I did not read "Waiting to Exhale," but I did see the movie. Even without reading the book, I thought the movie was kind of weak, especially Whitney's acting. There is an article about "Disappearing Acts" in this month's Jet magazine and in it the director stated that one of the hardest things was not being able to put more of the book into the script. I thought, "Uh-oh! Red flag!!" It will be interesting to see just how well they did follow the book. It also mentioned that Wesley Snipes is the films executive producer and that the deal to produce the movie was struck between HBO and Snipes's production company Amen Ra Films. I didn't know he had a production company.
