It was definitely adapted from a stage musical. The "first act" a little choppy with transitions, etc. But Jennifer Hudson was phenomenal! I was very moved by her voice. Costumes were fun too. I couldn't take Eddie Murphy seriously, he made me giggle when I wasn't supposed to. The movie was nice, but her performance made it so. Thanks for joining us GC
