Memorable, crazy movie
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
This movie is a horror. Bad acting. Bad plot devices. Bad premise. Bad jokes. It is so rotten that it doesn't qualify for one of those "so bad it's funny" categories. Penis jokes galore. Boy in girl's locker room jokes, even stupider. The premise of man-in-"WUBA" is laughable in itself. Worse, after being thrown out of the NBA for antics that would shame Latrell Sprewell and Denis Rodman, his face/voice/ass-itude/skills are not recognized by any of the professional players on his team. Or his coach. Or his agent, for God's sake. This after a media circus on his actions in the first 3 minutes of the film. This thing is dumb above and beyond the call of duty. And when it tries to grow a soul with the inevitable lesson to be learned schtick, any audience in the world would recognize this as a tacked-on morality lesson to pretend to redeem this pile of dung picture. I was forced to watch it while selling plasma. I got $30 for 2 hours. IT WASN'T WORTH IT! RUN AWAY!
This might have been the worst movie I have ever seen. I wanted to give it a two out of ten simply because he was watching "Sanford and Son" at one point, but I just couldn't bring myself to give it any better than a one. Even if you just try to sit back and laugh, not analyze or look for plot holes, you won't be able to, it's just not funny. There were one or two things that were amusing (at best), but they were lost in all the unfunniness of the rest of the movie. Sometimes you sit there with an expectant smile on your face because you can see that a particular situation is going to have a funny conclusion, then the conclusion comes and they blow it, it's not funny and you are left disappointed. Eventually you learn to not expect anything good.This movie is an insult to the intelligence and integrity of the movie watching public. From the stupidest most immature movie watcher, to the most distinguished and intelligent, Juwanna Mann is an insult. It's that bad.
Despite faint allusions to morals learned from Tootsie, Love & Basketball, and Mrs. Doubtfire, this low-budget farce is more of a cross between Sorority Boys and Kazaam without quite capturing the charm of either. It doesn't help that Kevin Pollak, the actor with the most accomplished credits in the movie throws away the obviously golden mold of Sydney Pollack in Tootsie to allude to playing Jay Mohr in Jerry Maguire but settle for a pale imitation (to the extent such a thing is possible) of Geoffrey Tambor in the odious Life Stinks. I gave this a 2 instead of a 1 because the title star does make a fairly attractive and physically convincing female athlete when he's not clowning around. Of course, it only gets a 2 instead of a potential 5 or 6 because the film provides NO explanation of how he overnight became familiar enough with female impersonation techniques to pull such a good one off so quickly. There are a few laughs in this unpretentious and undemanding brain-dead comedy, so if you are looking for background noise while you balance your checkbook or if you have yet to graduate 5th grade, you may find this acceptable. Otherwise, skip it.
OK, it had two laughs. But it's just a rip off of Sority boys. A sexist man who gets kicked off of his basketball team joins the girl's basketball team just to somehow get back on. I don't remember. But it was pretty bad. 2/10
