Worth It Just for the Singing

Rating: 6/10 (2 May 2020)

Whitney Houston became a movie star in this film, which offers a lot of insight into the level of talent and appeal she had some 20 years before her untimely death in 2012. Although this is not a musical per se (more of a romantic thriller), Houston plays a pop singer and performs, among other songs, her signature tune, "I Will Always Love You," which was written by country legend Dolly Parton. ---from Musicals on the Silver Screen, American Library Association, 2013
