Waiting to Exhale

Whitney Houston and Angela Bassett star in this funny and touching film about four women who find strength through their rare and special relationship. Savannah, Bernadine, Robin, and Gloria are all searching for the real thing: true love. Bernadine thought she had it, until her husband left her for another woman. Savannah and Robin are successful in business but their love lives are non-existent. And divorced Gloria is just getting back in the game by flirting with her new, very eligible neighbor. Based on Terry McMillan's best-selling novel, Forest Whitaker’s directorial debut is an ode to the power of Black female friendship.
