Coming up on Television

Dreamgirls
Showered with Oscar nominations and winner of the best musical Golden Globe, this backstage drama from Chicago screenwriter Bill Condon fulfils glamour and glitz expectations in spades. Jennifer Hudson excels as the lead singer of 1960s backing group the Dreamettes, who is sidelined by their new manager, Jamie Foxx, when he decides to promote Beyoncé Knowles to head up the trio. Plot sound familiar? It is, of course, the thinly disguised story of the rise to fame and fortune of Motown supergroup Diana Ross and the Supremes, with Beyoncé as "Deena Jones", the statuesquely striking backing singer who catches Foxx's eye, and American Idol contestant Hudson, a deserved winner of both the Oscar and Golden Globe for best supporting actress, as the rejected and dejected Effie White (think Florence Ballard). Although uplifting and moving by turns, the tale - based on the hit Broadway musical - too closely follows its real-life equivalent to make any sense as fiction. And, for fans of the Supremes, the admittedly rousing score is simply a frustration and even slows the action in places. However, keeping pace with Hudson, Eddie Murphy (another Golden Globe winner) is a revelation as a James Brown-style showman, revealing a dramatic depth and maturity previously only hinted at.(Starring:Curtis Taylor Jr*Jamie Foxx|Deena Jones*Beyoncé Knowles|James "Thunder" Early*Eddie Murphy|Effie White*Jennifer Hudson|CC White*Keith Robinson|Wayne*Hinton Battle|Michelle Morris*Sharon Leal|Lorrell Robinson*Anika Noni Rose|Marty Madison*Danny Glover|Jerry Harris*John Lithgow)

The Nutty Professor
This reworking of the 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy saw Eddie Murphy back on form as Sherman Klump, a sweet-natured, obese science teacher who perfects a potion that turns him into a svelte, sexy love machine. Of course, the potion wears off at the most unfortunate times, making his attempts at romance with attractive teaching assistant Jada Pinkett a bit of a lottery. Murphy plays the professor to poignant perfection; thanks to the genius of the Oscar-winning make-up and the computer graphics department, he also portrays three generations of his family at the same dinner table. Snappily directed by Tom Shadyac, this isn't quite as daft as the mad original, but it is a thoroughly enjoyable and well-played laughfest.

Nutty Professor 2: the Klumps
In this amusing sequel to Eddie Murphy's 1996 success (itself a remake of the 1963 Jerry Lewis comedy), Murphy gets to play rotund scientist Sherman Klump and his entire corpulent family (bar one, his little brother), including his father at two different ages. His performance is an amazing tour de force, which could be compared to the best work of Alec Guinness and Peter Sellers if it weren't for the fact that half the time he's unintelligible. The basis of the new story is an amusing variation on The Fly: Klump is desperate to rid himself of his slim, supercool alter ego, Buddy Love, but only manages to regenerate (and mutate) him. Janet Jackson is sweetly effective, playing it straight as Klump's long-suffering girlfriend, while the writers also manage to include the Fountain of Youth and a giant, sex-mad hamster in the mix. This, and a lot of scatological humour, forms the very silly premise, yet children (and adults with an extremely juvenile sense of fun) will adore it.(Starring:Professor Sherman Klump / Cletus "Papa" Klump / Young Cletus Klump / Anna "Mama" Klump / Ernie Klump / Grandma Klump / Buddy Love / Lance Perkins*Eddie Murphy|Professor Denise Gaines*Janet Jackson|Dean Richmond*Larry Miller|Jason*John Ales|Denise's father*Richard Gant|Denise's mother*Anna Maria Horsford|Leanne Guilford*Melinda McGraw|Ernie Klump Jr*Jamal Mixon|Claudine*Freda Payne)

  Shrek Forever After - Trailer
After challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws’ kingdom, what’s an ogre to do? Well, if you’re Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. What’s happened to this ogre’s roar? Longing for the days when he felt like a “real ogre,” Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumpelstiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met. Now, it’s up to Shrek to undo all he’s done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love.
