WHITNEY HOUSTON: I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY

Another forgettable biopic about a pillar within the music world. Naomi Ackie does a wonderful job portraying The Voice herself, Whitney Houston. She's supported solidly by Stanley Tucci (Clive Davis), her record manager. The look and mannerisms are down but since Whitney has such a distinct and powerful voice, Ackie is left to lip sync her singing scenes. And like a lot of films about musicians the focus is on the music while offering just a glimpse of the real individual behind-the-scenes. Although I will be honest and say I like some Whitney Houston songs but was surprised to find she was bisexual upon the early moments of the film. Another tragedy of star gone too soon, even if Houston passed at the age of 48. A decent film worth a viewing but will be forgotten about soon after. 6/10
