Dreamgirls

Detroit, the early 1960s. Curtis Taylor, Jr., a car salesman, breaks into the music business with big dreams. He signs a trio of young women, the Drea...mettes, gets them a job backing an R&B performer, James "Thunder" Early, establishes his own record label and starts wheeling and dealing. When Early flames out, Curtis makes the Dreamettes into headliners as the Dreams, but not before demoting their hefty big-voiced lead singer, Effie White, and putting the softer-voiced looker, Deena Jones, in front. Soon after, he fires Effie, sends her into a life of proud poverty, and takes Deena and the Dreams to the top. How long can Curtis stay there, and will Effie ever get her due? Show More

Details

Dreamgirls (2006) is set in 1960s Detroit and follows the story of Curtis Taylor, Jr., a car salesman with big dreams of breaking into the music business. He discovers a talented trio of young women called the Dreamettes and convinces them to become backup singers for the popular R&B performer, James Thunder Early. Curtis goes on to establish his own record label and becomes a shrewd businessman, using his skills to propel the Dreamettes, now known as the Dreams, to stardom.

However, as the Dreams rise to fame, Curtis replaces the lead singer, Effie White, with the more visually appealing Deena Jones. This decision leads to tension within the group as Effie is demoted and eventually fired, leading her to a life of struggling poverty. Meanwhile, Deena and the Dreams achieve success and become household names.

The movie explores Curtis' pursuit of fame and fortune, as well as the sacrifices and relationships that are fractured along the way. It raises questions about the cost of success and whether Effie will ever receive the recognition she deserves.

Dreamgirls showcases impressive musical performances with a captivating story that highlights the harsh realities and highs and lows of the music industry in the 1960s.
