CRITICS OF "How Stella Got Her Groove Back"

Boxoffice Magazine

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

June 05, 2002

Resource

Rolling Stone

Delivers guilt-free escapism about pretty people having wicked-hot fun in pretty places.

May 11, 2001

TheWorldJournal.com

The "Groove" is on the move in Sullivan's ethnically snappy and exotic May-December romancer. Bassett and Diggs make for a sizzling couple

June 07, 2003

ReelViews

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

January 01, 2000

Cincinnati Enquirer

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

October 15, 2002

Film Quips Online

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

February 08, 2003

Resource

Spirituality and Practice

This fine and funny film proves that a love that nurtures fills an emptiness that nothing else can fill.

March 02, 2002

Resource

Sight and Sound

Stella's groove, like the film itself, doesn't run deep.

March 05, 2002

Resource

San Francisco Chronicle

I'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.

January 01, 2000

Resource

Globe and Mail

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

April 12, 2002

Los Angeles Times

Stella 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.

February 14, 2001

Resource

Detroit News

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