The only good part of that movie was Bernadette (Angela Bassett) burning up her husband's clothes. We all know Angela played the HAYLE out that part.
Unspokenone, we are so >>>here<<<, even though I'm not a big SATC watcher/fan. I was in late middle school/early high school when I read Waiting to Exhale and I read it again before the movie came out (I was a junior in HS by then). I hated the movie and still do. This is a perfect example of how you turn a good book into a bad movie. At least the soundtrack was good.
