If I had only one musical moment to include here, it would have to be Jennifer Hudson's performance of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going." It should have ended the movie. Everything else after that was anticlimactic.

Stacy Keach's horrible moment of epiphany as he surveys the denizens of a coffee joint.
