Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Just Wright”

- By

Roger Ebert

While other critics had mixed reviews about the film, Roger Ebert, perhaps one of the most respected voices in film, actually dug it and praised Queen La’s performance. He said Latifah, “has a natural sunniness that makes me, at least, feel good.” And then, while many have argued that a basketball player would never choose a Queen Latifah over Paula Patton, Ebert saw it differently: “Once Scott injures his knee and hires Miss Wright (Latifah) as his live-in physical therapist, we know he’s going to fall in love with her. It’s so much easier to fall in love with someone who is necessary to you than someone you are necessary to.” Ebert ended up giving the film 3 out of 4 stars.
