So believe it: ...

Queen Latifah Finds Romantic Comedy Is ‘Just Wright’
MTV Movies Blog — Disney may have given up on a physical therapist Cinderella, but Fox Searchlight didn’t, and now Queen Latifah will be putting on the nurse’s scrubs and hoping for romance in “Just Wright.” According to Variety, the modern day fairytale centers on a physical therapist who is assigned to help a star basketball player recover from an injury. Naturally, with all that close contact, she falls in love with him. Hey, they don’t call it physical therapy for nothing. (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
