Musical extravaganza Dreamgirls is generating the sort of buzz most producers would chew their own earlobes off for. The film doesn’t even arrive in our cinemas until next February (it’ll hit US screens in December), but it’s already being whispered about as a Chicago-style Oscar-nabber.

Having been invited to watch one of the big numbers being lensed, Total Film can attest that it certainly looks impressive. And test screenings across the States have been generating rave early reviews.
