Why watch the movie Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody?
"Substitute the title 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody: A História de Whitney Houston' with 'Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody'. Translate the following text into US English:
Although it is a rather square biopic for a figure of the stature of Whitney Houston, 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' is a refreshing treat for the singer's fans. It not only speaks of the most important issues in the life of the North American, such as drug addiction, criticism from the black community and her relationship with her father and husband, but also celebrates all the good that Houston has done. All the incredible numbers she has beaten, all the vocal strength and so on. In addition, Naomi Ackie ('Lady Macbeth') is well on stage and, despite some slips with exaggeration of mannerisms, knows how to live The Voice on the big screen. Could it be a more creative movie, like 'Elvis' or 'Rocketman'? Without a doubt. It approaches, in the end, more of the formula of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. But still, it moves.
