Directed by Sanaa Hamri ('Something New') and written by Michael Elliot ('Brown Sugar'), 'Just Wright' stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright, a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (played by Common).
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 (played by Paula Patton), 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.
The film is Produced by Debra Martin Chase, Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere, the film also stars Phylicia Rashad, Pam Grier, James Pickens, Jr. and features NBA all star cameos.
Fox Searchlight will release the film on May 14.

She's never coming out and she doesn't have to. Be that has it may, such an attractive woman with nary a boyfriend in sight(ever) will continue to raise eyebrows.

I am so looking forward to seeing this movie. It's rare to see a romantic comedy that features a black couple. We need to support this movie.

Thank you! Someone here commented that Common was an under rated actor, I thought to myself, "He's an actor?"

Isn't Common kind of short to be a basketball player? Just Asking... Also once you start casting rappers to movies the production takes on a formula feel.
