Through good times and bad, Stella and Delilah have always had each other. Now, Stella's so busy building a life that she's forgotten how to really live. But Delilah is about to change all that. What starts as a quick trip to Jamaica, end as an exhilarating voyage of self discovery as Stella learns to open her heart and find love - even if it's with a man 20 years her junior.

Top Critics Reviews

Consider this the big-screen equivalent of a beach read: Just turn off your brain and wallow in whatever turn-ons -- Whoopi and whoopee -- Stella offers.

I never felt Stella and Winston were on the same wavelength, that they could share their lives, that it would be a good idea for them to try.

fresh:
Stella may be frothy and paper-thin, but it's also another great success for star Angela Bassett, who transforms the film into an infomercial for her considerable abilities.

fresh:
Delivers guilt-free escapism about pretty people having wicked-hot fun in pretty places.

rotten:
The movie meanders on and on, like a bad sexual dream, until you finally wake up mumbling: Stella, please: leave that groove thang alone.
