90For all its simplicity, however, the film is entertaining, even uplifting, with Lopez giving a stellar, confectionary performance.
-
80Selena is in part a completely predictable Latino soap opera that should satisfy those who complain they aren't making movies like they like used to.
-
60But the film soars when the stunning Jennifer Lopez beams and struts her stuff in a series of exhilarating performance sequences; she's a glitzy, thrilling icon a la the made-over Olivia Newton-John of Grease.
-
50Missing is a sense of the interior life behind the smiling face that Selena showed the world.
