Top CriticThe movie meanders on and on, like a bad sexual dream, until you finally wake up mumbling: Stella, please: leave that groove thang alone.

Top CriticDelivers guilt-free escapism about pretty people having wicked-hot fun in pretty places.
05/11/01
Top CriticStella may be frothy and paper-thin, but it's also another great success for star Angela Bassett, who transforms the film into an infomercial for her considerable abilities.

Top CriticThe issues that arise from such a May/September male/female pairing are sensitively and intelligently explored.

Top CriticWomen 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.

Top CriticI 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 CriticI'm not denying that a 40-year- old woman might be self-conscious about going around with someone this young. But the subject isn't interesting or provocative enough to sustain an entire movie.
01/01/00
Top CriticMs. Bassett portrays this high-strung superwoman with such intensity that she makes her almost believable.

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