Juwanna Mann (2002)

Juwanna Mann is aware of its own lack of originality, and it doesn't care--and that makes this routine comedy easy to enjoy, if not admire. It's Tootsie on the basketball court, dribbling over the same sexual-identity jokes, and pushing inevitably toward the same life lessons, this time learned by spoiled hoop star Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Nunez), who is ejected from the NBA, loses everything, and gains it back by posing as the vivaciously female "Juwanna Mann" in the "WUBA" basketball league. Utterly predictable high jinks ensue: Jamal in the ladies' shower; Jamal falling for his lovely team captain (Vivica A. Fox); Jamal fending off a lusty rapper (Tommy Davis, stealing the show)... and so on. If you like falling dominoes, you'll like this movie: it's played for easy laughs, it's relatively painless compared to, say, a Rob Schneider comedy, and it gets the job done. It's no slam dunk, but its fouls are excusable. --Jeff Shannon Amazon.com

A semi-funny comedy but overall a good movie

Juwanna Mann isn't a horrible movie just a by the numbers comedy. The film has the same jokes that most gender benders comedy's do which get tired after a while. Miguel A .Nunez does good carrying the movie by himself but Tommy Davidson and Kim Wayans steal every scene their in. Ginuwine does a great acting job in his first movie and Mrs.Fox is good as always. While the jokes in the gilm are the same overall the film is good and has a nice message. If Warener had a soundtrack to back the film then it would have been better and Warner could have had a sleeper hit on their hands. September 21, 2008

Ye though I Walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Bad Movies

This movie came on TV the other day and is one of the most atrociously bad movies I have ever seen. I admit I only made it to the part where he signs with the women's team, but I am not a glutton for punishment so I had to stop there. First off, the plot is stupid enough, but I let that go. Then the acting starts to undo the movie. The dude is so over the top it just makes me cringe. Not even Kobe Bryant is that arrogant and not even Ron Artest is that stupid. So the whole set up to him getting kicked out/suspended from the league is just ridiculous. Then you have to watch the overactor with the bad script in drag. I don't even watch the WNBA, why would I want to watch this corny verion? This movie should be banned and all copies destroyed. I give it one star because I am unable to give negative stars.

This movie is funny.

Miguel A Nunez was funny. It is so good. I know that the beginning of the part was a little carried away but it was still funny. And this movie is not a complete garbage. This movie gets 5 out of 5. May 18, 2005
