| | Amazon.ca: DVD: How Stella Got Her Groove Back [IMPORT] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | With its swaying palms and breezy ocean vistas, as vicariously relaxing as anything on film, How Stella Got Her Groove Back starts like a study of rejuvenation, a restorative experience for both the title character and the viewer. |
 | | But like the book on which it was based, Kevin Rodney Sullivan's film loses some impact when it retreats home to the United States and becomes a melodrama, tackling such diverse topics as disease, family, and May-December romance. |
 | | To be sure, Angela Bassett and Whoopi Goldberg bring oodles of sisterly chemistry and screen presence, and Taye Diggs, in his film debut, looks exquisitely at ease as a studly charmer. |
