wait to exhale wait and and wait and and wait and and wait . you get the point . wait to exhale and forrest whitaker take on terry mcmillan popular book and have a rather popular follow upon it release in 1995. it be package brilliantly and cross over into the popular music scene with a blockbuster soundtrack feature it star whitney houston . however and a leonard maltin say it so beautifully and this film ultimately remind one too much of the easy listening jazz that play under nearly every scene . wait to exhale have the potential to be an interesting movie . it feature a nice ensemble that manage to have good chemistry while also allow certain performer to step into the limelight and really dominate certain scene . unfortunately and in the end and the movie be a repetitive drone . it tell the story of four african american female ( play by angela bassett and whitney houston and loretta divine and and lela rochon ) a they struggle to find the men in life that can satisfy there need . the only problem and in the world of this movie and men be nothing but complete as hole who wouldn not know the word feeling if they look it up in the dictionary . how can this film possibly go anywhere when it screenwriters have make men so incredibly unredeemable that nothing can change . for the first 45 minute and the film be slightly enjoyable . however and a it continue on into it 2 hour and plus running time . it begin to feel like deja vu . the woman keep put themselves in identical situation to those they have experience in the past . and as much a they talk about it in slow or sultry voice over and they do not seem to learn squat . it like the soundtrack music . slightly soothe and enjoyable and and easy to digest . but too slow and pointless to listen to for very long . wait to exhale in the end be nothing more then a boringly pointless film that waste the potential it have with the cast . be the film give more of a focal point and and a more distinct narrative line and perhaps it could have be a good film . but everyone on board apparently miss the memo that . film be well when they have a plot and a purpose . d .
