I think it's because Queen Latifah is from Jersey, and she may be a real life fan of the team.

My post above was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but just out of curiousity, I went to the New Jersey Nets website. Sure enough, this movie is being pimped and linked on their site everywhere you look. There are even merchandising tie-ins. This is possibly the most shameless case of making a full length film for the specific purpose of promoting a very specific "product" in film-making history.]]> Thu, 13 May 2010 21:50:35 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31332#31332 Another Out-of-Bounds Rom/Com?!?!? : I think it's hard to argue... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31329#31329 Author: moviewizguy

I think it's hard to argue that rom-coms are getting "suckier" each year. The thing about rom=coms is that it follows a formula that was started since mankind began. Rom-coms must end with a wedding. That's just the rule. So I have to ask how can you make a genre so traditional and make it "different"? It's kinda hard, if you ask me. That's why I'm not that hard on rom-coms. They follow a tradition that has been started when comedies and tragedies appeared in Greek plays. Changing the tradition is like changing the entire genre itself!]]> Thu, 13 May 2010 19:27:49 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31329#31329 Another Out-of-Bounds Rom/Com?!?!? : Every decade, Hollywood gets worse,... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31321#31321 Author: GTAHater767

Every decade, Hollywood gets worse, and nothing is ever done to restore them to any of their former glory. And yes, I'd be happy to hear any reason besides "for the money" that Queen Latifah and other ill-reputed actors and actresses keep starring in bad movies.]]> Thu, 13 May 2010 12:47:21 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31321#31321 Another Out-of-Bounds Rom/Com?!?!? : Oh, I think you're onto something... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31317#31317 Author: BurnHollywoodBurn

The New Jersey Nets are going to be playing in a new arena beginning next season, and if I am not mistaken, they also have a new owner. The suspicion here is that this film is essentially a season ticket drive for the team and they probably pumped some money into it. Not only is Hollywood evidently completely out of original ideas; now they are apparently in the business of making promotional videos for the highest bidder.]]> Thu, 13 May 2010 09:27:44 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31316#31316 Another Out-of-Bounds Rom/Com?!?!? : Rom-Coms have already had a... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4287&PID=31315#31315 Author: Berrynoia

Rom-Coms have already had a miserable year, and now we have two more bad ones in one week! 
 
Argument for a Worst Excuse for a Romantic Comedy?  No, we don't need to argue anymore!  
 
By the way, how many more rom-coms (which will almost certainly suck, of course) can we look forward to in 2010?  We haven't even gotten halfway through the year, and we have enough "excuses" to fill the category already!!

WE'VE ALWAZE LIKED QUEEN LATIFAH, and OFTEN FOUND HER to BE FUNNY, ENDEARING and APPARENTLY a GENUINELY LIKABLE MOVIE STAR. ANYONE WHO COULD HOST the PEOPLE's CHOICE AWARDS DURING the 2008 WRITERS' STRIKE and STILL COME OFF LOOKING GOOD IS a TROOPER in OUR BOOK...

BUT WITH THIS WEEK's RELEASE of JUST WRIGHT, CRITICS DECIDEDLY DISAGREE. CALLING the FILM "A PAINT-BY-NUMBERS" ROM/COM" and OTHERWISE TRASHING IT AS YET ANOTHER ARGUMENT for a SPECIAL 2010 WORST EXCUSE for a ROMANTIC COMEDY CATEGORY, THEY'VE GIVEN THIS ONE of the LOWEST RATINGS EVER for a LATIFAH VEHICLE. 

ADD in the FACT THAT the BASKETBALL TEAM the FILM FOCISES ON -- THE NEW JERSEY NETS -- IS AMONG the LEAST LOVED in ITS LEAGUE, and YOU HAVE the MAKINGS of a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. 

OKAY, WE KNOW YOU'RE ALREADY DRIBBLING with EXCITEMENT SO, CONSIDER the GAME-STARTING WHISTLE BLOWN and HAVE AT IT...



LATIFAH: "I'm keeping my fingers crossed that, with 
all those other wretched Rom/Coms comin' out this year, 
ours gets over-looked come RAZZIE® Time..."
