1. Less Selena than I was led to believe
2. I go in to these films with hope they will be good, I go in with the expectation, as I take in to most films, that they will be mediocre.
3. R&B captures an era, it possesses subtext, it's visually interesting, and it's one of the 30 best films of 2010 so far.
It not only exceeded expectations, it has much more depth than a film of its ilk tends to possess.
