You know, I do love a good sports movie...this ain't one of 'em.
But wait, what it lacks in recreational wonder (i.e. "Glory Road", "Remember the Titans", even "Varsity Blues") it more than makes up for in plus-size splendor.
The premise is this: Queen Latifah is a physical therapist who ends up rehabilitating the most famous point guard in the game played by rapper, Common. Her gold-digging cousin manages to snag the star through a few lies and some crafty manipulation, but leaves him when he gets injured and his career is in jeopardy. Through the rigors of physical therapy the therapist and the athlete become great friends and eventually take their relationship to another level. But everything changes when the opportunistic ex-fiance makes her way back into the picture.
I won't tell you how it ends because that's no fun, but I will say that it's a movie and everyone loves a happy ending. The reason I like this movie is because it's nice to see the "big" girl get the stud for once. Good times. Two thumbs UP!!!
