Sparkle is a timeless story of the bonds of family, the trials of success, and the power of music. Set in Detroit in 1968, the film follows three sisters - Sparkle, Delores, and Tammy - as they form a music group and rise to fame. With their mother Emma, a strict born-again church lady, disapproving of their singing outside of church, the girls face obstacles both within and outside of their family. As they gain popularity and perform at clubs throughout Detroit, they encounter the darker side of success, including jealousy, self-doubt, and temptation. The film features an all-star cast, including Jordin Sparks as Sparkle, Whitney Houston as Emma, Derek Luke as Stix, Carmen Ejogo as Tammy, Tika Sumpter as Delores, and Mike Epps as Satin Struthers. With a gripping plot and soul-stirring music, Sparkle is a must-see for anyone who loves drama, romance, and music.
