Leonard Maltin Summary for Waiting
to Exhale
| Four black women can't seem to find decent men in their lives;
this may be because most men are jerks. A cinematic equivalent to easy-listening soul
radio, this grows increasingly dreary as it eases along its redundant path. Based on the
popular novel by Terry McMillan. Omnipresent music supervised by Kenneth ``Babyface''
Edmonds. Wesley Snipes and Kelly Preston appear unbilled. ** |
Memorable Quotes from Waiting To Exhale
Gloria: Would you like to have dinner with us
tonight? It's just leftovers. Collard greens and corn bread, some candied yams, a little
potato salad, fried chicken, peach cobbler and a few slices of ham.
Marvin: I would love to, but I've got so much to do around here. Maybe
some other time.
Gloria: To be honest, I don't have no business eating any of it as big as
I am.
Marvin: My wife was a big woman too. I like a woman with some meat on her
bones.
Bernadine: The worst thing is that he made me move out
here where my children are in school with only one other black kid so they won't be
improperly influenced. Well, guess what John, YOU'RE the motherfuckin' improper influence!
Get your shit! Get your shit! And, get out!
Troy: You black bitches are all the same.
Robin: Bitch?
Troy: Y'all always complaining about how nobody don't want your ass,
don't nobody know how to treat ya! Then you meet a man, a brother, with genuine interest
in ya, and you gotta act simple. Then you wonder why we date white women.
Robin: A white woman can have your sorry ass!
Bernadine: I give you 11 fucking years of my life and you're
telling me you're leaving me for a white woman?
John Sr.: Would it help if she was black?
Bernadine: No. It would help if you were black.
Gloria: Your father's coming home on Tuesday.
Tarik: And? First of all, he ain't my father, he's my daddy; there's a
big damn difference.
