It seems like every holiday season, Beyoncé stars in a movie based on the music industry. But this is no Dreamgirls, and in Cadillac Records
Knowles fails to capitalize on the acting momentum built up during her
last foray on the big screen. While possessing many powerful moments, Cadillac Records
lacks the basic cohesiveness that can make an average film good and a
good film great. Some may love this film, while others may cry. But
this writer felt let down by the way this film missed the mark —
as Maxwell Smart would say, by this much. –dewayne rogers
