This movie had great potential had it landed in the right directors hands (as seen with How Stella got Her Groove Back). Many rough cuts, sloppy editing, and terrible lighting at times to name a few. Casting was excellent with the exception of Whitney Houston who has the tendency to over-chew her scenes. Though much of the book was not adapted to the film the strength and love amongst four friends was apparent. It was the one thing that was not lost or left on the cutting room floor. Good movie, better book.
