Watch Just Wright For Free

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Admirable film.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The acting in this movie is really good.

Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah) is a straight arrow physical therapist. The Jersey girl drives a crappy car and is always in the friendzone. She lives with her manipulative godsister Morgan (Paula Patton) who is working on becoming an NBA wife. Leslie is an avid New Jersey Nets fan. She befriends Nets star Scott McKnight (Common) and he invites her to his birthday party. She brings Morgan along and Scott falls for Morgan. They plan to get married. Scott gets a possible career ending injury and Morgan abandons him. Leslie helps him recover and that's when Morgan comes back into the picture.In a cliché rom-com, Leslie would be played by a cute girl turned ugly by a pair of glasses. The reason this is better is that Queen Latifah is so much more. She's no shrinking violet and has personality to boot. Is the story predictable? Absolutely. That's not a real sin in my opinion for a rom-com. This genre needs to follow a certain formula. I think people are so used to the hidden beauty Leslie character to be an actual beauty queen. Queen Latifah throws a lot of people off in this role. This works because of her and Common.

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.

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

Basketball and romantic comedy is a weird mix, but I happen to like both, so "Just Wright" worked for me. I'm concerned the producers probably thought that they were going to get the male sports market AND the female romance market, but they are very wrong on that. Too much corny romance for most male viewers and too many basketball references for most female viewers. This can probably only be enjoyed by romantic comedy fans who also like the sport of basketball.The romantic comedy angle was very formulaic and obtuse. The entire story was laid out from the very beginning, and even earlier than that - it was all in the trailer. There was little depth to the characters and no depth to the situations. No laughs, no tears, but a few smiles.If you won't get too pained by how obvious the story is, there are some positives. I enjoyed Queen Latifah and, surprisingly, the rapper Common was very enjoyable too. They both came across as likable people whom I wanted to succeed. The slim vs. fat conflicts were kept to a minimum because they aren't their weight, they are people. And, again surprisingly, there was even attempted thought put into the psychology of sports injuries. Although there is almost nothing new in "Just Wright", there is enough to keep fans watching.
