I went to school with Leslie and Morgan. Leslie was always a sweet trusting girl. I remember in the fifth grade, Morgan forgot her lunch, so she asked the teacher if she could go to the restroom. It was raining that day and Morgan went to the coat room, got her coat, picked up Leslie's lunch, hid it under her coat and ambled out of the room. As a hallway safety I left about the same time she did, and I saw her reach into the bag and hungrily wolf down Leslie's tuna sandwich. When she emerged from the girl's room she was munching on an apple, then she balled up the brown bag and tossed it and the apple core in the trash can. When the lunch bell rang, Leslie discovered her lunch was missing.
Morgan, pretending to be her concerned friend, helped her look for her missing meal. Needless to say, they never found it. I still remember Morgan saying "Who Could Do Such a Thing!". When Morgan realized I knew of her dirty trick, she balled up her fist at me and cupped it into her other hand a few times. I thought of the black eyes her big brother regularly gave out and decided to keep quiet.
Leslie is an angel and Morgan is a menace.

I still think that the reason Leslie didn't really connect with Scott was because "Les"lie was basically "les"bian. I think that she hasn't met the right man yet and she's closing in on 40, is a total NBA fanatic who's memorized every stat since 1993 and looked about as comfortable in that dress as Ellen would, all point to the obvious fact she is gay.
I mean she looked so uneasy when she finally kissed the man, that it was as if he was holding a .45 to her gut.
I love Latifah, her comedic timing was perfect, her charasmatic face on camera lights up the scene. You look at Paula Pattons beauty whenever she appears on camera, but you are watching and waiting for Latifah's reaction and clever dialogue. The woman owns every scene she is in.
But there is no getting around the fact that she is a lesbian. Same is true for Jodie Foster another great woman, great talent and probably another great lesbian to her partner. But whenever I see either of them trying to play it straight, it just doesn't work.
But that doesn't mean I didn't love the movie cuz I really did, just couldn,t believe that her character was straight.

Whether she is a lesbian or not, she's a good actress.

I didn't think she was stupid for bringing a prettier girl along with her to the party.Like one of the posters said...If a man likes you it doesn't matter who you bring along. However i think she was stupid for going back to him though. He did take his ex-fiancée back and only after realizing she was nothing but a gold digging u know what,that he ran after her.I would have preferred the movie better if she had taken the job with the Nets but forgave him and remained just good friends.
One man dreammed of becoming somebody. Another remained awake and became.

Dana [Queen Latifah] is a lesbian, and has been with her partner for several years.
Her gf is a personal trainer, & in amazing shape!
Anyway, everybody knows, she's just not "out". Like Jodie Foster, she doesn't think it's important to publicly identify as gay. Personally, I think they both should come out as they are both iconic in the entertainment business, and can help young lesbians realize that they can achieve big things no matter what their sexual predilection.

I have to agree that the chemistry with Common wasn't really there...rom either one of them. The love scenes were really stony and awkward. Probably had more to do with inexperience as an actor. Dunno, but I didn't buy that either one of them was in love with the other one.
