Sparkle is an assembly of parts and pieces from other, better movies - an overly familiar jumble of clichés mashed together.

Whitney Houston's vibrant, final performance adds poignancy to this likeable, breezy remake of a familiar tale.

With Whitney Houston gone, the baton passing becomes more than metaphorical. If you enjoy power-drama, 1960s girl-group nostalgia, and virtuoso pop singing-this is your movie.

Noteworthy only for featuring Whitney Houston's last screen appearance.

Wallowing in melodrama, the film's sole highlight is Whitney Houston's supporting turn in it.

It's nice that "Sparkle" honors the memory of Motown's heyday; if only it could have lived up to those standards.

"Sparkle" isn't blindingly original but it delivers solid entertainment, and despite the clichés I was never for a moment bored.

it is impossible not to think of the singers real life rise and fall. Whitney Houston's face does not disguise the descent. You can see the tracks of her tears. She looks a lot older than her 48 years.

"Sparkle" has its bright spots - mostly in the middle of the film - and Epps and Ojogo shine.

Sparkle shamelessly piles on the clichés, but it's an entertaining ride throughout.
