In honor of the ongoing NBA playoffs, here's an encore presentation of our original episode on Just Wright, starring Queen Latifah and Common.
Topics discussed:
- Queen Latifah displays why she is on our Mount Rushmore of hip-hop star turned actors
- Common shows that he is a solid actor
- The basketball scenes are just mid
- The plot is quite formulaic and predictable, but hey, it's a rom-com!
- There are a couple actresses whose skills and experience are underutilized: Pam Grier and Phylicia Rashad.
