Reviews for Selena
Top CriticJennifer Lopez ... elevates the film immensely with her radiant and energetic performance.
09/28/07
A well-meaning but bland and shallow salute to Selena.
09/17/07
What a biography. And what a screenplay.

In her first major, star-making role, Jennifer Lopez is compelling, but the rest of this showbiz biopic is shallow and excessively melodramatic, like most of Gregory Nava's films.

Lopez's commanding presence makes up for any of the script's shortcomings.
