Howard Rosenman (story) Sparkle first started singing in her family's gospel music group.
Mara Brock Akil (screenplay), I have to say that I liked this version of Sparkle better than the original and I am definitely glad that they changed the story up a bit. With this being her film debut, I am sure that we will be seeing a lot more of Jordan on screen. I have to admit that my main reason for going to see this film was because I wanted to see Whitney Houston in her swan song performance. Sparkle is a timeless story of the bonds of family, the trials of success and the power of music. This film is very predictable, but I did not care. ""What would you risk for five minutes of pure power?" Whoever did his make-up did a darn good job. By the way, there was a women sitting in my row that was singing along with all the songs that she remembered (I was cracking up). Satin Struthers is the main antagonist in the 1976 film Sparkle, and the 2012 version of the same name. Directed by Salim Akil. Look back at the leading ladies who dominated entertainment in the 1980s, making their mark with iconic movie and TV roles (and some major hairstyles, too). Keep your child engrossed while you get things done — knowing they’re engaging their minds and having fun. Whitney (Emma) did an outstanding job in this film and I have to admit that when she sang I got a little (okay, a lot) choked up. Jordin Sparks as Sparkle. She is the "grounded" sister of the bunch and demonstrates that by having clear goals set and a strong sense of self.
When compared to the original, “Sparkle” (2012) benefits from a higher production budget, marquee names, and a more fluid telling.
Not just because she was singing but because I realized how much I missed her. Derek Luke (Stix) is the group's manager and Sparkle's love interest who is just trying to do the right thing.
Omari Hardwick as Levi. In the 1960s, three sisters form a girl group and soon become local sensations with major label interest, but fame becomes a challenge as the close-knit family begins to fall apart.
In 1968, girl groups and the Motown sound are sweeping the nation. Tika Sumpter (Dolores) has come a long way since her days on the television soap One Life to Live. Jordan Sparks (Sparkle) was made for this role.
Cee Lo Green as Black. If you’re familiar with the original version, you already know most of the plot and the characters. Carmen Ejogo as Sister. For an enhanced browsing experience, get the IMDb app on your smartphone or tablet.
Sparkle's début album, the self-titled Sparkle, was released on May 19, 1998. This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
Fans Will Not Be Happy About This Male R&B Singer Calling Out Beyoncé, SZA And Cardi B Go beyond the story. There were times that the group was singing without mikes and the half-naked dress would have never been acceptable during that time (I don't think).
The neighborhood has changed, and Sister (spoiler alert) doesn’t die, but it’s basically the same story. At the same time, Sparks' acting career began to take off, and she joined the star-studded cast of Sparkle in the title role. Bryce) hit the screen, I was looking at him and I knew that I had seen him on screen before, but I just could not place him. Both were captivating and although you knew from the start where this relationship was heading, it did not matter because you wanted to see it play out.
I think that the cast that was assembled for this film did an excellent job. No, but I do think that Director Salim Akil did a good enough job to warrant the price of a ticket.
