SnoopyStyle 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.

vtooms26 A really happy little film. Once Again Queen Latifah puts a smile on my face in this basketball based film. In this Sweet little Rom Com Queen Latifah plays a rehabilitation nurse and die hard basketball fan who cant find the right guy. In a chance meeting with her hero Scott McKnight at a gas station she seems to catch his eye with her big personality and confidence but ends up second best to her "NBA Wife" stereotype sister who pulls out all the stops to make sure its her who ends up in the wives box. Whilst I'm not a big basketball fan I enjoyed the aspect of Latifahs character Leslie's career as a trainer/physio in the NBA and the scenes involving the basketball matches whilst not the main focus of the film where still enjoyable. Common perhaps the weak link in the film did feel a bit wooden playing the male lead but then again not like hes just stepping over the Oscar podium. The Romantic element was well done with Leslie falling in love with her basketball hero despite her wannabe famous sister already having married him. It was nicely played and Paula Patton did a great job making you dislike her spoilt character. Overall a nice addition to the tired Rom Com Genre, Queen Latifah Once again picks a project that's hard to dislike and criticize even tho it did feel very predictable. Well Worth a look if you want a movie where you can hit off button for your brain and just sit back and smile.

effiongphilip I thoroughly enjoyed the spark ignited by Queen Latifah and Common in this movie. It might be predictable like some say but which movie isn't. what i like is the fact that Common is the kinda guy we don't have too many of nowadays. i watched it over six times and still did not get bored. i enjoyed it and will recommended it for your weekend movie must watch.The movie is about Leslie Wright who has a father that adores her but a mother that believes that she should be married if she was not too tom boyish. Her mother does not hide her disdain for her looks when she chose to give her diamond earrings to Morgan (Leslie's god sister) to wear on the day of Scott Mcknight's party. However Leslie was true to herself and this eventually paid off in the end when Scott came to appreciate her for who she is and chose her instead of the gorgeous Morgan.Sparks fly, chemistry is ignited between Leslie and Scott and for us die-hard romantics its gonna be one of your favorite movies in a long time to come.

Jucelle Romande It's a love triangle for a physical therapist who falls in love with a handsome basketball player, who is also being woed by her gold-digger best friend. Love eludes her when he marries her best friend but destiny boomerangs him back into her arms when he gets injured and she is the only one who can fix him.This romantic comedy is a real treat. For someone who is not a fan of romantic movies, I was pleasantly surprised. I don't think that this movie got the credit and publicity it deserved.Queen Latifah and Common have a nice on screen chemistry. Mind you, it's nothing over the top but it is sweet. Phylicia Rashad plays Common's mother. Pam Grier plays Queen Latifah's mother. This is sweet romance. I recommend it.
