Editorial Review:
This 1992 crowd pleaser made almost as much money for Whitney Houston as its chart-busting soundtrack. A high-wattage star vehicle as only Hollywood can make, The Bodyguard stars Houston as a pop-music diva (now there's a stretch) and Kevin Costner as the stern bodyguard who is assigned to protect her after the singer receives some nasty death threats. Pop star and bodyguard don't hit it off at first, but they wear down each others' defenses, and before long Houston is baring her tonsils with a rousing rendition of the Dolly Parton chestnut "I Will Always Love You." The film, written by Lawrence Kasden, was originally intended for Steve McQueen, but the script languished for years before Houston took an interest in the project. A proposed sequel would potentially have starred Costner and Princess Diana, until Diana's tragic death precluded that possibility. --Jeff Shannon

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Not too bad, but way over hyped.
When The Bodyguard came out, everyone was saying it was the best movie ever.
So it has Costner and Houston.
I'm not getting it, Costner hasn't been in a good movie in years, and Houston hasn't been in a movie since.
Don't get me wrong, the movie is pretty good.
The acting is fine, the story is fine.
Houston plays a singer who is stalked. Gee, what a creative stretch.
The ending was good and all in all, it's worth a rental.
Rating: - DVD's on Amazon are much cheaper
We buy a lot of our DVD's on Amazon.........the deals are great and the selection is amazing.
Rating:  - The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen
Cheesy plot + terrible acting = The worst movie I've ever seen. I'm not surprised it garnered the Razzie Award for the worst picture of the year. On the other hand, the music is awesome.
Rating: - A Glitzy star vehicle for Houston

Rating: - The Bodyguard (Special Edition)
I still love this movie no matter how many times I watch it. However on the QUALITY of this dvd; I am a bit dissapointed - it froze on a particular sceen - that one where Whitney Houston performed on stage in front of a rowdy crowd. The scene kept on freezing no matter what I did. I had to skip the entire scene to finish the rest of the movie.
