Kevin Costner was right to insist that Whitney Houston costar in this film. All doubts were removed after she nailed the screen test the other producers insisted upon before they would agree.
This may have been her film debut, but she came across as extremely believable in her role. Yes, it was a bit hackneyed, especially with the addition of Ralph Waite as Costner's father, but it was still very enjoyable.
If you watch it for nothing else, the music was sensational. In fact, the soundtrack sold 100 million copies. It was that good. I Have Nothing and Run to You even got Oscar and Grammy nominations.
It's a very good film to sit back and enjoy just for Whitney's singing.
