SYNOPSIS

JUST WRIGHT stars Queen Latifah (BRINGING DOWN THE HOUSE, VALENTINE’S DAY) as Leslie Wright, a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (Common – DATE NIGHT). All is going well until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott, forcing her to choose between the gig of a lifetime and the tug-of-war inside her heart. Oblivious to her romantic overtures, McKnight is instead drawn to the affections of Leslie’s gorgeous childhood friend Morgan (Paula Patton – PRECIOUS), 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? Set against the exciting world of championship basketball, the game of love takes on the battle of the sexes in the romantic sports comedy JUST WRIGHT, starring three of Hollywood’s most charismatic personalities as they navigate the full-court-press of love.

Directed by Sanaa Hamri (THE SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS 2) and written by Michael Elliot (BROWN SUGAR), the film stars Academy Award® nominee Queen Latifah (THE SECRET LIFE OF BEES, CHICAGO), Paula Patton (PRECIOUS, DEJA VU), Common (TERMINATOR SALVATION, AMERICAN GANGSTER), Phylicia Rashad (A Raisin in the Sun), Pam Grier (“The L Word”), James Pickens, Jr. (“Grey’s Anatomy”) and features NBA all star cameos. The film is produced by Debra Martin Chase, Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere.

    I would love to see this movie because as a recovering athlete myself I can relate to this film as a steping stone to recoperation.

  • christy belle

    common & dwight howard in the same movie …need I say more. LOL ….Queen Latifah.. is my shero! I love Michael Elliots work and with two other strong women (Pam & Phylicia) as supporting actresses of the Queen, you cant go wrong.

  • Camille

    I really wanna go see this movie because 1.) I LOVE COMMON!!! 2.) Because this looks like the kinda chick flick where the average girl might get the good guy versus the pretty one you would expect. Queen Latifah represents the avg curvy girl and I love that she has a chance to get with Common onscreen, plus I really want to see how the chemistry works between them

  • Whitley A.

    I really wanna see Just Wright because I think the movie shows the true definition of love. That its not always about the way someone look or how much money they make. I have been watching the trailer over and over again! Thats how much I want to see it! Plus Queen Latifah (one of my favorite actresses is in it) and the Hot Common!

  • Queen Latifah is wonderful. I look for her movies and seeing it before it is released would be great!!!

  • Common is making a name for Chicago and all the successful ppl in this wonderful city, there is so much negative media attention on our city at the moment and he’s a shining light :)

    Queen Latifah is just right. I’ve supported her reign since her Living Single days and always enjoy watching her sparkle and sizzle on any screen, big or small.

    I am a fan of both Common and Queen Latifah’s work. I think that their careers speak for themselves as I would like to show my support as a fan of both as well as a basketball fan. I heard that it is similar to Love and Basketball, which is one of my favorite movies so pick me….

  • Chanel

    I’d love to see the movie because: 1) I’m brand new to Chicago — this would be a great way to be in a social setting and it not be awkward (i.e. seeing a movie alone), 2) I think Latifah is one of the most gifted actors of our time — her range is awesome, 3) I’m a girly girl, so romantic comedies are my “thing,” and LOVE basketball, so this would be a great movie because it has both elements that I enjoy.
