Sam has a chance to be a public relations guru, until true love turns his world upside down.

Derek Elley

Variety

Though on paper the movie sounds like a slick relationship comedy, it plays much more realistically.

A little more cinematic flair might have made Sparkle live up to its title better.

Shadows on the Wall

Strongly natural performances and a likeable cast, plus a subtle examination of more serious themes, make it well worth seeing.

Rated: 3.5/5

Dalmation F

In later years, brilliant actor/director Shaun Evans would spend a decade of his life playing the detective, Endeavour Morse. In this movie, a boyish Evans plays an adorable and charming, if somewhat narcissistic, young man trying to make a life for himself in London. His rather calculating character embarks upon an affair with his wealthy older employer but then, without knowing the relationship between the two, falls in love with the employer's daughter. Stockard Channing plays the older employer and, as she always is, is superb.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
