Just Wright trailer, you guys:
So, just let me see if I have this correctly: Queen Latifah is a veterinarian who hosts a radio show physical therapist who loves basketball. One day she meets a handsome photographer basketball player from England America, who quickly develops a romantic interest in Queen Latifah’s friend, Uma Thurman Paula Patton. Queen Latifah loves him from afar, but settles for their burgeoning friendhsip, which develops when his dog gets sick knee gets sick. But in the end, it turns out that the one that Ben Chaplin Common really loved was the more homely woman who really loved him all along: Janeane Garofalo . And then something something, rollerblading in Venice. And also phone sex.
GOT IT!

How many hours did you spend looking up “photographer”? Gabe, you are a modern day Sisyphus.
I saw Gabe’s Tweet about spending hours finding the guy’s profession and it just occurred to me that Gabe has the weirdest job in the world.
Oops! I think you meant awesomest.
I bet it was so much fun throwing ice in Common’s face!
Say what you will Gabe, but I just put ho-dar on my Christmas list.
You can find it at Sharper Image.
“Dr. is it serious?” I’m afraid it it is. Sharper Image went bankrupt in 2008. There’s nothing we can do.
Why do moviepeople (people who exist, in movies) always have friends that are much shittier than they are? I don’t think movies understand how friendship works.
Superbad does.
Boop!
No she’s right you can’t get a guy unless you always wear dresses and stilettos, someone needs to listen to more Taylor Swift songs
Also, you can’t wear glasses ever. Yuck! Glasses!
“Hello Denzel”?
I think Denzel Washington has a pretty good case if he wants to sue, because we all know he has single name recognition for “Denzel,” and that was definitely NOT Denzel Washington (I know this because I have a picture of him in my wallet).
I don’t know, this movie only rips off 1/17 of his movie-persona. Copyright laws rest safe.
This is the only thing Maxim will ever be good for (that’s not demeaning women, you see.)
You know how Hollywood likes to take Japanese movies and remake them with white people? Maybe this is kind of like that.
Or British movies and remake them with black people?
Oh, God, I copied someone’s post and it didn’t even come out. I’m retiring from Videogum, and I deserve many many many downvotes.
Hello, Cyrano!
I can’t believe they waited almost 2 minutes into the trailer for the first hilarious fat people stereotype joke. A rare miss, Hollywood.
I wish this trailer gave me an idea of what happens in the movie.
I’m going to say he ends up with the skinny one…yeah that’s it.
THEY LEARN NEW TRICKS!
Oh, wait…I’m thinking of Old Dogs. (I’m always thinking of Old Dogs.) Nevermind.
My favorite part is how they take Common to the hospital in his full New Jersey Nets uniform after he hurts his knee.
“Hey, it’s been established in other shots in this trailer that I am a multi-millionaire athlete who drives fancy cars and wears expensive suits, so before you rush me to the hospital to have a doctor examine my non-life threatening leg injury, do you think I could throw on a pair of warm-up pants and maybe a clean T-shirt? What? No? You’re just going to Flight for Life me straight to the emergency room in my jersey and game shorts? Sounds just like something that would happen in real life. Let’s go!”
This reminds me of a British Black Comedy that is now an American Black Comedy.
I know this goes both ways and I guess this only bothers me because THE BRITISH ONE WAS TERRIBLE! Also, I’ve had to sit the trailer twice now and they have the same jokes (except sassier) AND the same little person! Peter Dinklage, how did it feel to do the exact same movie twice?
fine. I like this one better:
I remember for our weekly movie night we saw Death at a Funeral. About 45 mins in I went into the bathroom (for privacy, not for the bathroom) to talk on phone for the next hour. Good movie.
Oops! I’m sorry, you beat me to it, downvote me all you want, I’ll show myself out…
(and i thought the British one was actually funny…more downvotes?)
I really enjoyed the British one, too. Gay midget affairs! [whoops, spoiler alert]
I liked the British one too.
you are free to like a terrible movie. i think i just went into it with too high of expectations…no downvotes from me.
That fact that it can be both a British Black Comedy and a Black American Comedy shows you the level of horrible that this movie was/is.
The only thing more high-larious than “OMG! The deceased was secretly gay with a little person!” is “OMG! The deceased was secretly inter-racially gay with a little person!” So I can’t wait.
Well, i didn’t say I WOULDN’T see the remake. I’m just…very aware that it is a remake. I mean, Tracy Morgan Promise, right?
The soundtrack for this film will definitely be a total party jam, top to bottom.
I like all the shots of her wanting food. It really helps me understand her character. Fatty.
Wait. So you’re telling me that this movie is just like “The Truth About Cats And Dogs,” (which I love) except that it stars Queen Latifah (who I also love)? Yep. I’m in.
Agreed! No offense to being ironic and cynical and stuff, but I’m totally gonna see it.
movie party! i’ll wear my cubic zirconia and pretend to be engaged! i will probably see this though.
Ha, yea I wear Hervé Leger dresses to sweaty hot basketball games too.
I would only see this movie if Queen Latifah said to her stupid friend:

UGH, or this? (Please work, please work, please work)
You’re welcome.
Thank you. I am going to try and do it myself here…
OMG IT’S MY FAVORITE SONG AT 1:10.
Twilight Eclipse just got bested!
JKS THEYRE BOTH THE BEST!
whatever, Gabe, I will totally be seeing this movie.
The funniest part of this film is the idea that the New Jersey Nets can win games or that anyone associated with the Nets, that isn’t Jay Z, owns a Maybach.
She doesn’t eat salad! Just like me! I mean, just like a friend… that I know.

On no he dint
I guess you can make skinny people jokes but not fat jokes. I get it now. Very fair.
You don’t disrespect a Queen, Jim.
to call something the “Black” version of something else is just lazy and offensive – it just is – this deserves no further explanation or examples. lazy. offensive. that’s it.
Agreed!
