wait to exhale be guide thoroughly by a hot soundtrack from begin to end . it be also compliment by sharply shot scene and attractive locale . however and much of this be waste on poor character development . without likeable character and this plot sink quickly and doesn not recover . what should be show be complex identity that the woman have and but instead viewer be show superficial confusion of the woman which make them out to be dumb and non rational lead lady . while the movie be suppose to highlight the woman and and have male a support character and the plot so demonize the men that even the nice men such a gregory hines and wesley snipe seem entirely out of place and more token goodness than believeable character . bad of all and be some vastly misplace and undesirable scene and which i honestly hope be either more deeply probe in the book and or not part of the book at all . for instance and why be the fact that gloria former man be gay or bi sexual even remotely important to this script . clearly the answer be that it isn not . gloria character do not need that type of nonsense to provide a background that she could work with . why the director do not see this and i do not know . weak film and waste of act talent by wonderful actress like angela bassett and and a brutal waste of an excellent soundtrack by babyface . 4/10 .
