Sparkle Anderson is a
talented singer and songwriter. but she lacks confidence, so she hangs on as a
second fiddle in a Motown girl group with her two sisters, in defiance of their
overprotecting mother, a failed singer in her own right.
This Supremes-inspired story is a remake of the 1976 original. A nice update was done to the story, which gave it a fresher feel, in spite of the fact that the events are set in the 60’s. While the 60’s aura was still there, the tale being told felt more realistic. Unfortunately, the acting often did not come off the screen like in the original.
This was Whitney Houston’s last film performance before her untimely death.
