Viewing Notes
Film #5 of the RGEAC.
Glitter is pretty wildly known as a bad movie and once this LA pick for our evening started I thought this would end up being much better than people had said. Hell, I was thinking I might even love it. Boy, was I wrong. I generally don’t side with popular opinion but this movie is a goddamn chore.
Glitter has one thing going for it, a good soundtrack. Not necessarily the Mariah tunes, which are all well and fine, but the decent amounts of dance pop and early hip-hop in it. What it has going against it is just bad everything else. The biggest crime it has is just being boring. The plot plods along like a 3 legged horse with no sense of direction, for no reason and with no end in sight.
Easily the worst thing we saw that night. I don’t mind if a movie is annoying, at least then you’re invested in something in it. With Glitter you couldn’t give two shits other than wanting it to end.
