Review of Sparkle (2012) by Ching T — 19 Aug 2012
Sigh....cliche, boring, unoriginal, cookie cutter script with musical numbers that never soared a la Jennifer Hudson's Oscar winning emotional performance. C'mon, we know Jordan Sparks was an Idol winner so the girl can sannng, but none of her charisma, power or talent was allowed to shine through.
None of the songs or performances soared to make you believe this was a knock out star that deserved her chance at stardom much less in the spotlight. As much as I loved Whitney and have always rooted for her return, her one solo performance was painful to watch.
That beautiful voice is no more. Preacher's Wife was indeed, a long time ago. Carmen Ejogo, though, is absolutely gorgeous. I think I have a girl crush and I want to know what color of lipstick this girl was wearing throughout the movie.
Her makeup was always flawless!
