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

Neptune's Daughter
"Stella" made you sympathize with her and her dealing with being fired and having to absorb the fact that she had reached a turning point in her life. I loved the idea that out of darkness she was able to see the light and seize her job loss as an opportunity to take her life in a new direction. I found it empowering how she dealt with her job loss, the death of her best friend and trying to deal with the external/internal conflict of dating a much younger man. The film reinforces how much of our own destiny is within our control and how the decisions we make impact our lives for better or worse. The film reinforces that out of the ashes the Phoenix can, shall, and will rise again. Plus, it was funny! Highly recommended!

Angela bassett is a beautiful 40 year old dynamo who has been on the go her entire life. Whoopi is her good friend who goes on a vacation to Jamaica, and Stella meets a 20 year old Winston Shakespeare. They fall in lust, and then feelings become deeper. I would definitely recommend this film to anybody looking for a warm fuzzy feeling.
