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...

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.

I found Sparkle charming, funny and quite enjoyable. I watch a lot of romantic comedies, but this film really stood out for me! It's extremely well written and the actors really bring their characters to life- I love their accents and British sense of humor. This film is fantastic, definitely worth seeing!!!

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").

I love romantic comedies and it was a breath of fresh air to watch a foreign romantic comedic film. The acting is good, the plot is sweet and romantic, the humor is understandable, and it's a happy ending film that won't leave you unsatisfied. This is a must-see for movie lovers that haven't gotten a taste of British romantic comedies!

Sparkle proves that Hoskins is a verstile actor as he adds another surprising role to his repitiore. Definitely recommend!

DVD was received right on time and in perfect order! Great movie no scratches at all, and played in the DVD player without any glitches. Love it!

Excited to watch this movie, thinking I'd found a diamond in the rough, I sat down with my girlfriend to watch. Within five minutes we were giving each other the 'Are you sure you want to watch this?' looks.

We're patient people, and decided to give it another 20 minutes. But it stinks.

Maybe, maybe, somewhere in there these characters develop compelling personas, or the production values suddenly take a turn from the only-slightly-better-than-high-school-amateur feeling, or the random cuts between scenes make sense... but we decided not to wait around to find out.

I love British comedies! This one doesn't fail to deliver. It's a fun romantic comedy and I think like other British films it seems more realistic the the rom coms here in the US. Definitely one of my new favorites :)

if you like romantic comedies you will love this film! A witty script and a great story makes the film relatable but the acting is what keeps the viewer interested! BUY IT!
