Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Hackneyed, ho-hum 1976 feature about a black girl group, clearly modeled on the Supremes.
Rotten: Drab as it is, Sparkle's worth renting for Lorette McKee's performance and the cast renditions of Mayfield's songs. But if you're going to buy anything it should be the soundtrack album.
