A pleasant if undemanding piece of work that is diverting to sit through though it won't stand up to any kind of rigorous examination.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
You want the movie to stomp and rejoice and cry like a fool; instead it meanders and lollygags, occasionally flaring up, then sputtering again.
Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle

This sister-celebratory adaptation of Terry McMillan's best-selling book is frequently delightful.
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Rotten
The male-bashing taken to an extreme in Waiting to Exhale is starting to seem a little like crack for the female psyche, exhilarating in the short term but ultimately crippling and dangerous.
