Blake- N @PBSAniDom Apr 23 Just Wright is an alright romantic sports film that does a few things well but never fully rises above average. The story is simple and predictable, following familiar rom-com beats, but it’s carried somewhat by the charm of the leads and the easygoing tone. The relationship at the center is likable enough, and there are moments of warmth and humor that make it an easy watch. However, it rarely takes any risks, and the emotional conflict feels a bit surface-level. The sports angle is also fairly light, so don’t expect much intensity or depth there either. Overall, it’s a perfectly fine movie to put on casually, but it doesn’t leave much of a lasting impression. I’d rate it a 5/10. See more Heidi T @HMtT223 Jan 21 It’s a cute date night movie. You can never go wrong with Queen Latifah, & Common is solid. Phylicia Rashad & James Pickens Jr steal the show in their scenes. Paula Patton perfectly portrays the shallow girl you love to hate. Overall it is a bit cliche, but with so many strong actors, definitely worth the watch.

See more 11/19/2019 "Just Wright" failed to make the best friend the wife. I could see where Scott fell in love with Leslie but honestly it just felt like a friends with benefits situation. It also wasn't right how they never "exposed" Morgan. Did Scott ever discover she didn't like going to charity events, was a gold digger, and that she never truly dated any other NBA basketball player? I mean the ending was good and expected but to never have Morgan get her comeuppance - was missed opportunity for a perfect ending. But anyway, I did love the premise of the film. It's a cute story that mixes love and basketball.... But somehow I still feel like the girl was second best 🤷🏽‍♀️. They tried to avoid it, the film really did, but they just did Leslie dirty this entire film. Common did great acting as a NBA player, if I knew any in real life, and the Queen did beautifully in her part, as always. Some scenes could have been cut shorter because they dragged on for awhile, specifically the scenes to show that Scott McKnight was sad because it was just....awkward? But other than that, I loved this film and it puts you in your feels. Good for date night, when you feel like your second best, or when you're eating cocoa bread. See more Read all reviews
