My Bodyguard Ratings & Reviews
Variety
Variety Staff
In his directorial debut, Tony Bill assembles a truly remarkable cast of youngsters with little or no previous acting experience.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
A film of ingredients, rather than ideas realized and integrated: it panders on different, disjunctive levels.
TV Guide
Makepeace is excellent as the slight protagonist, and Baldwin is perfect as the brooding, misunderstood mammoth.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
This movie is fun to watch because it touches memories that are shared by most of us, and because its young characters are recognizable individuals, and not simplified cartoon figures like so many movie teen-agers.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
A sweet little movie about characters who really seem to be people, and that sort of verisimilitude is rarer than it ought to be nowadays.
Blunt Review
Emily Blunt
Pah-lease...so goofy
eFilmCritic.com
Scott Weinberg
Does the typical "spiritual uplift" routine without feeling saccharine or insincere.
Apollo Guide
Mike DeWolfe
Twenty years after the fact, My Bodyguard holds up quite well.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
With affecting performances from Chris Makepeace, Adam Baldwin, and Matt Dillon, this film probes the traumas and challenges of youth.
