Directed by Kasi Lemmons and starring Stanley Tucci as Clive Davis, I Wanna Dance with Somebody highlights Houston's iconic performances, personal relationships and her struggles with fame and addiction.
The movie received mixed reviews from critics as some said it didn't capture Houston's essence and lacked the necessary ingredients that made her so fierce in the music industry.
Audience reactions were generally more positive and praised the film for capturing both the tragedy and glory of Houston's life.
Watch Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody this Friday at 9.35pm.
