Review of Sparkle (2012) by Tawanieka G — 16 Aug 2012
A rags to riches story about the Williams sisters journey to one day escape middle class late 60s Detroit. With strong performances by Carmen Ejogo and the late Whitney Houston, the title Sparkle carried by newcomer Jordin Sparks is noteworthy In her debut! Mike Epps gave a chilling performance as Satin! His performance along with Whitney and Carmen will sure to be talked about days after seeing this film.
Although this was a remake from the 1976 original, 2012 Sparkle succeeds with new concepts to each character w/o messing up the integrity of the its original storyline which I'm sure all the fans can appreciate! In loving memory of Whitney Houston.
