Make sure you've read the commenting rules before doing so) I am glad to know that Dreamworks did actually apologize to Motown for the movie. Even though I enjoyed the movie I had the opportunity to see both the play and the movie and I must say I was really dissapointed to see how deliberate that the filmakers were in turning this wonderful stage play into a Motown movie. Don't get me wrong I am a huge fan of Motown and know many facts about the company and it was really evident that what they added to the movie was taken directly from Motown and gave everyone that impression what record company they were referring to without saying. By them apologizing also acknowledges the fact that they knew what they were doing when they made the movie. (Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)

This way no one can say they put up the apology to clear the air for the PURPOSE of swaying votes. They let the movie be voted as it was, with whatever perceptions the voters wished to hold. If they felt this movie damages the Motown rep, and choose to vote against it on that premise, they can. If the apology came before the vote, some may think it wasn't sincere, and that it was just a ploy for votes. I think posting the apology AFTER the voting makes it more sincere.
