K, THE ORIGINAL FLICK NEVER HAD GOOD REVIEWS, LET'S BE REAL. ONE OF JOEL SCHUMACHER'S FIRST FLICKS HE EVER MADE. MANY CRITICS HAVE SAID HE SHOULD DO IT OVER HIMSELF. WITH HIS EXPERIENCE NOW, SEVERAL OSCAR NOM'S, RAVE REVIEWS HE'S RECEIVED IN MUSICALS SINCE, HE'S THE BEST DIRECTOR TO REDO THIS. NO CONFIDENCE IN THE AKIL'S AT ALL. THEY ARE LOW BUDGET WRITER/DIRECTING TEAM AND IT SHOWS, SIGH... AT LEAST DREAM GIRLS HAD A GOOD CAST WITH OSCAR WINNER JAMIE FOX, EDDIE MURPHY, AND JHUD WHO ALSO WENT ON TO WIN AN OSCAR. NO ACTORS IN SPARKLE WITH GREAT ACTING CRED OUTSIDE OF DEREK LUKE. WHITNEY IS ONE OF THE EXEC PRODUCERS, THAT'S WHY THEY DID REWRITES FROM THE ORIGINAL AND SHE'S NOT A MAID.

STILL... I have huge reservations what the critics will say and slam this to bits and pieces, lol. Just watch.
