All goes well and soon Leslie finds herself falling in love with him.

Romances are tough because the genre can be very predictable. But if you follow the right recipe and have the right characters then it falls into place and it can be very entertaining. Just Wright is exactly that...simply entertaining. It doesn't have any stand out moments or performances but everything works and just keeps you interested beginning to end. Its the perfect date movie, has something for guys and gals, part sports, part romance, all fun.Queen Latifah is just legendary for being so completely lovable that it doesn't take much for everyone to fall in love with her character. She is good as sports therapist Leslie Wright. Her character might seem typical but she adds her own chemistry to it making it more than typical. Common really surprises as basketball superstar Scott McKnight. He actually is really great in the role and shows a lot of depth to his character. Him and Latifah have good chemistry and the romance is fun and their banter is great. Self-involved and looking for money, Paula Patton plays Morgan, McKnight's fiancée. Her character is meant to be vapid and stuck up and she does a great job. She has good chemistry opposite Latifah too and the story couldn't go on without her. She's the character you'll love to hate and even feel sorry for. Watch for great cameos from the legendary Phylicia Rashad (who looks fantastic!), James Pickens Jr., and Pam Grier as well.Director Sanaa Hamri had to know that all she needed to do was hold the story together and let these actors carry the film and she does that. Its not complex, its not mind blowing, there is no freak twists or turns and that's okay because sometimes the perfect formula is the 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' mentality. Its fun and entertaining and the perfect Saturday romance movie because its feel good and its fun. Worth seeing! 8/10

I absolutely love this movie! Queen Latifah and Common both made this movie for me. Common was a little gullible, but what man isn't? The point to be made is that he gets it right in the end. The story is not so far from reality actually, from personal experience, it is very true to life. Although, all may not agree, this movie has depth and quality moments. I also love the support from the NBA stars, it seems genuine as well. The characters are believable and the story line is realistic in many ways. I love that the girl with the brains and the talent get the guy. I really like the chemistry that seems to naturally develop on film between the two love interests, and I like the struggle between Common and his feelings for both women for a while. I also love the parent relationships that exist for both Queen Latifah and Common, I would love to have seen more of Pam Grier and Queen together, but all in all, this movie is one that I will watch several times. I have it on DVR now so I am set for a while.

Just WrightTwo fates await injured NBA players: the lucky ones join the Harlem Globetrotters; the unlucky ones go to the Nike factory, where they're turned into sneakers.The wounded baller in this rom-com, however, has the opportunity to return to the court; unfortunately it involves following the orders of a fanatical physical therapist.When New York Nets player Scott McKnight (Common) is injured, he's written off. Fortunately, his trophy wife Morgan hires Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah) to help with his recovery.But when his return seems inaccessible, Morgan files for divorce.Heartbroken, Scott turns to Leslie with whom he shares commonalities. But Leslie's girth proves too much for the star player.Adding an urban groove to the old book-judging adage, Just Wright manages to put a new spin on a tired cliché.And while recouping from injury is a joyous occasion, having to give back your disabled parking permit is not.

Its simple if you love little romance cu-tie movies, you'll adore this one Queen did her thing for real and Common yes Common, he was all clean cut in this movie and really gave another side to the men out here these days I never paid attention to dude before this but now he's a Lil hot-tie!!! Bottom line it was a cute little movie for the movie lovers out there, people are so movie scientific nowadays, just love to complain!!! Its definitely a must have for the DVD collection, and there were so many little pop up celebrities in it too made it kind of interesting!!!! BTW if you love "Love and Basketball" with Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps this is to die for, thats all!!:-)
