Based on a novel by Terry McMillan, this weepy melodrama about four African American women and the men who wronged them became an instant cultural phenomenon when it was released back in 1995. It's easy to see why Exhale struck a nerve: the movie boasts an attractive cast of African American actresses and personalities, including Whitney Houston, Angela Bassett, and Lela Rochon. Unfortunately, though, Exhale sags under the weight of its soapy, crisis of the week plotting and relentlessly cheery "you go, girl!" optimism. And African American men, cast here as insensitive lovers and pigheaded materialists, get the very short end of the feminist stick. Perhaps moviegoers were simply responding to the brilliant soundtrack by R&B superstar Babyface, who provided the movie's only real groove. --Ethan Brown

Enjoyable movie January 30, 2010
CD music collector (Chicago, Illinois)
This movie was well made and was enjoyable. The soundtrack is also very good. Whitney Houston does a good job acting along with the other cast.

I think this is a really good movie and especilly the acting. Gotta love Angela Bassett and Whitney. This movie points out no matter what the situation friends can always depend on one another, be there for one another to help get each other through the ups and downs. This movie also speaks to every woman heart soul and whoever been in situation like this women. A unforgettable movie.
 Disappointed by acting, overall lack of strength in characters March 10, 2009

I finally saw this film in its entirety yesterday. I had heard the hype years ago, when I was in HS, but never got to watch it. As I occasionally like "chick flicks", I gave it a try. First, the acting was very mechanical and distracting. The cast has a mix of experience, which may be the cause of some of this. It all felt a little theatrical, and contrived, and I was not impressed by the portrayal of the women. Several times it is remarked that a man is necessary for happiness. While I am happy for 10 years with my girlfriend, I think it sends an inappropriate message to women, generally. I am not sure this film would have even survived now, as our cultural and professional landscape and priorities have changed since then. I am a bit disapppointed, but glad I saw it, as it was one of the first time, that African American talent dominated an all female cast-which was long overdue.
Good movie February 26, 2009
