CGiii Comment
Sub-standard chick flick - with the obligatory gay hairdresser (and husband), lousy acting, over-acting, dull and uninspired writing.
It's almost like watching a very bad version of Dream Girls without the music.
Whitaker should stick to acting because his directing talents leave much to be desired.
A complete and utter bomb.

This story based on the best selling novel by Terry McMillan follows the lives of four African-American women as they try to deal with their very lives. Friendship becomes the strongest bond between these women as men, careers, and families take them in different directions. Often light-hearted this movie speaks about some of the problems and struggles the modern women face in today's world.
