Harvard came out of the locker room and mounted an offensive surge. However, the Crimson could not capitalize and, gradually, Northeastern regained control. With four minutes remaining in the period, Husky forward Angela Scerra received a pass in the high slot and rifled a slap-shot past goalie Jen Bowdoin...
...that there is not a struggling welfare mama, sassy street-corner "ho" or domineering matriarch in sight. Indeed for all the predictable carping from black men about the supposed bashing of their sex in Exhale, it is middle-class black women who take the real beating. Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine and Lela Rochon play to a new black female stereotype that is in some ways more damaging than the ones it replaces: the young professional woman who can excel in a demanding job, be a successful single mother and support her aging parent, yet who is abjectly clueless...
...much hyped movie, "Waiting to Exhale" is based on the best-selling, and better written, novel by Terry McMillan.

Also featured are big-screen talents Wesley Snipes, who plays Bernadine's post-marital love interest, and Gregory Hines, who plays Marvin, Gloria's last chance at romance...

Starring Angela Bassett and Whitney Houston, this is the familiar story of a quartet of young females looking for love and identity. Director Forest Whitaker ties his film's women to the railroad tracks of caprice and invites us to watch as a betraying beau comes chugging toward them. But Waiting to Exhale doesn't have the idiot vigor to become a camp classic like the movie Valley...
