Selena was an amazing women with wonderful attributes. I know this film helped to bring those beautiful qualities out. Also, since it was the parents them selves who were fully involved in the creating of this film, how could this film... Full review

Lopez was even able to mimic Selena#39;s unmistakable laugh.....Selena is played amazingly by Jennifer Lopez in the movie.....Lopez truly captures the presence of Selena#39;s beauty and spirit.....while she could do this perfectly, she wasn't able to speak it as well at first.....The plot is historically precise in the depiction of the life story of Selena..... ...

In short, Selena: 10th Anniversary Special Edition was a solid little flick that might be seen as a television movie of the week to those unfortunate enough to have missed the whole Selena phenomenon but the courage of the family for allowing Nava and Hollywood into their grief in order to provide a positive message for her fans is to be admired; the movie certainly better than the vast majority of biographies on more levels than I can count. ...

FILM REVIEW -- Lopez Can't Lift `Selena' Above Ordinary The movie, directed and written by Gregory Nava (``My Family/Mi Familia''), is only so-so but Lopez, (``Jack'' and ``Blood and Wine'') is so vibrant that you almost forgive the movie's paint-by-numbers script and moldy formula. ... Full Review

despite the star power of Jennifer Lopez, who sparkles on stage and off, most of Selena fits all too snugly on video.....director Gregory Nava's film glosses over the conflicts and setbacks, leaving a relentlessly upbeat success story that just happens to have a sad ending.....the tragically short life of Selena.... ...

When this works -- when Lopez is shaking her booty in the star's signature sequined bustiers, doing that thing she did -- then Selena becomes a nice enough concert film, not unpleasantly gussied up with corny mood shots (flowers bursting, moon shining, the works) and dialogue to match. ...
