Summary: you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cheer!
Review: If it weren't for "Moulin Rouge," this movie could be the greatest musical of all time. I think people have it all wrong when it comes to "Glitter." It's a fantastic movie and a gritty drama about a biracial singer who climbs to the top. Mariah isn't as good an actress as Nicole Kidman, but she's getting there. It also has Eric Benet, who used to be married to Halle Berry who is the world's most talented actress. Don't listen to the dumb haters who trash this movie. They're a bunch of snot-nosed 15 year olds who never even watched the DVD but spend all hours listening to Limp Bizkit (yuck). Anyhow, this movie is a masterpiece. Trust me on this.

Summary: Ouch!
Review: First, I need to justify the reason why I rented this film: I simply wanted to have a good laugh, because I knew it had won a lot of Golden Raspberries, and there's Mariah Carey in it, so it had to be really awful. Awful it was. We follow the very ordinary and pathetic path of a young woman who suddenly becomes a superstar. Wow! How original! I heard that even though Mariah is playing a fictional character, the story is inspired by Mariah's career. I guess she just added some semi-dramatic (as we are trying not to laugh when something bad happens to her) elements in the story to make it an even bigger cliche collection. There are no SO ridiculous or absurd parts in this film, because it stays very simple (and I don't think anyone from this film has the IQ to go for something more complex), but it really simply sucks. There are many scenes where the director clumsily put occasions for Mariah to show her supposedly amazing voice. I guess that gave Mariah a reason to release a new album and make more money (and also get fired from her label HA HA!). When you get to the rolling credits, you just can't understand how the film could last one hour and forty minutes and leave you with the impression that you slept for one hour and forty minutes, even if you didn't. This film is empty. Period. With some awful acting from Mariah Carey, who should first: stop acting and second: stop singing, you are left with the impossible belief that they took her as the lead actress. She never sounds natural, she will get on your nerves with her shallow acting when she tries to demonstrate feelings other than simply smiling like an idiot like she does all the time on MTV. I know that may sound very mean, but it really leaves you that impression, especially if you don't really like pop music/movies. As an actress, she has no charisma, physically (I really don't think this woman is attractive at all) and she simply doesn't have a believable enough psychological aspect in her character to mention it. She is not the only bad actress in Glitter, there's also the boyfriend. He's not EXTREMELY bad, but noticeably. The mother is also pretty awful, and the black guy that is some kind of "gangster" is one of the worst. The directing is conventional, it has nothing special, nothing good, nothing bad, except for the fact that it gives a product entitled "Glitter". That's all I had to say for the directing. Overall, "Glitter" is, without being the worst thing I've seen in my life, a very pathetic piece of cinema and a very meaningful failure for Mariah Carey. Shallow, narcissistic, cliche, stupidly dramatic, badly acted, with average directing, "Glitter" is, in the purest meaning of the word, a WASTE of time. It didn't glitter that much on the Box-Office, didn't it Mariah? I give it 1/10.

Summary: Glitter was Glittering.
Review: I am not quite sure why Glitter got such an awful rap. The movie is all in all, not that bad. Mariah did an excellent job at portraying a harrowing tale of rags to riches. While some parts of the plot are skimped upon, much of the movie is exciting, and fun to watch. Glitter documents Billie Frank's (Mariah) rise to fame over the course of 5 months during 1983. She hits it big, while still remaining true to herself in the end. Her love with her manager has its highs and its lows, all of which were shown with great precision. Da Brat is great, as Mariah's long time friend, Louise. Glitter was a fabulous movie, that shows how such a talented person can overcome many obstacles and rise to a glittering fame. This movie made me wish it was 20 years ago and I was dancing the night a way at a post-disco NYC Club. I will admit, that Mariah does not deserve an oscar, but what she dose deserves is a congradulations on a job well done. Glitter was no where near as bad as the critics made it out to be, and I highly recomend this movie!

Summary: THIS MOVIE IS SO BAD I LOVE IT!
Review: Yeah! that's right, this movie sux that much that I LOve it!, it makes me laugh so much I have to go to the bathroom!, Mariah's acting is so fake that you can't take it! Billie haha, Da Brat looks so oddly fat and like she needs a psycho? and get some dancing lessons please!, the other friend and unknown actress that looks wacko too, but! wait! watch the start of the movie, where Mariah is dancing to "Heart Of Glass" that's a classic take, it makes the whole movie worth it. This movie should be nominated as the best not intended comedic movie. Way to Go Mariah!

Summary: Why didn't I listen to the critics?
Review: Why? They said it loud and clear: This movie is BAD! Did I listen to them? No. What a bad idea. It is one of the most boring movies I have ever seen. I didn't like it at all. Sure, I like Mariah Carey and she is beautiful and she can sing, but let's face it... she can't act. And if the script is bad and the directing is bad, and if the editing is bad, and if the rest of the cast if bad, then you have a really bad, bad, bad movie. Buy her music, but please, don't buy this movie.

Summary: The TRUE crime...
Review: is that so many classic silent and early films are lost forever, but this piece of garbage will still be around 100 years from now. If a few words: as far as the plot goes, look up "cliche" or "trite" in the dictionary; it'll be there; it's just the old kid-from-bad-background-makes-good yet again, for about the 400th time. As far as the acting goes, WHAT acting? It's Mariah trying to upstage everyone else while sleepwalking through her lines. Save your time and money. And I have to say something about the reviewer who offered s short list of singers who have become "successful" actors -- Cher and a few others I'll grant ya. But Aaliyah and Diana Ross? PLEASE. Be realistic. Aaliyah couldn't act, period, and Diana's still chewing pieces of the scenery from Lady Sings the Blues (which, incientally was a horrible insult to the memory of Billie Holiday).
