Description
“All I can think is… what a misuse of the wonderful Queen Latifah.” Lisa Findley “Cry emoji, cry emoji, cry emoji.” Charles Adrian   Just Wright Year: 2010 Written by: Michael Elliot Director: Sanaa Hamri Stars: Queen Latifah, Common   Show notes:   We cannot in all conscience recommend this film, although Queen Latifah is wonderful in it. And other people are very good in it too. And it contains one of the best meet cutes we’ve seen. It’s just a mess of a movie (in our opinion; ymmv*) and we are ready to tell you why.   We mention the book The Rules, Time-tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right (1995) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rules), the films Grease (1978) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077631/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0), The Bodyguard (1992) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103855/) and Last Holiday (2006) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0408985/), and the podcast You’re Wrong About (https://yourewrongabout.com/).   We record these episodes over the internet. Sometimes the audio is not perfect. We apologise for that.   Music in this episode is by Martin Zaltz Austwick (martinzaltzaustwick.com). Artwork is by Lisa Findley.   Thank you for listening!   *ymmv = your mileage may vary, used to mean that people’s tastes and preferences differ and that’s fine.
