This was a jock to romantic movies. I gave it a try because I'm a huge fan of Whitney Houston. As expected the soundtracks were amazing and I sang throughout the entire movie, but everything else was just BAD ! The acting was good, and Houston did a very good job unlike what others say, but the script was lame and predictable! And the worst part was definitely the inexistant chemistry between Kevin Costner (the bodyguard) and Whitney Houston. This was supposed to be a romantic movie, but there were barely any romantic gestures and to end the movie on such a unromantic-banal conclusion ?! I was very disappointed. The direction was awful and I think Breakfast at Tiffany (1960 movie) was better directed then this. I could clearly see the green-screen in the back during the scene where Frank was being shot at the cottage. Very disappointed as I was told all my life how much of a classic this is. Awful, just watch for the good music!

I really liked it to be fair. The acting was good and the scenes were gorgeous because it was filmed on water and all. It really gives you a close up to what navigation is, it's ups and downs and the challenges to face. I can't make a very big review because it was a quite simple plot: A middle aged man leaves his girlfriend with his young daughter at home as he needs to replace his brother in law in the Vendée Globe (a round-the-world non-stop single-handed yacht race). Then something happens and it complicates the entire thing. What really touched me was the ending. How everyone gathered around the winner as the person approached the finish line. Shows how much victory can be worth the journey.

The first 5 episodes were amazing, brilliant, emotional, pure find any word that defines perfection out there I'll take it. But after that it really started to go down hill : The plots were not as interesting and were spinning around in circles. The drama started to feel like damn soap operas. Some episodes it really felt like they ran out of ideas and you'd only see basically 2 or 4 actors during the entire 45 min. It was painful and during an episode in season 2 I fell alseep. The acting is ok (The actor who plays Jake is definitely the best one). What started off as a 10/10 show is now headed towards a 2/10. I even managed to watch some episodes of season 3, and it was a bad idea to keep it going because the rating is gonna drop a lot. They should have stopped at season 2 heck season 1. Disappointed, my mom and I really enjoyed it.
