Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

lisalacking I love watching Stella very much, it has so many lovable characters and it makes me laugh a lot. I think Ruth Jones is a great actress and writer and anything with her in has me hooked. The show is so realistic with such lovely people Id love to be part of it as an extra. I love the romances between Stella and her boyfriends especially Michael Jackson (Patrick Baladi another great actor I love to watch and very sexy). I liked how Stella and Michael hated each other at first and then when they fell in love it was magical. The show shows life as it is day after day with added spark love and plenty of laughter. I just wished there was another series after the sixth, or I hope Ruth Jones goes on to produce some else brilliant to watch.

SnoosReviews Off the back of her success with Gavin & Stacey, Ruth Jones created a new comedy drama, it's more serious than Gavin & Stacey, it has more depth and structure but it is remarkably clear how similar they are in so many ways. With longer episodes, more episodes in a series and an array of characters, Stella is a fantastic comedy which really stands on its own two feet.Ruth Jones plays Stella, a Welsh, out of luck in love, single mum to three kids. She has no man in her life, not much money but has an incredible upbeat personality and some cracking friends. The show follows Stella and her friends and family's lives, the ups, downs, trials and tribulations. It can make you laugh one minute and cry the next, no matter what is going on though; it is incredibly well made and will always make you feel good after watching.Stella's greatest aspect is its mix of memorable characters and the way they interact with each other. Not one single character in this show feels out of place, they all fit into their roles and feels like if they weren't involved the show would miss them! As with Gavin & Stacey, there are many flamboyant characters which have their own quirky ways with their own style of delivery, Aunty Brenda being one of these!The meaning I take from this show is that no matter how down life can make you feel and how situations can go against you, you can always have a positive outlook and response, and it's really your choice. Above all else, the importance of family and friendship is portrayed in Stella, and this is the focus point of the entire show.The only factor that has stopped me giving this top mark of 10/10 is that the later series are not as strong as the first couple. They are very good and as a series it has kept a consistent level of quality but it just misses out on 10/10.Ruth Jones has created something special in Stella and I don't think its gets the recognition that it deserves. As I write this, I have just finished watching Series 4 and I already cannot wait for series 5.9/10

Sara 'Chuckster' Bennett 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.

philip-thomas67 Stella is one of the best comedies I've seen in recent years. The characters are warm and believable as are the situations they find themselves in. I don't have a favourite character - they all have qualities of their own. Although I do find the relationship between Bobs and Daddy quirky and hilarious. I do worry though that because there is a particular Welsh sense of humour it may may not translate beyond the Welsh or people familiar with the Welsh,. Being Welsh myself I find the comedy laugh out loud funny - I grew up with the characters, in fact I think I may be one of them. Ruth Jones is a proved comedy writing talent and for my part she has surpassed Gavin and Stacey with Stella. To use a clumsy pun, Stella is stellar.
