Queen Latifah
Common - a rapper from Chicago, he's been in a couple of movies including Date Night. Beautiful man.

Queen Latifah's plays Leslie Wright, a physical therapist who works in NYC, lives in NJ, has bought a fixer-upper that her adoring father (played wonderfully by the head doctor on Grey's Anatomy, James Pickens Jr.) helps her fix up (well, sort of), drives a clanking, old, dented pale yellow Mustang, and is a huge basketball fan. She "bumps into" the handsome star basketball player of the New Jersey Jets at a gas station, who ends up asking her to his birthday party. Mmm Hmm. Enter her gorgeous godsister, who is a player, and who sets out immediately to get her man.

Well, there's not one surprise in the plot. You know exactly what's going to happen, but you enjoy it anyway. This was a super way to spend a very hot Friday afternoon. I'd watch Queen Latifah in anything!
