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-
