Glitter is a good film....Even if the movie is bad (which will be discussed in just a moment) there is still the music.....But Mariah can't be all the blame for this movie.....The supporting cast, Da Brat and Tia Texado, were great interacting with Carey.....Glitter is not as bad as everyone makes it out to be..... ...

A loose reworking of A Star Is Born in an 80s disco setting, Glitter is a vanity project in the worst sense: everything revolves around the star's brilliant talent, soulful pining, and hard-won rise to fame.
Whatever you think of her singing career, Mariah Carey is a total loss as an actress - a round-faced doll, alternately smiling and sorrowful, seemingly incapable of connecting with any other performer.

Eric's Bad Movies: Glitter (2001)

To make matters worse, Mariah Carey steps in for a cameo to prove to us why we hated Glitter so very much.

Yet, in spite of the pictures been there, done that, bought the t-shirt unoriginality, the romance angle of the film is fresh and bitter-sweet.
Glitter , which is easy on the eyes and ears, is a guilty pleasure.
Mariah Carey isnt bad.

No, ''Glitter'' deserves better.
This, friends, is an actual line from Glitter , Mariah Carey's deeply personal meditation on fame, love, and her own indomitable bosom.

Glitter , sadly, isn't so awful that it falls into any sort of "so bad, it's good" category.
There's so much wrong with Glitter that I'm nearly overwhelming trying to find a starting point, though I suppose I might as well begin with its leading lady.
