I’ve always love watching comedians play dramatic roles. It never ceases to amaze me how believable they are.
It’s not surprising how well comedians do in dramatic roles. Part of the comedy is really selling the ridiculous situations they’re in.
I love dramatic roles! These comedians are amazing in them!
I have actually seen all three of these movies! I think Lost in Translation is my favorite.
What may sound weird is that I haven’t seen any on this list. Gosh, I should probably check them out.
Some of these I have not seen in quite awhile. Time for a rewatch!
I haven’t seen any of these, and they all look GREAT!
I have not seen these movies, but I appreciate the clips.
I like some laughter and look forward to checking them out.
Dreamgirls was definitely my favorite from the list, but Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was pretty good too!
We don’t watch a lot of regular programming on television but do like to watch DVD’s of our favorites over and over and over. Some of them never get old.
I’ve actually never seen any of these! I keep meaning to, though.
I have not seen Dreamgirls yet! I don’t know how I missed that one and need to stream it soon!
I have seen Dream Girls and I am so in awe with the stars and heir singing prowess. Big props to Jennifer Hudson in that movie!
I’ve seen “Dreamgirls” – if anyone hasn’t seen the movie, my advice is to rent it, buy it – it is VERY entertaining!
