Name of the film is Whitney, but the film is mostly about Bobby Brown, the film title should be Bobby Brown(the angel). I think this is one of the worst film I ever saw. As one for me wrote "is Angela Bassett sleeping with Bobby Brown?". I hope this is the last film Angela Bassett will directed. There is sadly nothing good to say about this film: Acting is very bad Film cuts bad ....bad..poor... I hope the next film will be about Whitney, that is wont be cancelled. Maby this It's just my opinion. If you haven't seen the film don't! We just ruined 2 hours of our life, don't do it, but if you do, remember that I told You :-)

Just more Hollywood glamorizing of drug attics and bad life styles, but Whitney is black so its "ok"......... you know because we don't get the struggle and what not. with that said Yaya Decosta is a good actress and a beautiful women I look forward to more of her films. the moral of this. Whitney was a good singer and a terrible person in real life. so if your into watching somebody make one bad decision after another drugs, bobby brown, etc then you will like this movie if you want something with substance pass on this. Whitney is the result of what happens when too many people worship and sacrifice there lives at the alter of fame. its high time people put this type of behavior behind them and stopped glorifying it. this movie is about wasted potential and the voice of an angel being snuffed out by drugs and bad choices.

I have always been a Whitney fan so the movie was interesting. Unfortunately the actress that played Whitney did not look or act like her at all. She was over dramatic, unbelievable and way too skinny. IF a different actress had been cast it could have been a great movie. I think the depth and length of her addiction was exaggerated. The love between her and Bobbi felt real for the most part. His character seemed realistic however I was never a fan so could be wrong. I would recommend the movie to anyone who is a Whitney fan. 6 out of 10 thanks to an interesting love story. It could have and should have been much better!

I have a always been a fan of Lifetime's low budget biopics - they aren't meant to be great - but this movie about Whitney Houston was just awful. The actress playing Whitney gave a really bad performance - her crying scene after she had a miscarriage was laughable. The writers of this movie expect us to believe that Bobby Brown was some innocent victim who doesn't use cocaine and turns down groupies. Meanwhile Whitney is portrayed as an insecure party girl who goes crazy on drugs. They also chose to ignore the stories about Whitney's lesbian romance with her assistant Robin. Besides the bad writing and acting the real problem was there were way too many full length musical numbers. How can you make a movie about a legendary singer like Whitney Houston and then use someone another woman's voice.
