The only surprise in this movie was that we learned more about Bobby than we did Whitney. I realize the family was not behind this movie, but after watching it twice, I did not find out one thing about Whitney that the media hadn't already reported on thousands of times before while it was happening. Actually, the movie is much kinder to Whitney and Bobby than I expected it to be. Now, with their daughter in such physical trouble that I pray she overcomes, I have to admit I have found some things that Bobbi has said, along with the rest of the family, questionable. Bobbi was interviewed and stated that she was not asked to play Whitney. She seemed mad about that, but she knows she's not an actor, and why was she so upset at not being asked, yet in the same breath mad because a movie was being made and it being "too soon". The actors were believable , and although I was surprised that Bobby was more prominent than Whitney, we have to remember that the two of them were together for most of her success and also her decline. Angela Bassett did a wonderful job in trying to fit so much material into such a short network allotted time frame. Whitney the movie is not the "drag them through the mud" film that it was portrayed to be by members of the Houston clan.
score 7/10
