Respect
Wow! I had an opportunity to screen the new Jennifer Hudson film, ‘Respect’, this evening and it was just as good as I expected! Note I said good, not great. Ms. Hudson does a wonderful job in her portrayal of the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, and some of the other actors are knockouts as well. But the star of the show is the music itself and there is plenty of it. There were a few moments that did not play out well for me plus the film came in right at 2 1/2 hours and some editing definitely could have been done as some scenes were dragged a little longer than needed. But still, overall, it was very good, especially the last hour or so of the film, and I got choked up on more than one occasion. This is one I definitely recommend.
