The Bodyguard was second biggest box office hit of 1992 (raking in $USD 411 worldwide), helped in part by Huston's number one hit I Will Always Love You, recorded for the film.

"I thought the basic situation in "The Bodyguard" was intriguing enough to sustain a film all by itself..."

Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"Lawrence Kasdan, it seems, mulled over the first draft of his screenplay twenty years ago; it should have been left to languish in development purgatory."

Time Out"Its popularity continues to confound critics everywhere."

Empire Magazine
Empire Magazine"No wonder this Lawrence Kasdan script has been on the shelf for more than a decade: In the custody of director Mick Jackson, it proves a jumbled mess, with a few enjoyable moments but little continuity or flow."

Variety
Variety"The Bodyguard is an outrageous piece of saccharine kitsch — or, at least, it might have been had the movie seemed fully awake. Instead, it’s glossy yet slack; it’s like Flashdance without the hyperkinetic musical numbers and with the romance padded out to a disastrously languid 2 hours and 10 minutes."

Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly"Deep inside the vague, unfocused excesses of The Bodyguard, the tale of a buttoned-down security agent hired to protect a glamorous pop star, there lurks the potential for a compelling film noir."
