In Fox Searchlight Pictures’ Just Wright movie, Queen Latifah plays as Leslie Wright, a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the dream job of working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (Rapper/Actor 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 (Paula Patton), who has her sights set on being an NBA trophy wife. 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. Be sure to check out Just Wright when it opens nationwide on Friday, May 14th!
