Social media users seem to be divided on the movie.
Some called it amazing, while others not only criticised the lead actress but said that the script was poorly written.
If you are a Whitney Houston fan or just want to check out what the hype is about, the movie is available in South African cinemas.

This Whitney Houston movie should have been a Clive & Whitney movie, focused on Clive Davis’s relationship with Whitney from his perspective. That would have been a much better story. #WhitneyHoustonMovie

This Whitney Houston I Wanna Dance Movie is so bad. The script was poorly written and the editing was horrible. They skipped through so much of Whitney’s life that they really didn’t tell much of her story at all. #WhitneyHoustonMovie

The Whitney Houston movie was phenomenal and I’m glad they really dived into the Robin storyline. To think that “I wanna dance with somebody” had a queer undertone for Whitney is everything, I was shook.

I just got back from watching Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody… That movie was amazing!
And Naomi Ackie, girrrlll YOU DID THE ROLE JUSTICE. I had goosebumps all throughout the film because the voice was ABSOLUTELY ON POINT. Had me in my feels the entire movie.

A life as complex and storied as Whitney Houston’s deserved more than a 2.5-hour movie.
The movie wasn’t terrible but it did fall flat in a lot of areas, in my opinion. 5 out of 10 for me.

Whitney Houston movie 12/10 as expected

I usually do not give movie reviews. The new Whitney Houston movie sucked. Stay home and just play all her music. Script did not dig deep at all.

Finding out the Whitney Houston movie is two and a half hours long has kinda killed any enthusiasm to see it this week lol.
