PRO REVIEWS

----------------------------------------
Houston's performance proves that this could have been the first step not merely in a comeback but in a major re-invention. She had the instincts of a superb character actress" (Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly)

----------------------------------------
"'Sparkle' isn't blindingly original but it delivers solid entertainment, and despite the clichés I was never for a moment bored (...) Rating: *** (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times)

----------------------------------------
"Whitney Houston deserved better than to go out onscreen with this botch job remake of a 1976 soap opera that never deserved another thought (...) Rating: * (out of four)" (Peter Travers: Rolling Stone)
