    Maria Carey should stick to the microphone, not the move set.
  • October 1, 2009
    one of the worst movies of all time

    I HATE Mariah Carey!
  • September 14, 2009
    I actually used to like this movie. I guess I need to see it again to see why people dislike it so much.
  • August 25, 2009
    I can think of nothing that would recommend this. If you are a fan of Mariah, she isn't photographed that well, there are no big stand out tunes. If you aren't, then, you are looking at a movie which everyone involved with is obviously embarrassed about.

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. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Above all, the film is lacking in joy. It never seems like it's fun to be Billie Frank. full review

The great failure of Glitter is that it stops just short of being deliciously bad enough to qualify as a camp classic. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Dim bulb of a movie. full review

    Who in the fuck told Mariah Carey that she was a good actress? At least not in this piece of musical dung.

    Although most people said it sucked i thought that for her first movie role it was pretty good. i have to laugh when people ask if its like a biography of her life even though u may think that its not.also the casting was well done so kudos to the caster
