Just Wright (2010)

Leslie Wright is a physical therapist with a janky car, a fixer-upper house, parents all up in her business, and a gorgeous cousin -- Morgan -- whose heart is set on being a trophy wife. Morgan gets her chance when she and Leslie attend a party at the home of the Nets star point guard, Scott. In short order, Scott and Morgan are engaged, but when Scott suffers a potentially career-ending injury, it's up to Leslie to get him back in shape and to pick up the pieces of his broken heart.

This movie is simply not good. They absolutely waste Pam Grier and Phylicia Rashad as Leslie & Scott's respective mothers and Common (as Scott) is incompetent at showing any true emotion. The script relies on at least three split-screen montages, none of which are any fun. As there's never any question about what's going to happen, this is definitely skippable.
