| A surprise Hollywood hit, this film is based on the novel of the same name
by Terry McMillan and centers on four
well-to-do African-American women and their relationships with men and one
another. All of them are "holding their breath" until the day they can feel
comfortable in a committed relationship with a man. Robin (Lela Rochon) is the long-time mistress of
Russell (Leon), who keeps reneging on his promise
to leave his wife for her. She dumps him to find a man she can have to herself,
but her dates with a reliable but unattractive business partner (Wendell Pierce) and a drug addict (Mykelti Williamson) send her back to
Russell. Savannah (Whitney Houston) is a successful
television producer who also believes that her married lover Kenneth (Dennis Haysbert) will leave his wife.
Bernadine (Angela Bassett) is a wealthy woman who
abandoned her own career to raise a family. Her husband is now leaving her to
marry a white woman. Gloria (Loretta Devine) is a beauty salon owner
and single mother raising a teenage son. After years alone, she falls in love
with a new neighbor, Marvin (Gregory Hines). The women share their
stories over lunches and conversations at Gloria's hair salon. ~ Michael
