I love Jennifer Hudson and she can do no wrong. She gave it her all and embodied the late, great Aretha Franklin. At times, I actually thought I heard Ms. Franklin when Jennifer delivered her lines. Ms. Hudson's performance is a solid 5 stars, but I wanted the movie to continue on up to President Obama's Innauguration. I really wanted her to sing "Pink Cadillac" which was one of my favorite songs from the 80's. All in all, it really was an excellent movie and deserves many awards at next year's Oscars......including BEST ACTRESS.
