Reviews
"You're going to see "The Bodyguard" spoofed a lot. Just two days ago I saw an episode of "The Simpsons" with Homer saving Mark Hamill from a horde of geeks. As the song "I Will Always Love You" swelled in the background, the image of Homer carrying an animated Mark in his arms filled the screen.
Of course, the film itself isn't a good movie. "The Bodyguard" is, in fact, a very bad movie. But I like it, in an odd sort of way. It's one of those likable but stupid movies that make the time fly by on a Friday night -- unless, of course, you have something better to do than waste your time watching Kevin Costner attempt to act and Whitney Houston attempt to love him." - John Ulmer (The Movie Portal, November 2003)
"Superficial but pleasant romantic thriller that lacks substance but has a certain charm. It shouldn’t work but somehow gets away with it." - Andrea Chee (Movie Gazzette DVD review)
"The sidelines of "The Bodyguard" are enlivened by Mr. Kasdan's occasionally deft zingers (including the perfect rejoinder to a party pickup line), by moments when Mr. Costner's wariness takes on some dramatic edge and by supporting performances geared to a film noir sensibility. Mr. Kemp, a sinister star of "The Krays," and Ms. Richards are particularly strong reminders of what might have been." - Janet Maslin (New York Times)
"At first, the movie's an enjoyable, MTV-deep collision of opposites. Costner's an organized, disciplined loner who keeps a ninja sword handy. She's peppy, scatterbrained and surrounded by publicity minions. His biggest fear is being caught flat-footed. She just wants to kick up her heels. It's only a matter of time before love arises between Mr. Earphone and Ms. High Note. By that time, "Bodyguard" has slumped to the ground." - Desson Howe (Washington Post, November 1992)
"Rumored to have been rife with personality clashes and other assorted
problems during its production, this film emerges as perhaps one of the
most unbearable viewing experiences of the year, complete with a formulaic
script, lousy acting, and muddled direction." - Pamela Bruce (Austin Chronicle,
November 1992)
