 | Es una pelicula muy exquisita, tiene un contenido fuera de lo común y podrÃa decir que a la fecha nadie se ha atrevido a realizar una pelÃcula con el mismo guÃon pues serÃa muy difÃcil superar las actuaciones en conjunto de Huston y Cosner; es una trama fascinante, sobre todo para los que son muy románticos y para aquellos que nos les molesta ver de nuevo una pelÃcula esta es 100% recomendable. |

| You will love Kevin Costner's best movie. He plays Frank, who bodyguards Rachel (played by Whitney Houston), who is threatened by some pyshco. This movie will lift you in high spirits the sme Whitney Houston's first 4 albums did! It features her #1 smash, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. Plus I HAVE NOTHING and others. |
| Rating | | | Date | June 26, 2005 | | Summary | I wouldn't class this as a special edition | Content
| How does 1 misery-inducing, dull featurette, a trailer, and a music video that we've all seen a zillion times already qualify this as having "special edition" splashed all over it? Too many suckers fall for this kind of thing, when they see a special edition of their favourite movies, only to be disappointed. I'm disappointed, cos I couldn't even sit through the whole featurette, but I bought mine on the cheap. So it's not that big a loss. And lets face it, Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" spent about 14 weeks (correct me if I'm wrong on that I'm just guessing) at the top of the UK charts, and I'm sick of seeing the video now. 13 years after the film was originally released would have warranted some decent extras. I suppose we'll have to wait until the 25th anniversary of this film to see if we get any decent DVD release - which so didn't happen with Grease, it's well past it's 25th anniversary, and still no special edition.
Back to the film. I love this movie! The only thing that's stopping it from getting four stars is the dismal DVD release. It's so nice to see Whitney Houston the way she was, rather than the way she is now - talk about fame going to your head. She's never had a big a hit as she did with the aforementioned song, and that's been her downfall. The soundtrack album to this movie became one of the largest-selling soundtrack albums in history. To date, it has sold over 17 million copies. Sales were fueled by the success of the song "I Will Always Love You" which was written by Dolly Parton. According to Soundscan, the top-selling soundtrack was "Saturday Night Fever" album with 22 million albums sold to date.
It's also my favourite Kevin Costner movie so far, as he's absolutely terrific in this. And for once, there's actually some chemistry between the two lead stars, which always helps towards a "romantic comedy".
I would only recommend getting this so-called special edition DVD for very, very cheap. It's not worth the hassle of buying it full price just to be disappointed. |

| This is a great movie, Whitney Houston is as good of an actress as she is a singer. Its plot it great, the writing is great. I was in tears by the end of the movie. This is a superb love story. I love it, cant get enough of it |

| But this IS NOT a 2 disc set. I enjoyed this movie so much, but always wanted to see it in widescreen. Now, after many, many years Warner has graced us with one. Kevin Costner is the bodyguard, a role I would like to see him do again. There is a good sequel in there somewhere, but we don't really need Whitney. She's OK, well, she's playing herself really. The musical numbers are great, the soundtrack is superb! (Even that over, over, overplayed song "I'll Always Love You." I had the first edition on DVD, and this new one has better sound and higher picture quality. If you watch this film often, treat yourself and upgrade to this special edition. Also features a new documentary on the making of the film. |
