More of a straight romance movie than a romantic comedy, "Just Wright" is sweet enough, without being cloistering, to satisfy its audience.

My low expectations were happily put aside by the halfway point when Queen Latifah's down-played charm connected completely with that of Common as a believable MBA pro athlete.

Compared to Hollywood's typical ham-handed romantic comedies, the plotline here curves rather than twists.

Latifah's physical trainer Leslie represents a nurturing character archetype that we don't see celebrated enough in modern cinema.

Some sub-plots and secondary characters are trapped inside unforgiving formula constraints, but overall "Just Wright" is just that.

Rated PG. 100 mins.
