Whitney Houston's last film. That alone is enough to want to see it over and over. She constantly reminds us of the tragic person she became, and of the smart, engaging entertainment persona she once was.
But that is not all. The soundtrack is fantastic" Houston is joined by some really really great singers: Sly and the Family Stone, Sarah Vaughan, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, Aretha Franklin, Jordin Sparks, and many more. The best soundtrack I have heard in ages.
In many ways Sparkle disappoints. The editing is haphazard, the cinematography too dark, and there are holes in the story. But, oh, the music! And it is Houston's last film.
