I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I loved the first two series of Stella, as they were extremely funny and shocking (in places!!) and in this new series, it was good to see that Ruth Jones has taken a more sentimental approach to her story telling of life in Pontiberry... There have been many moments when I have had tears in my eyes as a response to the many love-stories at its heart. Maybe I have become a sentimental fool in my nearing 40 age range, but I think that Ruth Jones and the cast of Stella have got it spot on! Just what Friday night needs... I hope that she will be continuing to write story lines for the existing characters, and it would be so lovely to see some of the old characters returning (Rob? he was gorgeous!!). It is really evident that the cast get on really well, as it shines through on the screen.

I happened across the dvds of series 1 by chance, and fell in love. With members of my family from Wales, and a firm love for the country, I felt as though I was at home. The sense of humour is fall-on-your-knees funny and the characters are brilliantly drawn. Every minute is a gem and I am about to embark on a hunt for further series. I love the reality of the storyline and that nothing is too far-fetched. A special mention for Daddy, who has me crying with laughter, and the lovely Welsh scenery is beautifully included.This is a brilliant series and I hope it runs longer than Gavin & Stacy. I hope Ruth Jones gets recognition for her writing / acting.

I absolutely love this show, I was a tad hesitant to watch Stella to begin with because I thought no way could it be anywhere as good as Gavin and Stacey but in my opinion it's better and that's saying something as I love Gavin and Stacey. Ruth Jones is an amazing actress and writer and the story line is incredible, it's funny, it has serious issues and most of it is set in my home town the Rhondda valleys. The characters are so lovable and you can't not like one even if I do prefer a few of the characters more than others. You have Paula and Dai the naughty couple, Stella and her childhood sweetheart Rob and her new young, hunky boyfriend Sean, you have Stella's ex husband Carl and his new wife Nadine and also Carl and Stella's children Ben and Emma and also Stella's son Luke who is also Robs son and then you also have Emma's husband Sunil and their child Abra the storyline also follows Sunhils family and a lot of other well liked characters in the small town of Pontyberry. It's definitely worth watching, I have many times and still can't get enough of it.

Stumbling upon the series Stella has been an absolute delight! There is not one detail of this series that I don't adore. From the quirky characters, to the delightful dialogue, to the beautiful scenic villages - I'm in love with it all. When Gilmore Girls went off the air in the states, I thought I'd never find another series like it - with Stella, I have found that void. Ruth Jones is absolutely brilliant. She is a true gem and delight. I have repeatedly watched the first series and agonize in anticipation for the commissioned two series to follow. I can't wait to see what quirky, outlandish characters are added, where each of the story lines go and what new paths they lead this fan down. If Ruth Jones ever decides in adding an outlandish, American hillbilly to the characters, I certainly hope she considers ringing me up!!
