Glitter movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: Glitter, the kind of movie only 11-year-old girls who dot their i's with hearts would find bearable, is filled with unintentionally humorous moments that tower over any comedy released this year. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A vehicle that tarnishes as you watch it, leaving this troubled chart-topper lost in a sea of drunken, maudlin cliches. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Read more
Christy Lemire, Associated Press: The best parts of this dud are the ones in which she's singing. This is what she does best. This is what she should stick to. Save your money and watch her videos for free on cable music-television networks. Read more
Tom Maurstad, Dallas Morning News: Ms. Carey sure can sing but she sure can't act. Read more
Lawrence Van Gelder, New York Times: An unintentionally hilarious compendium of time-tested cinematic cliches that illustrates the chasm between hopeful imitation and successful duplication. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: The dubbing of the musical numbers is so inept that any cathartic effect of the music is totally lost in the distances between artist, art and audience. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Above all, the film is lacking in joy. It never seems like it's fun to be Billie Frank. Read more
Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Glitter lacks sparkle. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: Glitter could have set its sights higher or at least could have been more even in tone, but there's no denying that the material fits Mariah Carey like one of her skin-tight gowns. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Carey is weirdly blank and recessive. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Though the story repeats every cliche of the form, it manages to get things wrong in new and fascinating ways. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Have risen above screenwriter Kate Lanier's mundane show-biz saga. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Occasionally, I see a chunk of cinematic debris that strikes so many wrong chords that I can't figure out how the project was greenlighted in the first place. This is one of those incidents. Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: The great failure of Glitter is that it stops just short of being deliciously bad enough to qualify as a camp classic. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: A derivative mishmash of cinematic and real-life situations. Read more
Time Out: This fails to convince on several levels: Carey's assumed edginess; Beesley's faltering Brooklyn accent; turns from such celebs as rapper Da Brat and soul vocalist Eric Benet; the half-hearted '80s references and the haphazard retro effects. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Having gone through a few different titles on its ignominious path to the big screen, Glitter deserves yet another title: A Star Is Dull. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Infinitely mockable. Read more
