      Roxy H One of my favorites. Nostalgic and the absolute best soundtrack. Some of the reviewers take life way too serious. Consider getting out a bit? Some of ya'll need a hug. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Ava S The characters have interesting motivations that make for a compelling narrative, but the lack of romantic chemistry and true intensity will leave the audience unsatisfied. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Kevin P Incredible movie, watchable again and again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Fids N So what if it's cheesy? It's an enjoyable flick to watch over and over again. The Music? Everlasting… I love it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review babarizam I have seen this movie again and something felt not quite right about it. It was going to fast and without any reason. she is a good singer but terrible actress Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/23 Full Review Emma W Worth a watch if you're a big enough Whitney fan or really like St Bernard's dogs. With Costner's wooden acting the huge slovenly dog stole every scene it was in. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Peter Bradshaw Guardian An innocent popcorn pleasure, all the way up to that over-the-top scene on Oscar night. Rated: 4/5 Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Peter Rainer Los Angeles Times Just about everything that can go wrong with this film does, and yet it's compulsively watchable. (So is a train wreck.) Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Anne Cohen Refinery29 Houston's face, as she loses herself in the melody out there on a quiet porch in the woods, is a reminder of all she gave to this role, and this movie - and why it's always worth rewatching. Aug 21, 2020 Full Review James Croot Stuff.co.nz Houston is a revelation as the strong-willed, free-spirited, but lonely diva and single mother-of-one more concerned for her eight-year-old son's safety than her own. Rated: 3.5/5 Nov 11, 2022 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn Incredible soundtrack and a solid performance by Whitney Houston that helps you get through the dreary world this film takes place in. Rated: 3/5 Mar 24, 2022 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ...doesn't do well with plot, but the atmosphere is good, with Houston and Costner undeniably having the super-glam looks for this...
