The minute that I saw the previews for this movie, I just knew that I had to see it. I mean, with rappers Queen Latifah, Common and of course Paula Patton? Not to mention countless NBA players, and the timeless Phylicia Rashad, along with basically the only sport that I understand, basketball!
Leslie Wright is a woman who is not having a lot of luck in the love department, always selected to be in the friend category, never moving toward being the girlfriend. Common portrays Scott McKnight in this romantic comedy, who happens to be the star player on the New Jersey Nets. He is Leslie's favorite player and the Nets are her favorite team. As luck would have it, there is a chance encounter at a gas station, and that ladies and gentlemen is where the movie takes off. In walks Morgan, (Paula Patton) Leslie's godsister, who thrives in the spotlight, intent on being the classic NBA trophy wife. The kind of woman that commands a second look, she catches McKnight's eye. As their relationship heads towards the altar, Scott endures a career-threatening injury, that causes Morgan to leave. Leslie is intent on pushing him down the road to recovery, and the rest, as they say, is history!
Even though the movie definitely had some cheesy moments, for me, it was a breath of fresh air. It was nice to see a different spin on your basic rom-com's of this decade. I'm pretty sure you all know me by now, and my take on rom-com's, but come on, take a deep breath, admit that this movie is just wright for you and .......................
GO NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
