Summary: Glitter's Alright, the DVD Isn't...
Review: Mariah Carey's flop-film, Glitter, wasn't released to DVD with a bang, but more of a whisper. Nonetheless, I bought it previously viewed from Blockbuster and was excited about the Director's Commentary. What in goodness's name could Vondie Curtis-Hall possibly say about one of America's Most Hated films?Nothing much, is the answer. During his full-lenth commentary, Curtis-Hall stutters, "umm"s, and fragments his sentences more than a third grader. It's unbelievable. The actual direction of Glitter was okay, but it's a good thing he didn't become an English teacher. He has little insight on making the film and I wonder if he was actually present or if he was just taking the credit for someone who didn't want to be associated with the project. The music video for Loverboy is great eye-candy (did you notice those pink shorts??) and the video for Never Too Far is a waste (considering it's the same sequence that's in the movie...why not just use chapter selections and get there?). The menus are nifty, as is the trailer. That horrendous "commentary" really kills the disc though.

Summary: does not deserve the critical bashing that it had
Review: GLITTER, which crashed and burned at the box-office last year, hardly deserved the often-scathing reviews that it "enjoyed". No doubt that this DVD release will be eagerly awaited by trash film fans who coin the phrase "so bad it's good". Mariah Carey plays Billie Frank, a young girl who is put in a state home after being taken from her unfit mother (Valarie Pettiford) when their house is set alight thanks to a stray lit ciggie. Soon, Billie and her two girlfriends decide to become pop stars, and Billie finds herself on the way to the top of the charts thanks to an upstart DJ called Dice (Max Beesley) who decides to produce for her. The plot unashamedly borrows elements from the perrenial "A Star Is Born" and even - would you fathom - "Singin' In The Rain", but nontheless is a fun ride, featuring Carey's hit singles "Loverboy" and "Never Too Far". The DVD includes director's commentary by Vondie Curtis-Hall, music videos, trailers and filmo/discographies.

Summary: Mariah Glitters!
Review: The movie got a bad rap, yes, but it didn't deserve it. I am not saying this movie is oscar material by any means but it is truly enjoyable and fun to watch. A good effort from a first time actress. I believe most of the flack for this film came from her breakdown and reviewers and society did not give it a chance. You can't blame her for being human. Take a chance this movie truly is good, see for yourself

Summary: Mariah Sparkles but the Movie is Terrible
Review: Mariah Carey is my favoraite artist of all time. Reason being she's my favoraite lyricist and up until recently my favoraite vocalist. When she said she was going to act I was very excited, when she said she was going to have a hand in the script i grew even more excited, when i saw the preview in theateres i was excited. When i saw the movie i was dissapointed. Mariah's not bad she shows expemplory raw talent on film but the Script is boring contrived and above all un original the only originality is the time setting which is the early 1980's. Mariah was done up to the max in every scene so it felt artificial. When i say that i'm not exagerrating one hair was never out of place. Look at the morning after scene with her, All of her hair falls on the pillow in a very uniform direction and shes in full make up with lip stick. It's horrible the soundtrack is good but the movie is horrible. But it was great to see MAriah with clothes on for a change i walked away with a lot more respect for her after the movie but i didn't honestly enjoy it

Summary: WOW... No Comparison
Review: If you take a film like "Double Impact" add it with "On Deadly Ground" and multiply it by "FireStorm" then divided by "Big Trouble in Little China", what'd you get???
GLITTER.
This film has got all that and a bag of chips. Whoever played Mariah Carey looked a lot like Ms. Carey herself. The music was splendid. Watching this film on my 5.1 system felt like I was in the middle of the dancing floor with Mariah herself. I've watched many films, and so far no good movies compared to this one. the only film that may match the popularity of this one is probably "Cool As Ice" starring Vanilla Ice.

Summary: "Glitter"
Review: I admit that I enjoyed the opportunity to see this movie with my friend, but that's only because we both love Mariah. I myself liked the movie, but I can understand why others might not like it. Really, it's more geared toward Mariah Carey's fans. You might like it even if you're not a fan, but I think the fans are the ones who will get the most enjoyment out of it. The movie has lots of music sung by Mariah. To me, it appeared to be more like a big music video than a regular movie....but like I said, I am a Mariah fan, so I liked it.

Summary: Not bad-But not for the big screen.
Review: Since Glitter didn't seem to be anywhere at the local theaters in my area, I can understand why Glitter was considered a box office failure. Honestly, the film was jaded from the beginning. It never really had a chance. I personally had bought the CD that accompanied this video and the CD is probably her best since "Butterfly", but this review is about "Glitter" the movie right? As a fan, its not hard for me to watch Glitter, but I do want to be objective as well. I feel that Glitter wasn't a bad movie. I have defintely seen far worse. I believe this movie was more suited for television or maybe a cable spot, but not big screen theater. The plot of course was somewhat predictable to a certain degree. It just didn't seem made for big screen theater. What people fail to realize is all that Ms. Carey did to get this project off the ground. She did more than just show up and act in this movie. From what I understand she was very instrumental in many aspects of production or direction etc. And I believe that for someone's first big screen movie, for her to have so much input, that is pretty good. Mariah's acting isn't bad either. The acting isn't the problem in this movie, perhaps the subject matter is a little predictable. Due to sooo much publicity things got overblown and the fact that it was Mariah didn't help. Do I recommend renting this movie. Definitely!!!!! Because on TV is where I think best suits a movie of this sort. Its not bad, but not made for the big screen.

Summary: This film made me cry....for several times!
Review: I'm very sad because the criticism can't tell us the truth...How could they say this movie is bad?It's unfair!
Mariah shows true emotion in this film and it made me cry for several times!
If you don't like this film,that means you have no heart to love and to be love...that's all I can say.

Summary: Really bad cinema
Review: All of the rumors and terrible reviews that you have heard about "Glitter" are unfortunately true. The rise of young singer Billie Frank (closely resembling Carey's own life) is dull, lifeless and dreadfully boring. The only time the film garners any speed is when some fancy camera work shows dazzling displays of New York. As for Mariah Carey, I have seen worse actors, but her performance is, for the most part, vapid and colorless. And she should slap her hairdresser and makeup artists. She wears her hair in a ridiculous one-sided ponytail that looks hilarious and when she is made up, she looks like Kathi Lee Gifford. Equally bad is Max Beeseley as Carey's manager who tries to act hip and ethnic. Horrors! There are numerous scenes that are dumb beyond belief but the winner has to be when Carey and Beesely, seperated and obviously psychic, compose the same ballad for each other!
