However, she plays it all so low key, that it barely registers. This is intended to be a big scene for Houston as she tells him off. In one scene, Sister brings her comic boyfriend to dinner, where he makes some jokes that offend Emma. The reason she may not have much screen time is because she is not, nor has she ever been, a good actress. A gospel ballad. She and Sparks sing the theme song during the closing credits. The minister comes over for dinner and she sings in the choir. She plays Emma, the mother who keeps a strict eye on her daughters and is very active in her church. Things get worse and someone ends up in jail.Īlthough she was the one who got this project moving, Houston has very little to do. He is abusive and gets her hooked on drugs. Her drug problems cause the girls to miss out on getting a record contract. Sister attracts the attention of a semi-famous comedian and soon takes up with him. He forms the girls into a "Supremes" type singing group with Sister acting as Diana Ross and Dolores and Sparkle in place of Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. Then he realizes that Sparkle writes songs.
At first he is attracted to Sister, as every man in the film is. She writes music and does not know just how talented she really is.Īlong comes Stix, a Barry Gordie wannabe. The middle girl is Dolores, who is going to school to be a doctor. The youngest girl is named Sparkle. No, I am not making that up. She and her mother do not get along as she has a less than respectable reputation. It tells the story of three grown sisters who live with their religious single mother in Detroit in 1968. Although not a great film by any means, it has some things to offer, including showcasing some parallels with Houston's career. It was intended to be a film comeback for her. Whitney Houston obtained the rights to this story and acted as an executive producer.
