Spanning the '60s and '70s, Dreamgirls is about the pop-cultural battle of glamour vs. soul: of Deena (Beyonc� Knowles), the pretty singer, vs. Effie (Jennifer Hudson), a vocal volcano but a bit plump. Curtis (Jamie Foxx), their manager, banking on Deena's smooth sound and looks to peddle the Dreams to white audiences, will do anything to make the sale.
