Selena
The story of a girl who had the spirit to believe in a dream and the courage to make it come true.
The nuts and bolts of the irresistibly danceable music called Tejano are pop, rock, polka, R&B and Latin influences. To millions of fans there's another vital ingredient: the dynamic singer Selena. "Selena" is the vibrant story of the Grammy-winning singer whose life ended at its creative peak. Pulsating with Selena's voice on the soundtrack, the film is powerfully authentic. In the title role, Jennifer Lopez captures the warmth and electricity of a beloved entertainer.

good film, and suitable for kids - seanmcmanus
Jennifer Lopez does a convincing job in the film. The filmakers also allow the chracaters to perform entire songs which adds to the realism of the film and makes it seem more like concert footage. Not an art film but very enjoyable, and tasteful way in which they deal with the "end" of the film without resorting to vioolent or drawn out melodrama.selena's dreaming about tomorrow.... - movie_goer
Let's set the record i'm a devoted selena fan-not jenny from the block.(if you get what i'm spelling it out to you). now thats settled, i love this movie!!!! Based on the life of selena until the days leading up to her tragic death. your inspired by her whimsical,innocence. Selena had everything a loving family,the perfect body, a fashion line, millions of fans in south america, a boyfriend in her band who married her, a father who gave her the world and rare vocal range that no one to this day can achieve. Selena and her family captivate my heart with so many mixed emotions i cry everytime, her real added in pictures and home videos play.This death never should of happen, she was a young spiring singer, who had so much to offer.she will forever be missed!Selena.....TV Movie of The Week? - Ray2
On the recommendation of a friend I finally sat down to watch a movie that I already knew the ending of...Yes she dies. I must say I struggled to watch the first 90 minutes of this movie.Why you ask because I don't think it was very good ,it had that TV Movie of the week feel to it, which I didn't like.Lopez proformed well with the character...but it just didn't have the quality and depth of the Biopics of today.The last 30 minutes of the movie I found were quite good and had a whole different feel altogether, it was almost like I was watching a different movie.Overall I wouldn't recommend this movie my self it just didn't do it for me.
