Waiting To Exhale

The adaptation of Terry McMillan's best-selling novel, about four middle-class, African-American friends, and their continuing efforts to find Mr. Right. The story begins with Bernadine, whose husband John calmly announces that he's leaving her -- for a white woman. Furthermore, the wealthy John has been manipulating his finances, and leaves Bernadine virtually broke. But Bernie gets her revenge, in a rather "fiery" fashion. Then there's Savannah, who re-ignites a relationship with her ex-boyfriend, who's married with children. Meanwhile, dim Robin dates hordes of Mr. Wrongs before going back to Russell, who's also married. Will either come to her senses

      Waiting To Exhale (1995)

      This is one of my all time favourite 'chick flicks'. Just the tonic when your feeling low, choccies, comfy pj's and white wine.
