Queen Latifah was awesome as usual. The way the love interest develops was fun and sweet. Morgan who was clearly interested in Scott just to be a trophy wife and riding the man's coat tale so she could "be somebody" leaves him in his most desperate hour when he injures himself and his career is in jeopardy. Leslie continues taking care of him during his injury and goes above and beyond her job because she believes in him. He recovers and is back to being top guy in basketball. He falls for he because she's a good woman that is supportive but also isn't afraid of giving someone tough love. He actively pursues her from this point, fixes her car while keeping the dent in it that had such sentimental value to her. They kiss, you know whats next. They spend the night together, he makes her breakfast with a cute note. This is where it takes a terrible turn.
Morgan shows up again being the gold digger she is, wants to get back together with Scott. You would think that after she left him like that, his answer would be a big fat No right?? Especially since he just sleep with Leslie... like just slept with her and is "in love with her". Nope, they get back together.
So at this point i'm like "this guy is awful, move on leslie. You got great things ahead of you without this guy" and she does have great things going for her! She starts getting scouted by tons of teams to be their physical therapist. It should have continued like that with scott and Morgan just being in a bad relationship while Leslie just owned her life and got a better man.
But no... scott gives this dumb speech on tv realizing his mistake, dumps morgan, and morgan is like "cool, i was a bad person, you should get back with her" as if that redeems her or something. He shows up after she had a meeting with a potential job with a team and is like "i know you love me" and she's like "Okay! Yay!" like.. what? No ... no nonono. Reality is that he's flaky and doesn't know what he wants and it's people like that(man or woman) that string people along because they know they can. That's not happily ever after.
Only way I could have seen them making this work, is if they were at an event or something and morgan showed up while Leslie was talking to some people wanting to hire her and she would see morgan being flirtatious and would leave thinking that once again she was going to be option B. But she would miss see Scott being like "No way, not getting back with you. I got someone that cares for me" and then you could play the rest of the movie the same.
This movie got me so mad at the end. Pretty trivial i know. I just had to rant.
