Rapper Common Plays NBA Star In New Flick 'Just Wright'

Actor/rapper Common stopped by to talk to us about his role in the new romantic comedy Just Wright, co-starring alongside Queen Latifah, Paula Patton and Laz Alonso.
"Leslie Wright (Queen Latifah) is a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (Common). All is going well until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott, forcing her to choose between the gig and the tug-of-war inside her heart.
Oblivious to her romantic overtures, McKnight is instead drawn to the affections of Leslie's childhood friend Morgan (Paula Patton), who has her sights set on being an NBA trophy wife. Is Leslie destined to play the role of "best friend" forever or will Scott finally see that what he always wanted is right in front of him?" says Fox Searchlight of the movie.
Just Wright hits theaters on Friday, May 14. For more information, visit www.foxsearchlight.com/justwright.
