Critics Consensus

Well-intentioned but formulaic, Just Wright has winning leads but can't overcome its preponderance of cliches.

2/5
Although it's replete with solid supporting players and even stronger goodwill, Just Wright buckles under the burden of its pure intentions. Too many auxiliary, moralizing plot points and characters are picked up, only to be suddenly dropped. Go to Full Review

Utterly predictable, unbearably trite. Go to Full Review
Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Jul 20, 2022
The movie isn't bad but…[Latifah] deserves much more than what she apparently think she does. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

You'll be walking out thinking the film was cute and one you wouldn't mind watching again. Go to Full Review

2.5/4.0
In a Queen Latifah film, and most assuredly in this Queen Latifah film, love is always possible and even the people who disappointment you the most are ultimately redeemed. Go to Full Review

George G Feb 1, 2017 It's good movie to watch
Albus R May 24, 2010 It was too unreal for a romantic comedy and I just felt like a deceived deceived modern day spinster, waiting for a miracle to happen, cause they do. It wasn't funny, wasn't even romantic. Full of bs. See more
