“Glitter”
2001
I have fond feelings about this movie because the screening I saw it at came not long after 9/11, and at that moment, New Yorkers needed a catharsis to help them try and crawl out from the horror. Who knew it would take another horror to made things OK again for 104 minutes? The soggy tale of a singer and her DJ boyfriend was devoid of drama or good songs, but it had laughs —like when Mariah Carey spills out of her limo in a sequined gown to visit her backwoods mama. Amazingly, she survived it and landed roles in “Precious” and “The Butler,” but it was no thanks to this weak “A Star Is (Still)Born” retread.
