Review
This gentle Brit-flick is so unassuming that it takes you a while to realise that it s actually rather good. Relative newcomer Shaun Evans plays Sam, an ambitious young man who cosies up to the glamorous Sheila (Stockard Channing) - only to find his plans in trouble when he falls for young rebel Kate (Amanda Ryan). Meanwhile, his wannabe lounge singer mother Jill (Lesley Manville) is fighting off the devoted attentions of her shy admirer Vince (Bob Hoskins, in a role that s sweetly against type). The characters are nicely drawn, and if it sometimes feels a little too small, it s still a charming and smart rom-com that s worth a look. Sparkle may not be an obvious bobby dazzler but seek it out and you'll be rewarded with a real gem. --Helen O'Hara, Empire

The amazingly wonderful Stockard Channing adapts a perfect British accent in this delightful movie, channeling the persona of Anne Bancroft in The Graduate. It brings back both the simple delights and then the erratic complications of new & old love. The Hollywood veteran cast members bring the comedy & are supported by playful newcomers who help renew the fresh & innocent sense of falling in love. I saw Sparkle at the Edinburgh Film Fest and I look forward to the US release because it's the perfect rom-com to watch over and over- it's refreshing even once you discover all of the surprises...

Lesley Manville's rendition of the Korgis' "Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime" is superb. (This was also covered by Beck in "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind").

One of the best Romantic Comedies ever!
I watched this on iTunes with my girlfriend and it is such a touching film. Bob Hoskin's and Stockard Channing as usual are fantastic. Highly recommend this movie.
