There is insufficient chemistry, more tension and fighting than romance, and no epiphanal moment to demonstrate that Stella has indeed gotten her groove back.

I never felt Stella and Winston were on the same wavelength, that they could share their lives, that it would be a good idea for them to try.

Top CriticGives Angela Bassett the full star treatment, and she gives it right back.

For the most part it is charming and endearing.

Women of all ages and races will undoubtedly cheer Stella on as she wrestles with the dilemma of falling in love with a younger man, and by doing so, gets her groove back ... baby.

A strong cast and solid tech credits fail to make the relationship believable.
01/01/00
It features so much in the way of awkward and contrived situations that even an extremely talented cast nearly flounders.

All formula gloss, a romance that tackles some difficult issues by missing them altogether.

In the best role since her Tina turn in What's Love Got to Do With It, Bassett is terrific and looks incredible in sexy swimsuits, jogging gear and evening wear.

Frankly, this is just like a very average TV movie except the cast is more expensive and the stunning Bassett glides through with inviolable class.

Playing strictly to the rafters, How Stella Got Her Groove Back is, nonetheless, entertaining, with its snappy dialogue, well-choreographed slapstick humor and talented cast.

There's only one thing missing from this story, and it's the main ingredient: conflict.
