Reviews


78
Austin Chronicle - Russell Smith
The filmmakers go to obvious pains to add a bit of nutritive value to their sweet, frothy confection.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
For once, with How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Hollywood offers a love story that concentrates on the simple nuances of the romance rather than smothering us in an overly- melodramatic narrative featuring old boyfriends, jealousy, and hard-to-swallow misunderstandings.
75
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
Whether you regard Stella's getting her groove back as a feminist battle cry or as a silly wish-fulfillment fantasy, the movie delivers guilt-free escapism about pretty people having wicked-hot fun in pretty places.
70
The New York Times - Stephen Holden
The movie, adapted by Terry McMillan from her semi-autobiographical novel, is pointedly boundary-breaking in its positive portrayal of a May-September relationship between a younger man and an older woman.
63
Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
How Stella Got Her Groove Back tries its best to turn a paperback romance into a relationship worth making a movie about, but fails.
