How Stella Got Her Groove Back
1998
Head to Jamaica with Stella (Angela Bassett), an unfulfilled career woman accompanied by her sickly friend, Whoopi Goldberg. On a sunny island oozing reggae rhythm, sparks fly between Stella and younger man Taye Diggs. It's opportunity knocking with one caveat: Stella must decide whether their attraction is merely a fling or something that will last after the American Express bills are paid.
Sometimes you have to break the rules to free your heart.
