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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

This movie covers the life of Whitney Houston but the movie is pretty cliche and predictable if you seen other Musical biography movies.

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.
