This is love story. It’s highly unlikely, far too complicated and should never have featured a lesbian woman as the protagonist. Despite all this, though, I found myself enjoying it.Okay, maybe I was in an sentimental mood, but we all need a little love fantasy every now and then to lift the spirits, right? On top of this, the film stars the very easy-on-the-eyes rapper-turned-actor Common, as well as the always endearing Queen Latifah. This alone counts for a lot in my book, even if we do have to suspend belief to buy Queen’s “straight” love interest.
Common plays a pro-basketballer who gets injured and hires Queen’s character, a physiotherapist, to whip him back into shape. He’s about to get married to Queen’s money-grabbing BFF, but she walks out on him when his moneymaker stops shakin’. Which leaves the playing field wide open… We all know the formula, and this one follows it to the T, making it a classic, feel-good romcom.
Rating: 3.5 outta 5.
