Add a CommentJust saw the remake and it just doesn't do it. I remember seeing the original in the theatre when it came out and it was a great film, good music and had the passion and spirit. I remember how moved I was and what an impression that it made on me. Unfortunately, the remake doesn't do any of that. I found myself looking at the clock and wondering how much longer it was going to be.
This movie is a classic. I saw it when I was a high school senior and had no idea the impact it would have on audiences. The remake is entertaining, but the original takes me back to a time when life was so different. I'm looking forward to watching the original with my 18-year-old.
We have always love this movie. From the time that I saw it as a teenager in the movie theatre. If you are not from around the way, back in the day. You will probably not be very interested in this version of Sparkle.
It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. "I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.”
