Atom User Reviews for Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody
An incoherent montage of Whitney's life.
Awesome Movie! Focusing on her great Music & Career and not the Tragedy. Songs bring back great memories!
It was okay. I could've been longer and more detailed about her life.
Didn't want to like it, but I LOVED it. A very moving & sensitive Tribute. I love that it ended on a positive memory & the pictures from her life at the end are nice.
I was so glad to see her dynamic interpretation of Whitney's characterization! so amazing and brought chills to my body on the performances
The tragic story of a talent lost too soon to the negative side effects of stardom and sudden wealth
I think they did a good job, I just wished they would not have gone so deep in her drug addiction and concentrated more on the good things about her.
The movie was done very well. The actors did a great performance. It was not violent, graphic sex, or inappropriate in any way. I loved the singing.
I felt like it were Whitney herself acting in the movie. It is as impactful as Bohemian Rhapsody to me.
Really good movie. Told differently from any I've seen before.
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Naomi did an awesome job portraying Whitney.
This movie was probably one of the best. I’ve never been so awestruck in my life.
One of my favorite movies now
It was too long and 20 minutes of previews was way over the top, i think the cost of the movie was too high. I don’t think Atom done me any good since I lost the five dollar tmobile discount because the theater was closedon the original dsy because of a winter storm
one Person that I didn't like was Bobby Brown they was he was Using Drugs and other stuff .
I really enjoyed this movie. It showcased her rise to stardom and focused more on her personal struggles. Definitely gone too soon. Whitney was a powerhouse!
An absolutely amazing tribute to one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Hope they do more like this
One of the greatest movies of all times
excellent cast. acting was great. all of the characters were well done
this movie was fantastic, the singing, the clarity, the memories. I cried, sang, and reminisced. the best part is my husband usually falls asleep on our movie night, but he was up enjoying it just as much as me.
never seen the movie and noone would help with a gift card or refund.
I was so beyond amazed! I actually felt like I was living through Whitney and omg did I have all the feels! Tears and heart ache all the way!! Whitney is a freaking warrior
A LOT of details that I got lost in her story, but showed the highs and lows of fame and fortune with a greedy family not ready for that power
I always admired Whitney and longed to meet her face to face. Though that's not possible, this depiction of her on the big screen brought me some level of satisfaction!
I had my reservations about seeing this movie. I’m glad I did.
The makeup, the hair, the wardrobe and the music are to die for. I totally love the artist and her life story 💕.
Actress played Whitney well! But didn’t look like her! Overall it was a good movie!
Great Movie! Definitely going to see this again
Great movie!
The movie was meh. It gave me a lot of cuddling time with the lady though.
All of her hits played/sang in the movie do a great job of showing you the behind the scenes look in to her sentiment while transporting you back in time to when these songs were chart topping hits. It was so nostalgic that I cried all through the movie. Whitney had an amazing voice and it is a tragic loss still felt today
Excellent Movie. Very well done. Enjoyed every minute.
great actor's loved it!
Great movie
We miss you Whitney
This movie covers the life of Whitney Houston but the movie is pretty cliche and predictable if you seen other Musical biography movies.
Sad but a epic story.
it was more like music videos during together than a film. Whitney deserved better.
light hearted but not the full story.
This truly was such a beautiful story that many will not even begin to understand! We love you Whitney!
Great movie! Well told story! Well acted!
Nobody could sing like Whitney. It was a tradegy her death. Movie plot was boring. Loved the songs.
Movie was too long- otherwise good
Great music. But more lgbtq propaganda. The den of all evil.
lame
Nothing apart from music
I enjoyed the movie I learned a lot more about Whitney I didn’t know! I feel like it left out a lot lot of un answered questions too however.
The concession staff yelled at me and I had to report him to management.
excellent movie, well done, would see again.
Truly fantastic!
Metacritic
I wanna feel the HEAT … but I don’t. On the contrary, the animatronic new Whitney Houston biopic “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” left me shivering from a gust of arctic air as it so clinically and lazily examines the tragic life of the famous singer.

The indelible, unmatched voice of Houston may live on, but I Wanna Dance with Somebody lacks the ingredients of what made Houston a force that permanently altered every person who truly heard her.

There are only clichés in this rise-and-fall material, with the sole distinctive wrinkle being the weight given to the rise versus the fall.
