Billie Frank is a shy, young multiracial girl who is sent away by her alcoholic mother at a very early age. At an orphanage, she befriends Louise and Roxanne. Flash forward to 1983. Billie and her friends are spotted by a record producer, Timothy Walker, who wants them to sing backup for his latest pop-music discovery. But when super DJ Julian Dice hears Billie's incredible voice, he makes a shady deal with Timothy to get her out of that dead-end situation. Soon, Billie and Dice are making hits inside the studio, and falling in love outside of it. Eventually, the pressure of her newfound celebrity puts too heavy a strain on Billie, forcing her to decide what it is she really wants from Dice, and what she wants for herself.
Leave your thoughts about Glitter.
| NewsdayJohn AndersonThe dubbing of the musical numbers is so inept that any cathartic effect of the music is totally lost in the distances between artist, art and audience. |
| IFilmDave WhiteThis may be the dorkiest movie of the year. |
| Low IQ CanadianMartin ScribbsA disaster like no other, Glitter has as its jaw-dropping highlight what I have to believe is the only scene of seduction by vibraphone ever filmed. |
| Hollywood Report CardRoss Anthonythough rickety in corners, Carey's amazing vocal talents melt away the awkward moments |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasGlitter is the week's only major Hollywood release, and it offers considerable escapist entertainment while hitting an affirmative note. |

| L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn DumpertGlitter is, if nothing else, comfortable with what it is, namely earnestly made, wholehearted schlock. |
| New York Daily NewsJack MathewsThis is the worst performance by a pop star in a dramatic role since Madonna suited up for "Shanghai Surprise." |
