Synopsis
A pop singer has been receiving threatening notes, and her manager hires a bodyguard known for his good work. The bodyguard ruffles the singer’s feathers and most of her entourage by tightening security more than they feel is necessary. The bodyguard is haunted by the fact that he was on Reagan’s secret service staff but wasn’t there to prevent the attack by Hinckley. Eventually the bodyguard and the singer start an affair, and she begins to believe his precautions are necessary when the stalker strikes close to home. –IMDb

It may have an iffy reputation, but it is in fact a tense and very well-paced film; it wisely eschews an overdose of the expected soft-focus, lovey-dovey crap and comes across as a slick thriller.

Cute, slickly-shot schmaltz thats way more sincere and strange than its "made-for-a-cheap-buck" reputation suggests. Don't think too much, relax, strap on the wig-and-leather and belt out the best Whitney impression.
