Glitter (DVD, 2002)

You know how there is point when movies are so bad that they suddenly turn a corner and become good again for it's awfullness?

Glitter is a clear example of this.

A friend of mine gave me this DVD for my birthday as a gag, but let me tell you, it was the best drinking game movie party that I've ever had.

Here's an excerpt of some of the rules:
Transition involving a flash of light (fade to white, explosion, etc):
Say "ooooh!" and then Drink.

Film suddenly is in slow motion:
Shake your head and then Drink.

Billie & her friends wear matching outfits:
Look at what you and your friends are wearing, then Drink.

Glitter stripe moves around Billie's body:
Check yourself for wandering stripes, then Drink.

Billie shows some belly button:
Cover yours, then Drink.

The product was is excellent condition. It was what the seller describe it as. It had been shipped very promptly and had no problems.

I recieved the item in a timely manner. it was in excellent conditon. I was exactly whart I expected and It was a pleasure doing business with this seller. ASSET TO EBAT.

Thank you so much for having this DVD, someone stole this from my daughter one year for Christmas. She always ask when was she going to get a new, so here you where. Right on time. Thank you much for the DVD.

Rotten Tomatoes consensus: Glitter is a hodgepodge of movie cliches and bad acting that's sure to generate unintentional laughs. Unfortunately, the movie is not bad enough to be good.

That said, Glitter doesn't sparkle or shine, and while the written reviews are less than flattering; I found something a little endearing about this film. Maybe it's the undeveloped storyline or quite possibly the comedic way Padma Lakshmi vamps around and sings off key (we've come to know and love the Padma of Top Chef fame). If you're expecting a powerhouse performance from Mariah Carey, prepare to be disappointed, because Mariah cannot act. While there may be some truth to the semi-autobiographical nature of this film; unfortunately, there was no storyline development of Billie/Mariah's rags to riches tale. Mariah's vocal stylings are present (as are those of other artists appearing on the Glitter soundtrack). However, her singing voice does not a story make. It feels like bits and pieces of various stories have been thrown together making it disjointed and most of the storyline elements remain unresolved even in the end when her limousine pulls up to the farm house questions are left unanswered.

All in all, if you're expecting a great movie then don't buy it, because Glitter isn't it. However, if you want to be somewhat entertained, maybe laugh a little, blink back a tear or two, or root for the boy - then Glitter is at best a must see. If you're truly a Mariah Carey fan, then no matter how good or bad you might think this film is, you owe it to yourself to add it to your collection.

I decided to buy this dvd because,although most people think this movie bombed,I myself found it one of those films that let's you sit down and have a good cry when your feeling sentimental,& I also find that this movie has a way of making you feel good about yourself and your situations in life when things get too hard to deal with. The only thing I had a problem with,was that the dvd case itself was a little dented,but other than that,the movie was in perfect condition.

Ok the story is kind of week ... the actors weren't the A list ... but Mariah ... well she is just a DIVA .... a must have for MC fans and loyalist.

This movie is basically amazing. Thank you so much for making this available to be purchased, because I haven't been able to find in in many places, if any. The DVD was shipped quick, in sturdy packaging, and mint condition. Again, thank you very much.

I purchased Glitter because it is one of my favorite movies. I love Mariah Carey and had the VHS. It came up missing and I did not want to pay retail for the DVD. I am very satisfied with my purchase from Half.com and would buy from this seller again!

I love this movie alot because of mariah carey she is so great in this movie it is sad but still a great movie. everyone needs to see it.

I bought the movie to support MC. For those who are not fans, they might think that it is a biography of sorts, however, that is not true. I think that she took what she knew about the music industry and rising to fame and made it into a tear jerking drama. There are funny parts to it as well as parts that I feel everyone can relate to in some way whether it be adoption or just being in a relationship with someone. The movie never really caught on b/c of the release date and 9/11 occuring at the same time, but it was and still is definitely under rated. I think that everyone should watch it. She is definitely a great actress and I recommend watching Wise Girls starring her as well. Other movies w/ the great MC are the Bachelor and the unreleased "Tennessee".

great condition, payment method and shipping was easy and fast...very satisfied...highly recommend this seller

Most people hate this movie...thought it was boring and super bad!! But I love it, everything about it...Mariah is awesome and I'm sure that any REAL fan will tell you the same thing!!Rock on Mariah!!
