- QUICK TAKE:
- Drama: A young singer must contend with shooting to superstardom and all that comes with that, including various strained relationships with those in her life.
- PLOT:
It's 1983 and Whitney Houston (NAOMIE ACKIE) is a young woman who sings backup in the band fronted by her mother, Cissy (TAMARA TUNIE), and has a girlfriend in Robin Crawford (NAFESSA WILLIAMS). When Arista head Clive Davis (STANLEY TUCCI) hears Whitney sing, he's blown away and immediately signs her to his label, with her father, John (CLARKE PETERS), serving as her business manager and Robin as her creative director.
As her star rises and she longs to have a family, she starts seeing men, including hip hop artist Bobby Brown (ASHTON SANDERS). But despite her track record of number one hits and resultant fame, she must contend with strained relationships with some of those in her life, as well as the pressures of being famous and non-stop work, all of which results in her turning to drugs for an escape.
- WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
- If they're fans of Houston and her music, that's a definite yes.
- WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG-13
- For strong drug content, some strong language, suggestive references, and smoking.
