Even though Selena Quintanilla's beloved biopic was released exactly two decades ago, the late singer's husband Chris Perez had yet to see it. When Chris came across the movie while channel-surfing on Feb. 6, he decided to finally watch and share his thoughts in real time with his thousands of Facebook followers.
Naturally, there were a few things the movie got wrong. In a few posts, Chris pointed out certain timeline errors. For the most part, however, the movie was fairly true to life. For example, his bandmates actually trashed that hotel room and those Selena fans actually tried to tow her tour bus — resulting in the broken bumper they said they would hang in their garage! Though Chris didn't end up making it through the entire movie given its painful ending, he was ultimately impressed by the movie, and Jennifer Lopez's performance in particular.
