Dreamgirls was definitely before Obsessed
lol you going in on the No No No part 2. You know they had to record it like that because they didn’t have much studio time to record it 😂😂
Justice for “No, No, No” Part 1! If Bey were to ever perform that again, I would liiiive. I barely listen to Part 2.
Ashley, can you do “Freeway” with Reese Witherspoon??
Review obsessed next I wanna laugh 😂
I like part 1 a whole lot better than part 2 of No, No, No.
They wanted Beyoncé to be nominated for Listen but they took her name off since they only nominated 3 song writers back then
"She ain't none but common"
Normani where the album at? 😂
Sparkle is a good movie both versions
49:06 right
Happy Women’s Month!
We agree 💯😂😂😂😂😅
I grew up as JW too. We could watch what we wanted to as long as it wasn’t about holidays or demonic. Which I never understood cus my mama never gave up her black holiday movies 🙄. But we couldn’t participate in shit
Y’all go watch the Nickelodeon documentary about thoes two adults that was doing wrong behind the scenes it was so terrible I feel bad for the families
Friend so fine 😩
i wouldve beat deena ssa
Eddie Murphy has an album out I think it’s reggae inspired. And a couple of songs. I think he plays the guitar too. A lot of people sleep on Eddie Murphy. Ray came out before dream girls. I love me some Jamie Foxx. I think Beyoncé was better Cadillac Records
😂😂😂
❤
Oooh
Effie version was better but i get they were in the disco era
