Generic romantic comedy with a generic meet cute and generic third-act problems, with a sports movie polish to it. Not offensive, just completely unremarkable. I only watched it because it was on HBO and I was too lazy to get up.

Holy fucking hell! So. So beauty... is on the INSIDE??? It's, like, more about, like who's there for you when the chips are down, than it is that you're successful and sexually attractive??? Did you guys know this???

Filmes da ilha deserta #2 Meh. TV aberta.

Cheesy tv-movie strings and all the usual rom-com guff, as dull as an actual NBA game.

Full of bad clichés and has zero comedy.

bleh...

Hollywood stereotype keeps Latifah stuck in neo-Mammy mode. And Latifah isn't a good enough actress to reveal emotional aspiration; neither she nor Patton bring depth to the phenomenon of women who orbit around successful athletes.

"The big-studio romantic comedy has become so intractably set in its ways that there's no longer hope for true innovation; competent replication of clichés is now a best-case scenario." - Nick Schager

Romantic comedy about a physical therapist and avid basketball fan, who gets a shot at love when she is hired to work with an NBA All-Star. There is nothing going on in this good but unsubstantial movie we haven't seen before, save for the two leads stepping outside of their respective boxes. Still, the been-there, done-that nature of the plot doesn't take away from the undeniable sweetness.

Queen Latifah is fabulous. This movie is stupid.
