<p>I was today years old when I learned that Shemar Moore, D.L. Hughley, Morris Chestnut, and Bill Bellamy starred in the male version of <em>Waiting to Exhale</em> and now I have no choice but to queue it up on my playlist and see what it's all about. From the director of <em>Deliver Us from Eva </em>and <em>Hangin' with Mr. Cooper</em> comes this 2001 romantic comedy-drama about four men navigating the world of <a href="https://www.xonecole.com/tank-xoman-exclusive/" target="_blank">love, sex, and relationships</a>. </p><div class="ad-tag">
