This is the second most embarrassing thing to happen to Whitney Houston this year.
October 15, 2012
it is impossible not to think of the singers real life rise and fall. Whitney Houston's face does not disguise the descent. You can see the tracks of her tears. She looks a lot older than her 48 years.

Whitney Houston's vibrant, final performance adds poignancy to this likeable, breezy remake of a familiar tale.
June 30, 2016
With Whitney Houston gone, the baton passing becomes more than metaphorical. If you enjoy power-drama, 1960s girl-group nostalgia, and virtuoso pop singing-this is your movie.
June 30, 2013
Wallowing in melodrama, the film's sole highlight is Whitney Houston's supporting turn in it.

"Sparkle" isn't blindingly original but it delivers solid entertainment, and despite the clichés I was never for a moment bored.

"Sparkle" has its bright spots - mostly in the middle of the film - and Epps and Ojogo shine.
August 30, 2012
Sparkle shamelessly piles on the clichés, but it's an entertaining ride throughout.
August 17, 2012
Anyone who has seen Dream Girls, What's Love Got To Do With It? or even The Doors will find themselves in familiar (if inferior) territory here ...

It's nice that "Sparkle" honors the memory of Motown's heyday; if only it could have lived up to those standards.
August 19, 2012
Sparkle is an assembly of parts and pieces from other, better movies - an overly familiar jumble of clichés mashed together.
August 27, 2012
Noteworthy only for featuring Whitney Houston's last screen appearance.
