Based on Terry McMillan's best-selling novel, How Stella Got Her Groove Back stars Angela Bassett as a 40-year-old, Manhattan stock trader and single mom whose static life gets a jolt during a vacation with her pal (Whoopi Goldberg) in Jamaica. Sparks fly when Bassett meets a 20-year-old stud (Taye Diggs) who has an ambivalent career path but a great body and lots of sexual energy to burn. After some prodding by Goldberg's warm-funny secondary character, Bassett gets it on with the fellow--and proceeds to worry about what she's doing with a man half her age. The film is most enjoyable in its sunny, exotic early scenes and becomes more formulaic once the unlikely couple transports their will-we-stay-together-or-won't-we tensions back to the Big Apple. But director Kevin Rodney Sullivan goes out of his way to make a movie unabashedly thick with fantasy and wish-fulfillment for female audiences (it's Diggs who reveals a lot more flesh than the regal Bassett). This is a Saturday-night movie all around. --Tom Keogh

LOVE September 6, 2007
If you like love and the adventure of love this is the movie to see. It has everything great actors, comedy, love, family issues and tragedy.
 Great Relaxful Movie June 24, 2007
I LUV this movie. The beach is my favorite place and when I watch this it takes me back there. It is a good relaxful movie. The only part I don't like is when her best friend dies. That part I fast forward. I really don't see what they couldn't have left it out. It would have been a great movie without it. All in all it is a good movie. Some really funny parts :)

This film was not what I expected. It was so plain. I was about ready to turn it off.
Others may like it though.
