Insipid "biopic" -- family-authorized to make sure that nothing too tangy intrudes -- about the tejano singing star and Grammy winner, a rags-to-riches success story ("We think she's the next Gloria Estefan!") abruptly halted by homicide. Lopez, lip-synching to original recordings, rises well above exhilaration and to within a step stool of ecstasy. For brief moments, she elevates the entire (admittedly lightweight) puff piece.

Somehow, they made a film even worse than Selena's crappy, baby pop music. (Seriously folks, her "songs", and I use that term loosely, make Shakira seem like Janis Joplin crossed with Aretha Franklin) The movie is little more than crappy melodrama infused with Lopez's awful acting. The father daughter conflict reminds me of an angst-ridden teen show, not a serious film. Meanwhile, there is scant entertainment, and the dialogue is terrible. Just a bad picture all the way around.

Having never heard anything by the titular artist that this movie depicts, I have to take the film completely on its own merits. As a film, Selena fails due to its over reliance on melodrama, and the need to include lengthy musical numbers that left me looking at my watch. On the positive side the acting is competent; Jennifer Lopez turns in a surprisngly efficient performance, as does Edward James Olmos. But even their best efforts barely make this film watchable. Pass on this.

Hopefully there's a circle in hell for directors of by-the-numbers biopics. There are far worse movies than this out there, but most of the worse ones are also more interesting than this stunningly generic romp. Lopez is okay though.

straightforward by the numbers biopic, but interesting and compelling. helped to make JLo a star.

I saw this way too many times in Spanish class. Jennifer Lopez at perhaps her least annoying, though.
