This 1992 crowd pleaser made almost as much money for Whitney Houston as its chart-busting soundtrack. A high-wattage star vehicle as only Hollywood can make, The Bodyguard stars Houston as a pop-music diva (now there's a stretch) and Kevin Costner as the stern bodyguard who is assigned to protect her after the singer receives some nasty death threats. Pop star and bodyguard don't hit it off at first, but they wear down each others' defenses, and before long Houston is baring her tonsils with a rousing rendition of the Dolly Parton chestnut "I Will Always Love You." The film, written by Lawrence Kasden, was originally intended for Steve McQueen, but the script languished for years before Houston took an interest in the project. A proposed sequel would potentially have starred Costner and Princess Diana, until Diana's tragic death precluded that possibility. --Jeff Shannon

 Not too bad, but way over hyped. June 16, 2008
When The Bodyguard came out, everyone was saying it was the best movie ever.
So it has Costner and Houston.
I'm not getting it, Costner hasn't been in a good movie in years, and Houston hasn't been in a movie since.
Don't get me wrong, the movie is pretty good.
The acting is fine, the story is fine.
Houston plays a singer who is stalked. Gee, what a creative stretch.
The ending was good and all in all, it's worth a rental.
DVD's on Amazon are much cheaper April 12, 2008

 The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen February 13, 2008

Cheesy plot + terrible acting = The worst movie I've ever seen. I'm not surprised it garnered the Razzie Award for the worst picture of the year. On the other hand, the music is awesome.
A Glitzy star vehicle for Houston November 18, 2007
Rachel Marron, portrayed by Whitney Houston, is a worldwide superstar singer and actress who has millions of adoring fans but one has taken there admirations too far. In a world of glamour and celebrity Marron fights to maintain her career and Frank Farmer, her bodyguard, fights to keep her alive.
Kevin Costner portrays Frank Farmer, a no-nonsense bodyguard hired by the singers associates that struggles with Marron's devotion to her career and her own deluted view that she is invincible.
Houston plays a charachter that paralells her real life, an accomplished actress and singer who is being stalked by an obsessive fan. Bodyguard was to be the big vehicle to launch Houston into a mega film career. Although Houston's performance is commendable for her first film effort, her shinging moments in the film are when she showcases the soundtrack, which is incredible. Costner is strong in his stern, powerful role.
Bodyguard, although panned by many critics, was extremly successful at the box office both domestically and worldwide. The 8th highest grossing film of all time, Bodyguard was financially a success for Houston but her acting performance was ignored by critics. The film has many twists and turns and keeps you guessing. It is not an Oscar worthy performance by Houston, but highly entertaining!
The Bodyguard (Special Edition) September 6, 2007
I still love this movie no matter how many times I watch it. However on the QUALITY of this dvd; I am a bit dissapointed - it froze on a particular sceen - that one where Whitney Houston performed on stage in front of a rowdy crowd. The scene kept on freezing no matter what I did. I had to skip the entire scene to finish the rest of the movie.
