| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Like most romantic comedies, Just Wright has a core of plastic, but it's fortunate to have a cast that can cover the plastic with a veneer of humanity. |
| AV ClubScott TobiasWith her (Latifah), Just Wright feels hampered by arbitrary contrivances; without her, it wouldn't be enough movie to exist at all. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertHere Common isn't called upon to do much heavy lifting in the acting department, but he plays well with Queen Latifah. Sure, the movie is a formula. A formula that works reminds us of why it became a formula. |

| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaMichael Elliot, the Philadelphia native who wrote Just Wright as a vehicle for Latifah - and who was on set for most of the shoot - says that Common's earnestness, and eagerness, and his sense of responsibility in carrying the movie, were palpable. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonThe been-there, done-that nature of the plot doesn't take away from the undeniable sweetness found in Just Wright. |
| TheMovieReport.comMichael DequinaThe audience, much like Latifah, is surprised and utterly won over by Common's disarming, nice guy affability beneath the intimidating aura. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeA good formula movie and it goes down its structural checklist with a sense of élan, a variation or two and a freshness in terms of the characters. |
| CinematicalJeffrey M. AndersonHamri has grown more and more confident over her last three pictures, and she has learned to calmly focus on characters and small moments. |
