If this movie were supposed to be serious, it failed. But, several scenes are laugh out loud funny. One favorite is Bernadine's fit where she gathers up all her husband's clothing, throws it in the BMW, and finally lights it all... Full review

Predictable, full of every soppy sad tragic story you've seen on the soaps. You know who is going to sleep with whom, you know they shouldn't, you know what the outcome will be. You could write the dialogue yourself, if... Full review

There is always a sense of freedom, when the untold story is finally told. It is rare for a story evolving around black women, is told with the togetherness, and not playing to stereotypes of what everyone wants them to be.... Full review

Set in Phoenix, ``Waiting to Exhale'' focuses on four middle- and upper-middle-class women: strong but bitter Savannah (Whitney Houston); streak-of- rage Bernadine (Angela Bassett), whose husband has just left her for a white co-worker; sweet, overweight Gloria (Loretta Devine), whose son has to deal with his father being gay; and pretty, naive Robin (Lela Rochon), who admits, ``My weakness is pretty boys with big sticks. ...

Los Angeles Times
The best and funniest stuff in "Waiting to Exhale" is the women's acerbic outlook on the sexual predilections of the men they become entangled with. Grounded in a smooth, wall-to-wall soundtrack written by Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds and performed by numerous artists, "Waiting to Exhale" is easy listening for the eyes if you're in the mood and aren't too demanding. ...

He treated me like a lady,'' says Whitney Houston's Savannah about an apparently nice guy who turns out to be just another dog in Waiting to Exhale , an adaptation of Terry McMillan's 1992 best-seller about four African-American women. McMillan and Bass have retained the book's bawdy humor and joyful air of just-between-us-girls conspiracy. ... Full Review

Newsweek
What saves "Waiting to Exhale" from terminal clunkiness is its ability to see the humor in all this misplaced yearning. Boy-crazy Robin is the blindest, careering from cracksnorting Troy (Mykelti Williamson) to pudgy, clumsy Michael (Wendell Pierce) to old unreliable Russell (the actor named Leon). ... Full Review
