Flimsy feminine dream-weaving, backed by choruses of full-throated cheerleading, from the Terry McMillan novel. Angela Bassett, who starred also in the screen adaptation of the author's Waiting to Exhale, looks strong enough to have endured something more than the phony break-away obstacles thrown in her path as a Type A investment counselor and single mom who snags a Jamaican boy-toy exactly half her age on a Caribbean lark: a would-be, but wimped-out, African-American All That Heaven Allows. With Taye Diggs and Whoopi Goldberg; directed by Kevin Rodney Sullivan. (1998) — Duncan Shepherd
