Kim Kardashian says all warm words for Whitney Houston's biopic 'I wanna dance with somebody'  

The reality TV star Kim Kardashian lauds Whitney Houston's biopic  I Wanna Dance With Somebody and its star Naomi Ackie.

The picture therefore opened two days prior to Christmas and has received a tepid response both from critics and the box office. 

Kim, 42, was quite praiseworthy of the show despite slow box office collections, gushing that its leading lady 'COMPLETELY embodies Whitney.'

Taking to her Instagram stories, the KUWTK alum wrote,  'WOW, WHITNEY HOUSTON: I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY was so good.'

'I love how they made it a celebration of Whitney's life & Naomi Ackie COMPLETELY embodies Whitney.'

She continued,  'Must see it and in theaters for the best experience!'

 One of the film's producers is the legendary record producer Clive Davis, who knew Whitney and is played onscreen by Stanley Tucci.

Whitney, whose various drug problems were extensively documented over the years, died in the bath in her suite at the Beverly Hilton ahead of the Grammys in 2012.

Kim meanwhile is co-parenting four children with her ex-husband, Whitney's fellow music star Kanye West, who saw his career implode and his billion-dollar fortune plummet last year after a string of anti-Semitic outbursts.
