It's "Fargo" meets "The Music Man" (without the blood or the trombones)

The extraordinary odyssey of a confused young man, led by wacky doctors through a labyrinth of wildly theatricalized versions of major life crises and temptations-wealth, sensuality, power, romance, lost innocence, and death. Presided over by the enigmatic Dr. Selavy , himself an illusion created by master trickster Marcel Duchamp, this outrageous journey leads our hero in an ironic dance through an eccentric fun house of extravagant awakenings to a climax of self-knowledge and acceptance.

Dreamgirls is the story of the conventional American Dream of Making it Big in Show Business. But with, of course, unconventional complications.
