Glitter

In music she found her dream, her love, herself.

Billie Frank is a talented young singer struggling to make it big in New York City. With plenty of will and determination, a voice like an angel, and the help of a handsome nightclub DJ, she will quickly learn that the roller coaster ride to success is as treacherous as it is glamorous.

Grammy Award winner Mariah Carey stars in this powerful and unforgettable story about an incredibly gifted young singer who finds that the road to her dreams leads straight to her heart. Also starring Max Beesley and Ann Magnuson, and featuring sensational performances from music superstars Eric Benet and Da Brat.

Glitter - AppsScraps

All that glitters is not gold sums up this film pretty succinctly. Patently formulistic, it is little more than a vehicle for Mariah Carey to play, well, herself. Big stretch, I know. The script is a chorus of cliches that sees Billie Frank (Carey) head to an orphanage after her smoking mother (Valarie Pettiford) very nearly burns the house down; sees Billie identified as a singer with potential by Dice (Max Beesley), a New York City DJ with cache; sees Billie fall in love with Dice and sacrifice career for her friends; sees Billie ... well, you get the gist. Directed by Vondie Curtis-Hall, who clearly needs to head back to directing school, Glitter is a brutal, brittle film, albeit with good singing by Mariah.

My rating 3 out of 10.

so bad it goes past good and comes back to bad again - clauditorium

I rented Glitter because I'd read it was destined to become a 'so bad it's good' classic, but I was disappointed. This is no Showgirls. What makes Glitter a bad movie is that it's a bland, soulless procession of clichés, exactly like Mariah Carey's songs. And that just makes it boring-bad instead of spectacularly bad. And though Mariah is plenty vacuous in the starring role, she doesn't reach the heights of strenuously bad acting that Elizabeth Berkeley does in Showgirls. The only element of this movie that satisfies my so-bad-it's-good criteria is the character of Mariah's boyfriend. Here you have the whitest man on Earth, saying 'hip' things like "I'm a'ight" and "when you got no food in yo crib". If only the movie had contained more cringe-worthy gems like those!

A real stinker... - GK1-

Overly sentimental, over-acted and an offensive waste of time. What's more, I can't ever remember being annoyed by cityscape shots of Manhattan...it's almost as if the city was being 'used' against its will as a backdrop for this dud. Between Glitter and Gigli, it's really quite a toss-up. I couldn't get it back in the mail fast enough.
