This movie won me over


... after what I thought was a rather weak first half hour or so (I need to give it another chance).

About the time the guitarist/husband guy came in, the story took on a whole new depth.

And my god what a horribly tragic ending for such a rising star and true talent. The opening scene being set in Houston got me to thinking of how we've gone from talent like Selena to no-talent hacks like beyonce in such a short time. That's awful.

Agreed. She was gone way too soon. The movie played out so well. By the time the ending came it was awfully tragic.

Totally agree... I saw this in the theater back in '97... had no idea who Selena was. I ended up going back to see the movie three more times with friends and family in tow every time. I have been a fan of Selena Quintanilla ever since. I love her.
