Sparkle | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Sparkle is watchable because the music by Curtis Mayfield is very good, and the ladies, even though they don't have much, at least nostalgically evoke the grace, style, and power that The Supremes had in the past decade. [Full review in Spanish]

Has all the shine of a badly cut rhinestone.

[An] uneasy marriage of cliched melodrama and music in an odd March of Time technique.

It's a rags-to-riches story that doesn't miss a stop along the well-trod ghetto-to-musical-charts path, but makes its journey with tuneful conviction.
