Either change the name of the movie to Whitney and Bobby or give viewers more than a few hits, wigs and giggles. Give us more Whitney Houston. Go to Full Review Michael Arceneaux Complex 03/29/2018
The movie isn't terrible, but it's not especially good either. If the goal was to give Bobby's side of events: flawless victory. Go to Full Review Kevin Fallon The Daily Beast 09/21/2017
Lifetime's Whitney Houston biopic was confusingly bland, and we're not happy about it. Go to Full Review Keri Lumm Paste Magazine 01/23/2015
Here's the thing, as far as standard Lifetime movies go, this was a decent film. But the question is, does Whitney Houston deserve just 'decent,' or does she deserve an HBO miniseries, or a Hollywood film? Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 01/20/2015

Deontae D 11/25/2024 A decent mini biogeography of the legendary Whitney Houston, It's decent, But not that great, The lady portraying as Whitney Houston did pretty good, Arlen escarpeta did a decent job as Bobby Brown, But it focused on her down moments, The new edition story & Bobby Brown story from bet did it better, 2 1/2 over 5 See more 12/14/2018 One of the worse biopics I’ve seen. See more 01/30/2017 This was the worst. And total lies about Bobby Brown. He had serious issues and drug problems way before he met Whitney. Terribly done. I'm embarrassed for everyone that had anything to do with this farce. Poor Bobbi Kristina had to deal with this before she got murdered. I do hope someday someone will do justice to this great talent. Hot mess all the way. See more 08/15/2016 A good directorial effort by Angela Basset See more 03/09/2016 Sad story, quite well acted, but if this is true, Whitney was a very damaged person See more 02/27/2016 Koga akter/ka ke se obide da rezira, ili ispaga epten dobro ili mnogu losho, nema sredina. Ovojpat Angela Bassett se obidela da go otslika zivotot na Whitney Houston i nejzinata vrska so Bobby Brown, no rezultatot e katastrofa. Prvo, izborot na glavnata akterka e propust. Vtoro, vo filmov ima nepotrebni sceni so celi pesni. Treto, nema nisto specificno po koe ke se pamti filmov. Ili pak zivotot na Whitney bil tolku dosaden, sto nemalo sto da se prikaze. Kako i da e, koga ke go izgledate filmov, sfakate kolku Whitney si go zeznala zivotot i taa i samo taa e vinovna za toa... See more Read all reviews
