Movie Reviews of Sparkle

Movie Review: SUCH A GREAT MOVIE!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I thought this was going to be one of those boring movies where the characters would break out in a song for no reason at all, but this was beyond perfect. If you haven't seen it, you're seriously missing out on one of the greatest movies done.

Movie Review: Excellent B movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

Aspirations of success can either break you down or make you believer. This movie still holds true 30+ years later.

All powerful & artistic thespians who played there part accordingly. Regardless of race,nationality, age & gender, this is a must see flick.

Yes, I strongly recommend!

Movie Review: WORST MOVIE STICK WITH DREAMGIRLS!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars

I just bought this movie and was excited to see it, and by the time it ended (which was very abruptly) I was mad and highly dissapointed. I couldn't believe how God-awful this movie was. I'm thinking that it's about "Sister" who is the lead singer and it's not, I found out that "Sparkle" isn't the group's name, but it's one of the singer's name, not only that but they hardly showed the character "Sparkle" until after her sister died, and after that you get maybe 30 minutes of her before the movie ends. It's terrible. They only showed some of her fame which was maybe 10-15 minutes long. If you LOVE high energy classy, sassy, sex appeal, glitz and glam of show business stick with Dreamgirls, if you love drama and backstabbing manager of show business stick with Dreamgirls, if you love beautiful voices, stick with Dreamgirls, if you want to waste time and think you have it bad, watch "Sparkle."

Movie Review: Sparkle
Summary: 5 Stars

This DVD arrived in a timely fashion and I will enjoy having it in my collection of DVD's.

Movie Review: Sparkle is still all that
Summary: 5 Stars

I rented Sparkle back in the early 90s on videotape and immediately fell in love with the story and the music, if not the quality of the video. It didn't matter, though. I had to have a copy of this movie! I ended up with my own video of Sparkle, which I lent to a friend, and never saw it again.

Was I glad to see this DVD version! I wish the producers would have taken the time to clean up the video quality, if they could have, and made the sound better, done some special features. . .

but again, Sparkle, the story overcomes all the technical difficulties. It's almost like a home movie that captures a miracle in a remote corner of the room.

Curtis Mayfield's genius is on full display in this one. It has just enough music for a music lover, just enough action for an action lover. It is that perfect balance for my husband and me.

And even in that poor video quality, the beauty of the three main characters in particular just shines through. It is a rare movie that shows such diversity of black beauty.

It is hard to believe that this is Lonnette McKee's first movie--she shines so brightly throughout, and the earnestness and innocence of Irene Cara just pulls you in.

This DVD is a must have.
