    This movie was absolutely hilarious, maybe not for an adult but for a teenager it was one of those movies that just made you laugh and relax and realise that maybe love isn't just a game!

    It's not exactly the classic cliché film. It's witty and a fun thing to watch. Plus, Morris Chestnut and Vivica A. Fox are great. :)

    An excellent 'feel good' movie with a 'must have' soundtrack. The film demonstrates that no matter who you are, rich, poor, black, white we are all searching for the same thing.... To love and be loved.

    Throws its obvious predecessor, "Waiting to Exhale," into relief, making that 1995 syrupy revenge fantasy look positively Shakespearean next to the moronic Two Can Play That Game.

    Ultimately neither freewheeling enough to work as a diverting entertainment nor barbed enough to strike home as any sort of social commentary.
  3. The best scenes are the ones that Fox shares with Tamala Jones, Wendy Raquel Robinson and the full-figured Monique as her sassy girlfriends. There's a ripe, crackling spontaneity when these women get together.
