Sparkle (2012)
QuickRating: The singing is, of course, phenomenal, and all the performances from Jordin Sparks, Carmen Ejogo, Tika Sumpter, and last but not least, Whitney Houston, are solid and beyond convincing, but "Sparkle" is formulaic, cliched, and predictable from beginning to the end, plus, compared to similar musicals such as "Dreamgirls", it's rather forgettable, despite Salim Akil's reasonably solid direction and the retro-ish visuals that capture perfectly the 60s Motown era.
