Technically speaking, this is a romantic sports comedy. We don't get many films in which these elements work well as a team.

Intersperses the suds with zippy basketball sequences that feature NBA pros, and a hip-hop soundtrack that steers the film to a mild, steady beat.

Rotten
You can almost see the studio accountants counting the demographic hot spots Just Wright should connect with as the movie reels by.

Just Wright is an easy enough way to pass an afternoon, and it is refreshing to see a plus-sized woman on screen that isn't, for one second, fretting about her weight.
