Cute movie with excellent principles about love. Queen Latifah's character Leslie Wright is a stunning protagonist in this love story. On the other hand I didn't like the character Morgan Alexander because she was so fake. I somewhat liked Scott McKnight but I didn't like his choice in choosing Morgan. The flow of the movie was really good. I loved especially the scenes where Scott and Leslie are building their relationship until Morgan comes back. I loved all the parents in the movie and wished they all had more lines in the movie. Lastly, I think the movie could go longer and show Leslie's life with Scott. Overall it was a cute movie, but it's not one to purchase and keep.

In the first minutes the spectator may think he already knows everything is gonna happen, but he is wrong. "Just Wright", thought using a saturated subject (sport and overcoming), has a original vision of it. Many people would think that McKnight would fall in love with Queen Latifah's character instead of marrying with Morgan, so that's a proof that the film isn't that predictable. Also, we all thought Leslie would be McKnight's choice from the get go and there would be a big fight between Morgan and her, but one more time, the writer surprised us. It's just a shame that Latifah is ALWAYS playing the same role; it tires the spectator and make us feel cheated. This film, in general, is entertaining and enjoyable to watch, despite the clichéd and ridiculous end it has. See this picture without commitment and you will probably at least have a good time.

A very buxom Queen Latifah should have lost some weight before doing this film. After all, she portrays a physical therapist and the last time I looked, these people are usually on the slim side.The story is Helen Trent-like. Can a woman of 35 find happiness? (Remember the radio show where Helen Trent was the woman who at 35 was thwarted by love?) This seems to be the case for Latifah until she finds love with an NBA star. He falls for her sister and it looks like love shall pass her by again, until he is injured and learns to appreciate what true love means and what it doesn't mean.Of course, when he regains his health his old flame returns. Doesn't that sound familiar? Of course, we know how the end turns out in this very predictable film.

Queen Latifah is Leslie Wright, physical therapist, nice and generous but in her mid-30s with no male prospects in sight. By sheer chance she meets an all-star basketball player for the NJ Nets, at a filling station when he doesn't know how to access his filler cap. That she happens to be a lifelong basketball fan makes things more interesting.Music artist and rapper Common is that star basketball player, Scott McKnight. After his encounter with Leslie, and seeing how nice she is, he invited her to join a big group at his home for a birthday celebration. Paula Patton is Leslie's cousin, Morgan Alexander, a pretty lady who has only one ambition, spend money on shopping and finding a wealthy husband so that she can spend even more money on shopping. She insinuates herself into the situation and manages to get Scott to fall for her. Leslie is disappointed because once again a shallow guy chooses the pretty girl over the better girl, but things turn around when Scott has a serious knee injury, requiring surgery, only 3 months before the playoffs are to begin. By this time Morgan has moved in with Scott, and doesn't like the pretty physical therapist assigned to Scott, so she gets Leslie into the job. Leslie does a super job, works Scott hard, to get him ready for the playoffs, which no one thought possible.Common, as it turns out, was already a pretty good basketball player, and his father had played in the old ABA, so he didn't require a double for any of the basketball action against legit NBA players. Not a great movie by any stretch, but a nice rom-com, better than its current low IMDb rating would indicate. Each actor does a fine job.SPOILERS: Morgan ditches Scott after his injury, no longer seeing his as her meal ticket. Leslie and Scott get closer. When Scott returns and is the hero of the playoffs, Morgan tries to get back in his favor by he has become wise to her. In the end he and Leslie fall in love and head towards being a couple.
