Customer Reviews of How Stella Got Her Groove Back (Spanish) (Sub)

Boring, uninteresting, and dreadful that's what one reviewer is saying...
As much as Angela Bassett, Whoopi Goldberg and Taye Diggs work together as a great cast, this film is boring, which they can't help because they're all wonderful actresses and actors, but the plot is just dull and boring. <
> <
>The movie begins with a successful stockbroker in San Francisco, who decides from the urging of her best friend, "Delilah," played by Whoopi Goldberg, that she needs a long-awaited vacation. So, while watching tv, she sees a commercial advertising travel to Jamaica, so "Stella," played by Angela Bassett decides that as much as she deserves a vacation, finally succumbs to her best-friend's suggestion and flies down there and meets her best friend, "Deliliah." <
> <
>The basic premise is a 40 year old woman falls in love with a much younger man, (old enough to be her son, no less) whose only 20. The 20 year old is named Winston Shakespeare, a native Jamaican, who decides to date "Stella." <
> <
>At first, "Stella" (Angela Bassett) decides that dating a 20 year old man is robbing the cradle, but going against her better judgment, decides she'll throw caution to wind and date "Winston." <
> <
>From the beginning of the film to the end the plot is boring, dull and uninteresting. <
> <
>The characters like the plot are basic and boring. There's no real drama such as a hurricane taking place, or anything of that nature. While, the actors and actresses are talented not even their great acting abilities and personalities could save this film from being a complete failure, in my humble and honest opinion. <
> <
>To recite a classic cliche, "Not even the best popcorn can save this film" and it's because of this that I give the film the lowest rating possiblg of only 1 star, which is extremely unusual for me because I almost always give films a 5-star rating because I enjoy so many movies, but this film just wasn't worth anything more than 1-star. <
> <
>Bottome line; You're much better off renting or buying another film. <

How Shawn got his snooze on. For diehard Angela Basset fans only.
Shawn got his snooze on watching How Stella Got her Groove back A great looking Angela Bassett strolling around the beaches of Jamaica in sexy swimwear just wasn't enough to keep me awake during this boring movie adapted from one of the weakest Terry McMillan novels. This movie was so forgettable that I saw it over a month ago and I kept forgetting to write the review for it. <
>Angela Bassett is Stella, a successful black stockbroker who thinks she's about to be promoted. In spite of her stellar work record, her bosses instead fire her citing financial troubles. (Plothole Ahead - why would a business that's in trouble fire one of their best employees? Wouldn't it have been smart to keep Stella there to turn the company around? Oh well, Terry needed a reason for Stella to go on vacation no matter how weak it was.) Tired and frustrated with the direction of her life, the divorced single mom decides to go to Jamaica for a vacation with a friend (Whoopi Goldberg) There she gets her hair braided and meets a hunky young chef (Taye Diggs) and over the slow course of the movie they have one of the most boring romances ever filmed. (does anyone in Hollywood know what PACING is?) <
>Soon after, Stella returns to the states and her man follows her. Stella continues to pursue the romance despite resistance from her 12-year-old son. The bosses at her old job want her back to work for them, Her new younger lover wants her to follow her dreams. At the end of the movie Stella gets her groove back with her younger man and decides to start her own trading business. Boring, boring boring. <
>The onscreen adaptation of Stella has all the elements of a great movie. The cinematography is great, showing us stunning visuals of Jamaica. The beaches were beautiful, the resorts looked like places I wanted to go. The casting is great; Angela Bassett and Whoopi Goldberg are strong enough to carry the movie. But the movie falls apart because the story is so predictable. Stella lacks the heart and soul of a true "Terry McMillan" story; it's the same by the numbers May/December romance story used in one of those horrible made for TV adaptations of a Danielle Steele or a Jackie Collins novel. By about the half hour mark the movie was losing its groove for me. <
>Angela Bassett gives it her all, but the weak script prevents her from giving a great performance. The whole movie is a waste of her time. Taye Diggs was looks great but his acting is horrible. He has absolutely no chemistry with Bassett and his Jamaican Accent goes on and off throughout the movie. In many scenes he's stiff and uneasy throwing off the romantic mood of the film. Whoopi Goldberg is just herself in this movie. She doesn't even act at all. Regina King is the only bright spot here. She plays her part extremely well overcoming the boring material. <
>If you're a romantic insomniac who wants to get your snooze on, Get into Stella's Groove. But if you're looking for a Black romance full of passion pick up Love Jones, Diary of a Mad Black Woman or How U Like me now. Those romances are full of passion and life. <

Disappointing
Hello. This is my review of the motion picture film 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back'. <
> <
>I'll start by saying that I misread the title of this film to be 'How Stella Got Her Groovy Back'. I have been a fan of Angela Basset's back since 1990's 'Kindergarten Cop' in which she played 'Stewardess'. Expecting an interesting insight into how she fashioned her back into the exquisite example of lumbar beauty that it is today, I was disappointed to see just another film about a San Francisco stock broker who is persuaded by her colorful New York girlfriend Delilah to take a well deserved, first-class vacation to Jamaica. How many of these films do we need? <
> <
>In all, a disappointing film. 5 stars.
