Selena Quintanilla Perez will always live on in my heart!! Jennifer Lopez portrayed Selena the best she could and she did one hell of a job!! Jennifer is an awesome actress and my idol!! : )Selena needed her justice and Jennifer gave it to her with a flawless performance in the movie. Flawless meaning she did her best portrayal of Selena that she could and I don't think anyone else could have done it any better!! If you like Jennifer's performance in this movie you should really check out her other movies the are really something. I recommend all of her movies because they are all very good! Selena is an awesome movie and it should be higher than a 6 average, it deserves a 10 and I'm sure more people agree with me!

This is the type of film that could've been made as a TV movie (with different actors) by being so cheesy with It's drama. Not that it is a bad depiction of the late pop singer Selena Perez. Far from it. Jennifer Lopez embodies her character very well and makes this film nearly viewable. But there is a problem- the drama is not well thought out so stuff that was made for the screen can be depicted good (a good example of good made up drama is Man on the Moon). So what comes out is a story with no real vital core, just a sad ending (and most people know the ending before the thing ends). Still, it might be worth watching (mainly if you are stuck watching it in Spanish class) if you are a fan or just want to see Lopez embody a character. Edward James Olmos appears as Selena's over-controlling and over-dramatic father. B-

This is the heart-felt story of 23-year-old Selena Quintanilla-Perez,played flawlessly by Jennifer Lopez. Selena was a Texas born singer of Tejano music and going from a cult attraction to breaking into an international phenomenon. How factual this film is can be questionable; but very interesting nonetheless.As the rising star was showing brilliance, she was gunned down by the very president of her own fan club in 1995. Shown through flashbacks her father Abraham(Edward James Olmos), a typical stage father/manager, finally realizes how enormously talented and loved his daughter is. There is the extreme closeness of her family, the marriage to guitarist Chris Perez(Jon Seda)and the snowballing success being ended by tragedy(only dealt with via taped news reports). Actual Selena concert footage is used; and this film overflows with music. Enough can't be said of Lopez in her portrayal...she is so enjoyable, lovable and s-e-x-y! Others featured in the cast: Jackie Guerra, Constance Marle, Jacob Vargas, Rebecca Lee Mezza, Alex Meneses and Sal Lopez.

oh my gosh. i watched this movie in Spanish class last week, and before this, i had never heard of selena. after watching the film, i have now downloaded about 26 songs of selena's and bought the movie for myself. i absolutely loved this movie from beginning to end. jennifer lopez did an amazing job. i couldn't tell which parts were the real selena and which ones were lopez. all of the actors/actress in this film were wonderful. i fell in love with the family from the moment i saw them. they're all so believable and i actually forgot i was watching a movie. i felt every bit of happiness and joy and pain that they experienced. i fell in love with selena. if lopez portrayed her accurately (i wouldn't know because i had no idea who she was before i watched the film) then she must have been one incredible person. its just so sad her life was cut so short. at the very end of the film, when they threw the white rose on the stage i thought.. oh no! something's gonna happen. the next thing you see is her on a stretcher and a radio announcer's voice saying that she had been shot. that moment killed me. i started bawling right in the middle of class! i loved her from beging to end and to see her die that way at such a young age is heartbreaking. i was only 5 when she died, so i didn't know about it, but her fans at that time must have been mortified. if jennifer portrayed her correctly, the real selena must have been..(besides and outstanding singer) a truly wonderful human being. the tribute at the end is amazing. i loved the candlelit vigil for her at the end with the real pictures and clips of her. i love how the movie was focused of the celebration of her life and how much she accomplished in a short amount of time and not her tragic death. for that many people to be so affeccted by her death.. well that must mean that she was really truly and incredible human being, and she is missed by many and will never be forgotten.
