Whitney Houston gives her final film performance in an inspirational Motown-era drama about fame and family. Sparkle (Jordin Sparks) is an innocent, prodigiously talented 19-year-old singer. She has the good fortune to be growing up in late 1960s Detroit - home of the legendary Motown hit factory. With her sisters Delores (Tika Sumpter) and Sister (Carmen Ejogo), she decides to seize the moment and follow her dream by forming an all-girl group. She also embarks on a romance with the group's manager, Stix (Derek Luke). But there are many complications along the path to fame, not least the opposition of the sisters' affluent single mother Emma (Whitney Houston) - a former singer now guided by her religious beliefs. A reimagining of the 1976 crowd-pleaser of the same title, 'Sparkle' gives gifted American Idol winner Jordin Sparks her first film role. Sadly, it also features the late Whitney Houston's last screen performance. Cert: 12A Running time: 116 minutes http://twitter.com/cineworld - Follow us here http://www.facebook.com/cineworld - Become a fan here
