Saw Waiting To Exhale.
4 * movie! A great cast, Basset, Huston, And 2 Beautiful newcomers
move over Whitney, This was a story that showed very
strong black women, who have their ups & downs with
relationships. It could of been anyone, but the author
used her own life experience which was great and
interesting! Funny, poignant, real....Great music too!

| 987.2 | A Question.... | TRUCKS::BEATON_S | I Just Look Innocent | Mon Jan 29 1996 11:23 | 24 |
I finally saw this movie last night and I thought it was worth 4*'s out
of 5.
Here in Blighty, this movie has been plugged very much as a woman's
movie.... Eg. in the cinema, the trailers for other new movies did not
include the likes of Heat or Se7en, etc. Which is a bit of a pity,
because for one thing, most of the guys who could learn something from
this movie will miss it all together.
(One guy, sat in front of me, had obviously been "dragged along" by his
better-half... I know this because he made a big deal of unwrapping his
sweets (candy) and then holding up the wrappers to read/study them.)
The other thing that this movie does not have going for it (as "The
Bodyguard" did have) is the fact that Whitney Houston has dropped down
the popularity ranks in the music charts in the UK.
Anyway, to the point of this note: I thought I heard someone say on
the radio the other day, that a spin-off tv series is aleady planned...
Can anyone in this conference confirm or deny this ?

I'm afraid I can not share your enthusiasm for this film. Nor can my
girlfriend for that matter. Each to their own and everything, but I
hated this film so much that it was a struggle to get to the end, poor
in every department. The most important thing I learned from this film
is not to recommend it to anyone.
dickie. 1/2 out of *****

| 987.4 | another thumbs up ... | MARLIN::COLE | Mon Feb 12 1996 18:59 | 3 | |
I liked the movie ... i just wish that it had more of a plot. And I
wish they better explained how these 4 women (from 4 different
lifestyle/worlds) came to be such close friends.
