Attended a screening of Just Wright last night, here's my thoughts. Here's my scale again for those of you who don't know it.
Wow, really = Don't ever watch this
OK = Watch it only once it reaches a premium cable network
Very Cute = Good, works for it's genre
Riveting = A must see, amazing work
Just Wright = Very Cute
Leslie Wright is a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight. All is going well until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott, forcing her to choose between the gig and the tug-of-war inside her heart. Oblivious to her romantic overtures, McKnight is instead drawn to the affections of Leslie's childhood friend Morgan, who has her sights set on being an NBA trophy wife. Is Leslie destined to play the role of "best friend" forever or will Scott finally see that what he always wanted is right in front of him?
Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah) is totally lovable despite falling in the friend zone with all males throughout the film and Scott McKnight (Common) is perfect as the successful yet gullible superstar that you wish would just listen to you so he can live an abundantly happy life. Paula Patton (Morgan) does not wow as the money thirsty, fame hunter that you can't decide if you admire or hate. Despite some forgivable bad acting from a few NBA super-athletes the cast is overflowing with gifted actors delivery enchanting performances.
