i be hesitant to watch this film . a friend have rent it and ask me to watch it . the acting here be good by most everyone . it be also interesting how you get to see behind the scene of a person who be a mega star . you get a little peek into the private life that you might not see otherwise . at time the film feel lurid and soapy . but other time it be fascinate . kevin costner do a very good job here and look so handsome . he really give his character life here . whitney houston also do a good job and it wasn not any stretch at all to believe her portrayal of the big star singer . probably a film that woman would enjoy more than men but despite the flaw and i do enjoy it . i do not think it ever become too sappy . i think the reason for the attack on the star be probably the weak point of the film .
