The Movie Sparkle on the Peoria.com Forums

Anyone going to see it ? I think I will.

I saw it earlier today. Have you seen the original "Sparkle"?

@ginaknows:

No I have not seen the original Sparkle ( 1976).

How was the current one ?

I have mixed feelings about the new Sparkle. I think it is because I am biased because I've seen the 1976 version. The writers/directors tried to keep elements of the 1976 Sparkle and add new parts but at times I didn't feel the two mixed well. I will say that Whitney Houston had a great performance and it was interesting to see comedian Mike Epps in a serious/dramatic role.

I would give it 3 out of 5 stars.

@MSGem - did you go see it? What did you think??? I'm debating about going to see it. . .

@PaulaB:

Not yet, still hope to make it.
