Selena (1997)
Great concept, annoying characters
Love the soundtrack, beyond that it is hard to say anything positive about this movie. I was first soured when before the film went into production they put on a publicity stunt wherein they allegedly were going to tour the country looking for the perfect Hispanic young girl to portray Selena, all along knowing Jennifer Lopez had already been chosen. The local news stations had footage of countless thousands of young Hispanic girls waiting in line to audition. Truly dishonest! As for the actors and actresses, hard to say who was more annoying, Jennifer Lopez and her silly giggle and over-acting or Jackie Guerra, the overweight sister and drummer of the band who never missed a scene where you didn't want to slap her for her annoying portrayal of sister Susie.
Jon Seda and Constance Marie are the only redeeming characters, playing their roles without the annoyance factor.
You can save time and just buy Selena's Greatest hits CD since the only reason to watch this film is for the music.
