"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Just Wright | 2010 | PG | - 4.1.3
A thirty-something, single woman (Queen Latifah) is frustrated by losing men to beautiful women who have little besides looks to share with them. While she advances in her career as a physical therapist and lands a job with an injured NBA star player (Common), she's convinced that eventually she'll meet the right man. Spending their time together during his recovery, they both realize that their feelings are more than professional, but his pretty ex-fiancée (Paula Patton) returns and that changes everything. Also with Michael Landes and Pam Grier. Directed by Sanaa Hamri. [1:51]

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Nickel Boys - 1.5.5
Kraven the Hunter - 1.7.5
