Waiting to Exhale

Summary: Fun for white heterosexual males!
Review: I'm not gay, but I loved this movie. When Angela Bassett (foxy, foxy FOXY!) burned that car I jumped up and yelled "You go, girl!" and I almost knocked over my wine spritzer. My mom was like "shut up." I gave her the finger but she didn't see because she was upstairs on "the machine." She's invalid, but she just says she's resting. Screw her. Walk! Anyway, I wish I was Whitney Houston. I'd punch that Bobby Brown in the teeth and then sleep in satin. My life makes me cry... I'm still waiting to exhale...

Summary: An unafraid viewer willing to knock Whitney,
Review: i.e. someone who knows what good acting is and it ain't hers. Pathetic "viewers" from various places who can't even give a name, we know what type of losers they are, feel that they have to protect a movie because of political correctness when a movie, black or white, it's just plain bad. A great film will speak to people regardless of race and/or income bracket and those affected need not to have experienced what it's like to be a black woman, by the way, I feel that a majority of black women wouldn't say this film was a true representation of them.

Summary: Sweet, funny, heart-warming, touching, and romantic
Review: In my opinion, WAITING TO EXHALE is a sweet, funny, heart-warming, touching, and romantic movie. I thought that Savannah (Whitney Houston - THE BODYGUARD), Bernadine (Angela Bassett - WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT), Robin (Lela Rochon - BOOMERANG), and Gloria (Loretta Devine - THE HARD TRUTH) looked VERY beautiful in their fancy dresses. The dress that I liked the most was the one that Bernadine was wearing at the beginning of the film, which was when John (Michael Beach), her husband of 11 years, told her that he was leaving her for Kathleen (Kelly Preston), his bookkeeper. When I saw Bernadine lying awake, in her bed, crying, I thought that she looked VERY beautiful. In addition, I was deeply touched. This was because she had just been jilted by her husband. My favorite parts were when Bernadine got back at John and when she went to John's office, interrupted the meeting he was in, asked Kathleen if she could have a few words with John, slapped her, and yelled at John. Those parts REALLY made me smile and feel good. I thought that Angela Bassett's performance was just as good as it was in WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT. If you are a fan of Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Lela Rochon, or Loretta Devine, I HIGHLY recommend this movie.

Summary: waiting for the movie to get to the end
Review: it was not realy that good as i expected it to be but i wasn't disapointed too much. it's a realy human and realistic story so it's also sad and moving. bassett and houston raely are great in this movie but also the actresses who played robin and gloria were wonderful. i think it's amovie not everyone should see but if you feel in the modd for watching this kind of movie then do it. i was a little tire as i've watched this picture so i guess that's because it seemed never to end...

Summary: "No she di-uhn": A different type of review
Review: Okay, so I've read every review on this movie, and none of them touch upon the things that I (and most of my friends) personally think make this movie great. One might say this movie is man-bashing, woman-empowering, etc, etc, and while it IS about these things, I think that those aspects pale in comparison to why this movie is great for me: these women are such DIVAS, it's RIDICULOUSLY hilarious! The lines that come out of their mouths, and the situations that they get themselves into are utterly jaw-dropping, causing you to say "NO SHE DIDN'T" just say that! "No, she DIDN'T just do that!" "NO SHE DIDN'T" just have sex with a man and say "my body NEEDS this!" You are constantly left absolutely amazed with the boldness, brashness, and utter DIVA-ness of these crazy hoochie ghetto mamas, who do and say the things that you wouldn't dare do yourself. If you are into seeing beautiful black divas who know they da sh*t, work their bad-a** selves and shake their booties, and still come out clean without breakin their acrylic nails, then you will think this movie is off the hizzy. If you don't understand what I just meant when I said all that, then you probably won't appreciate the humor in these BLACK DIVAS!

Summary: A Terrific Ensemble Performance
Review: Terry McMillan is an incredible author, and she's terrific when it comes to juggling several subplots and interweaving them together to form a story. Waiting To Exhale is based on McMillan's novel by the same name.

This movie takes place within the course of a year - from one New Year's Eve to the next. It's about four black women who all have relationship problems involving their black significant others, and how they pull together to provide friendship and support for each other during these relationship woes. It would take a long time for me to describe the specifics behind their problems, but the one thing they have in common is their hatred of men, specifically black men.

The movie is an ensemble performance starring Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, and Lela Rochon. While they each get equal billing, I enjoyed Bassett's performance them most. She received an Oscar nomination for this role, and it was definitely well-earned.

Though the movie was advertised as a romantic comedy, it's more a movie about friendship, and how men may come and go but your friends will always be there to catch you when you fall. This is a very nice movie, and definitely worth a look.

Summary: "Waiting To Exhale"- A fascinating book.
Review: Terry McMillan is an outstanding fiction writer who wrote a fascinating book. She tells a story of four intelligent African American women who struggles in female-male relationships. I liked this book because she speaks in a language that anyone could understand and the stories she tells will sometimes make you laugh. Her stories are fiction, but seem so real. "Waiting To Exhale" is a book that almost everyone can relate to because most of us have been through good and bad relationships. END
