    HMMM, THIS MOVIE WAS OK BUT I DID NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT BLACK WOMEN MOVE UP ONLY WITH THEIR BODIES. BULLSHIT.

    The best part is when Angela Bassett sets her husbands things and car on fire! Every woman's fantasy of how to get revenge on a man who is dumped her for a younger model.

    This movie is a must-see for Gregory Hines and Angela Bassett fans. Forest Whitaker really knew what he was doing when he directed this film. Wesley Snipes also has a small part in this movie. Definitely one worth watching.

    Bernadine: I give you 11 f****** 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!

    Really don't see what all the fuss is about this movie, yeah it is realistic as to the four women's lives, but I found it to be boring. The music was good and so was the storyline, just needed to move faster.
    Best part was when Bernadine took all her husbands belongings out of the house & lit them & his car on fire!! I'm sure all girls would have loved to do that at some point in life. Also loved Loretta Devine's character.... "I hope he's not watching me walk away....... " "Oh yeah, he's watching me!! I thought she was hilarious.

    This was a good movie and well directed. What I didn't like was all the "sleeping around" the single ladies were doing. Aside from that, I can see why many women like this film.

    This was alright. A little sappy. But the music was good. And they are all good actors. Even Whitney.

    True to life movies aren't always going to be spectacular so Waiting was a movie about 4 women and their problems just like any other movie about women and their friendships. I enjoyed watching each lives and how they came together as friends. This movie grossed 14 mil in 4 days which means it was a success.
