Critic Reviews for Sparkle
All Critics (10) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (9) | DVD (3)
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.
Hackneyed, ho-hum 1976 feature about a black girl group, clearly modeled on the Supremes.
Has all the shine of a badly cut rhinestone.
[An] uneasy marriage of cliched melodrama and music in an odd March of Time technique.
Drab as it is, Sparkle's worth renting for Lorette McKee's performance and the cast renditions of Mayfield's songs. But if you're going to buy anything it should be the soundtrack album.
Good performances from the principals and a score by Curtis Mayfield nearly raise this film to a more distinguished level.
Audience Reviews for Sparkle
Had its ups and downs but the music is just great. Loved Mary Alice as Effie.
