"Whether you regard Stella's getting her groove back as a feminist battle cry or as a silly wish-fulfillment fantasy, the movie delivers guilt-free escapism about pretty people having wicked-hot fun in pretty places." ... Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When I think about movie(Stella got her groove back) like this one. It is always more going on than what we notice. From a critical cultural perspective. I see that the world is changing hands woman are becoming empowered, and making the most out of the declining economic times, while a lot of men has decided to play piggy back...I could say so many thing write now but I will leave it at that.
