Rating: 1.5/5 -- It's a lousy movie, the kind where camp does not manage to equal fun. Full Review

Rating: 2/4 -- Good performances from the principals and a score by Curtis Mayfield nearly raise this film to a more distinguished level. Full Review

[An] uneasy marriage of cliched melodrama and music in an odd March of Time technique. Full Review

Hackneyed, ho-hum 1976 feature about a black girl group, clearly modeled on the Supremes. Full Review

Has all the shine of a badly cut rhinestone. Full Review

Rating: B- -- 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.

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. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

Three soulful sisters rise out of Harlem to become music's hottest singing group in this rags-to-riches tale of glitz, glamour and the high price of fame. Against the vibrant grooves of Curtis Mayfield, these divas explode onto the scene with off-the-hook harmonies and a sexy style, catapulting them to superstardom – but not every fairy tale has a happy ending. When success leads to excess, one sister's star will fade, while another's will sparkle.
