I actually really liked this movie even though (for me) it had three strikes against it going in. I'm not a huge fan of Queen Latifah, movies about basketball or even romantic comedies but this just had that something that hooked me. It could have had something to do with Common and with all those shirtless scenes this suddenly became very watchable.
In the end Latifah wasn't as annoying as usual and I found myself really enjoying this story about a tough talking physical therapist who gets the job of a lifetime when she is hired to rehab an injured NBA star. Shortly after, his fiancée also leaves him when it looks like his career is over, Latifah falls for him and he starts dating her sister.
Ultimately this was your usual light, predictable rom-com with moments of humour but it also had a great cast attached; Phylicia Rashad, Paula Patton, it was also nice to see Pam Grier (briefly) and 'Greys Anatomy' chief (James Pickens Jr) outside of the hospital. There wasn't a whole lot of chemistry between our leads but this was still a very sweet movie. 08.13
