Selena (1997) starring Jennifer Lopez, Edward James Olmos, Jon Seda. Abraham (Olmos) is the patriarch of a Mexican-American family living in a gringo neighborhood. After he hears his young daughter Selena sing, he decides to buy instruments and start a family band. The going is rough at first (of course), but out of his dreams is born the Hispanic singing sensation Selena (Lopez). Whether you like the movie or not will probably depend on whether you like Jennifer Lopez, and I'm kind of on the fence about her. The film is pretty much a standard rags-to-riches biopic, until the shocking climax. The subtitles are generally good. Grade: B-
