  I love this film, the music & especially Kevin Costner's hair cut. It is a real classic and I hadn't watched it for some years now. Still great!

  Who could want more?
  
  It's got everything for fans of Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, and that song just keeps on going for days after the film stops.

  Amazing
  
  People frequently dismiss this film but it's so powerful and I am sure that everyone who watches it inside wants to be in that story.
