Leave your thoughts about The Bodyguard.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleI thought the basic situation in The Bodyguard was intriguing enough to sustain a film all by itself: on the one hand, a star who grows rich through the adulation that fans feel for her, and on the other hand, a working man who, for a salary, agrees to substitute his body as a target instead of hers. Makes you think. |
| Laramie Movie ScopeRobert RotenShould have been a perfect star vehicle for Whitney Houston, but the vehicle is a lemon. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA plotless and trashy romantic melodrama that, with th help of some melodic songs, became a popular hit and date movie. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe thriller aspect of The Bodyguard works, but the romance does not. |
| Tampa Bay TimesHal LipperIts popularity continues to confound critics everywhere. |
| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergFeature length rock video created to sell soundtracks. Starring Kevin Costner. |
| FilmFestivals.comMoira SullivanThe relationship between Houston and Costner is mighty strange one, albeit profoundly problematic. |
| The Seattle TimesJeff ShannonJackson's showy technique does little to lighten the over-earnest heroics and ponderous references to samurai, which are punctuated by assorted numbers and costume changes for Houston. Lawrence Kasdan, it seems, mulled over the first draft of his screenplay twenty years ago; it should have been left to languish in development purgatory. |
| Common Sense MediaSandie Angulo ChenGreat Whitney Houston songs, mediocre love story. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe Bodyguard is an outrageous piece of saccharine kitsch -- or, at least, it might have been had the movie seemed fully awake. |
