Product Description
From the humble Texas barrio roots to stardom's center stage. Music, family, triumph, and joy abound in this dynamic story of the beloved, ill-fated singer whose following continues to grow. It's a story of a girl who had a spirit to believe in a dream and the courage to make it come true.

Gregory Nava (Why Do Fools Fall In Love?) directs this more-or-less official film biography of the late Mexican-American singer, Selena Quintanilla Perez (the film is coproduced by her father), which emphasizes sentimentality over conflict and plays down the star's horrific death at the hands of a deranged fan. Jennifer Lopez is quite good as Selena, whose roots we come to know through the story of her father (Edward James Olmos), a Corpus Christi singer who was rejected by white audiences. The script focuses primarily on Selena's inspiring rise, and it tries to muster some sense of urgent conflict over not-particularly-contentious issues (such as her relationship with a guitarist). But Olmos does a fine job portraying the elder Perez as a possessive sort, and the music and general buoyancy of Lopez's performance are infectious. The unavoidable subject of Selena's killer--a woman who happened to be the president of her fan club--is considerably and oddly downplayed. --Tom Keogh

 Best movie ever! May 21, 2009
B. McGraw (Marktbergel, Germany)
I found this movie on Amazon, and screamed with joy. This is a hard to come by movie when living overseas, and it is one of my favorite Jennifer Lopez movies! The price was unbeatable!

debo lisa (cedar hill tx)
I bought 2 of these movies one for myself and the other for my daughter she loves this movie also. J Lo was so convincing as Selena I almost forgot that it was J lo playing her.
 Emotional. February 9, 2009
ADRIENNE MILLER (TENNESSEE)
Selena is a sad but lovely biopic about the life of the singer. Jennifer Lopez is wonderful as Selena, this is still her best performance in a film! She looks and acts like her, she is so appealing and gracious. The ending is bittersweet, get the tissues out. I highly recommend this hidden gem, enjoy!
Wonderful movie for a tragic story October 6, 2008
Sam (Council Bluffs, IA United States)
I watched this with my wife not really knowing who Salena was. The acting was great for the most part(the actor playing Salena's boyfriend/husband was sub-par) and the story kept me watching more. It is a clean movie that the whole family can watch and enjoy.
