Synopsis

Lawrence Kasdan originally wrote his script for The Bodyguard in the late 1960s as a vehicle for Steve McQueen; by the time it reached the screen, Kasdan's star was another movie hearthrob, Kevin Costner. When imperious musical superstar Whitney Houston begins receiving death threats, she is compelled to hire a bodyguard. Enter Costner, who immediately incurs the wrath of Houston and her entourage by imposing prison-like security measures. An ex-Secret Service agent, Costner still hasn't purged himself of his guilt feelings over his inability to protect President Reagan from would-be assassin John Hinckley (in the original concept, the agent had been guarding JFK in Dallas, but Costner was too young to make this credible; besides, he and Oliver Stone had been there before). Gradually, and inevitably, Costner and Houston fall in love. Ralph Waite is cast as Costner's father, while Robert Wuhl and Debbie Reynolds please the crowd in their cameo roles. The Bodyguard was a huge box-office success, helped along in no small part by Whitney Houston's bestselling rendition of the old Dolly Parton hit "I Will Always Love You." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Bodyguard: AMG Review
Jason Clark , AMG

In her first major acting role, pop singer Whitney Houston proves that she's quite an impressive chanteuse, more or less playing a version of her real-life persona in Mick Jackson's terminally ridiculous romantic drama. A silly, overheated exercise in futility, the film unwisely attempts to be a romance, a thriller and a music world docudrama all in one, with very poor (but often unintentionally hilarious) results. A labor of love for star-producer Kevin Costner, who is at least charismatic here, this film was written by ace writer-director Lawrence Kasdan several years before as a vehicle for the late Steve McQueen. Though he receives sole credit for the screenplay, Kasdan is reportedly not a fan of the final picture, but gave Costner the blessing to go ahead and make the film. Despite its potentially damaging reviews, the film was hugely successful, and created one of the top-selling pop singles of all time, Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", which was previously recorded in 1974 by Dolly Parton and featured in the 1982 film, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Deemed a lock for an Oscar win as Best Original Song that year, Houston's recording was ineligible due to its appearance in a previous film. Still, two of the other songs from the film's Grammy-winning soundtrack received nominations. ~ Jason Clark, All Movie Guide
