Well-intentioned but formulaic, Just Wright has winning leads but can't overcome its preponderance of cliches.

Although it's replete with solid supporting players and even stronger goodwill, Just Wright buckles under the burden of its pure intentions. Too many auxiliary, moralizing plot points and characters are picked up, only to be suddenly dropped. Nov 17, 2011 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Easy-going and sweet-natured, this "romantic sports comedy" finally dissolves into a gooey mess of over-cooked comfort food. Sep 16, 2010 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Technically speaking, this is a romantic sports comedy. We don't get many films in which these elements work well as a team. May 14, 2010 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Intersperses the suds with zippy basketball sequences that feature NBA pros, and a hip-hop soundtrack that steers the film to a mild, steady beat. May 14, 2010 | Rating: 3/5

Latifah and Common have great chemistry and it's another romance where we like both of them and want to see them happy. Mar 7, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

All of this predictability and retreading of the same old formula just makes for one long, stretched-out film that leaves the audience waiting for the inevitable to happen. Oct 1, 2012 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The audience, much like Latifah, is surprised and utterly won over by Common's disarming, nice guy affability beneath the intimidating aura. Apr 8, 2012 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

You've seen it before -- it lifts from Pretty Woman and The Truth About Cats & Dogs, to name a couple -- but you won't hate seeing it again. Apr 4, 2011 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Just Wright's heart is in the right place. It just doesn't know what to do with it. Mar 29, 2011 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

Queen Latifah is fine as always but Common is a dull blank and the story trite.
Super Reviewer
Enjoyable, but one of those abrupt endings that I hate.
Pretty standard romance movie. The acting isn't great,but i've seen worse. I usually don't like queen latifah,but she was decent here.
Cast: Queen Latifah, Common, Paula Patton, James Pickens Jr., Phylicia Rashad, Pam Grier, Laz Alonso, Mehcad Brooks, Michael Landes, Dwight Howard, Dwyane Wade Director: Sanaa Hamri Summary: Good-hearted physical therapist Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah) is looking for romance but keeps finding duds until she meets professional basketball player Scott McKnight (Common). When Scott suffers a major injury, it's up to Leslie to save his career. Leslie and Scott become close as they work together, but Leslie's beautiful, gold-digging childhood chum -- who is also Scott's estranged girlfriend -- threatens their relationship. My Thoughts: "I couldn't help but like this. I love the Queen. The film has many cliche's and is as predictable as the next romantic comedy film. But who cares. As long as the acting is good and the story is decent then it's an enjoyable watch for me. Of course there will be those who will dislike it, but if your a fan of these types of flicks it will probably be to your liking."
