I was excited to see this film, I had enjoyed the original & WANTED TO SEE WHITNEY! I knew when the film was bumped up to shw in August instead of original date, something would be missing...I wish a Montage of WHitney could have been shown during the closing credits..or outtakes of the movie.Whitney did a very good job in the film..Jordin Sparks is beautiful & a wonderful singer, there no scenes of them singing together though they are on the soundtrack.
The story is not as gritty as the original,this version is a little preachy which is reallized when the credits rolled, T.D Jakes is involved. I t was not clear of what happened to "Emma" when she tried "show business" Why was "Sister" so angry with her when, clearly a beautiful home was provided for the family and "Emma' had her own business...Did Emma fall into drugs or alcohol? She at least pulled it together enough to provide for her children. Why was she passed out on the couch as the girls snuck out and sang at night clubs..for months?
They should've watched the scene from "what's love gotta do with it" do learn how to direct and film a domestic violence scene..Larry Fishburne was excellent..this one was choppy and looked amaturely done.
How did "Sparkle" fil up a venue & afford an orchestra and all...for an unknown singer?
Okay, I will still reccomend the music is good, Whitney, and it has good intentions...just need a little tightening up.
Pros good music
Cons not enough whitney, better editing
Yes, I recommend this movie.

We were looking for a movie that my mom and we would enjoy, and Sparkle fit the bill. Whereas the story is familiar and dialogue is OK, it held our interest. We especially enjoyed the musical numbers.
Pros well paced, great actors
Cons very predictable
Yes, I recommend this movie.

I think it has wonderful meaning behind it it let's you know follow your dream don't let anyone let you down and say you can't do it. Spakle found her passion and she went with it even though her mother wasn't to fine of it but I think it was a GREAT MOVIE!!!!!! :)
Pros well paced, great story, great actors, good music

My wife and I attended and we cried and laughed with a since of great 'joy'. Of course we were touched each time Whitney appeared on screen. We were impressed with Jordan's acting skills, we all knew she could sing. The movie left some stories undeveloped, but that's good. keep the interest and lets the viewer dream about what may develop. I truly enjoyed the film and would highly recommend it to everyone.
Pros great actors
Yes, I recommend this movie.
