Summary: Juwanna Rating
Review: Between 4 and 5 stars, Juwanna Mann is one of the best comedies of the year, I believe. The ending could've been better though, but the whole film is definitely great! For women looking into athletics, this is somewhat an inspiration; for others, it's a thought for life; all together, though, the movie is definitely hilarious with jokes, and other funnies to get you laughing. The whole cast is wonderful and sets the scene throughout, especially Miguel Nunez, Jr. who brings out the best of a feminine side. (Greatly played!)

Summary: THE "BULL DURHAM" OF BASKETBALL MOVIES!
Review: Hoop fans had the choice of not one but two basketball pictures in 2002 - 'lil Bow Wow's truly flacid LIKE MIKE and Warner Bros.' vastly superior JUWANNA MANN. Bounced from the NBA for his incessant bad behaviour, Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Nunez, Jr.), plucks his brows, shaves his legs, and takes to the court of the WBA as the sassy and flashy Juwanna Mann, (Vivica A. Fox). Liberally sprinkled with moments of humour and insight, JUWANNA MANN is a "slam-dunk" to please hoop fans and students of the human condition alike.

Summary: A Very Entertaining Comendy!
Review: I didn't think that Juwanna Mann was going to be that good but I decided to check it out anyway.I was wrong again.It was a very very funny comendy about a basketball player who acted rude during one game and got suspended.After his girlfriend left him because he doesn't make any more money he decides to try and get famous again after losing everything he ever worked for.Jamel(as that's his name)hatches a plan after seeing a really good female basketball player in the streets by his mother's house.He tells his agent that he knows a really good female basketball player and dresses himself up as a women and goes to his agent.His agent actually believes that he is a women untill Jamel shows himself.Jamel's agent doesn't think that his plan is gonna work but when he fool's everyone on a WNBA team the plan is set.Everything is going perfect for Jamel untill he falls in love....with a team mate.

Juwanna Mann is a very entertaining comendy about being who you are and not somebody eles.The film was slow at the start was rapidly got better.

ENJOY!

Summary: FUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNY
Review: I felt this movie was excellent in so far as it was simple and had a good point. Yes it was somewhat unbelievable but what movie isn't? And yes it was a similar storyline to Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire but so what? It pointed out a good moral story, that teamwork is better than individual glory and it has some very funny scenes and cool music. So I would recommend it if you are looking for
a simple funny movie. ...

Summary: Complete garbage!
Review: I was forced to sit and watch this complete nightmare on a trip cross country. There is no humor in this, unless you have the mind of a pre-teen boy! Don't watch this crap! It not ony destroys modern film, but it enforces social stereotypes. Angry cocky black man, manipulative rich white man, foreigners are goofy, even so much as to say female athletes are all lesbians! This is racism, sexism, and cultural racism in one complete package!

Summary: Dumb, Silly, & Kind of Funny
Review: Juwanna Mann is one of those movies where you wonder what ...the actors and director were thinking! I could see why Nunez Jr. ran for this role seeing how he hasn't had many starring roles but Vivica Fox, Kevin Pollack and Jenifer Lewis shocked ...me. I kept wondering why in the world they were so desperate they took part in this. The film isn't that bad, actually it's very funny but that fun can't help borderline on the verge of being pathetic. Proving a cheap film can still get laughs unless you take it too seriously. If you take this film seriously you're in trouble. The film has potential with the plot about a male NBA star getting kicked out of the NBA. He cooks up a master plot of going drag and playing women's pro ball in hopes the NBA will see what they are missing. From there we have the typical " Tootsie ". Juwanna falls for Vivica A. Fox, a teammate. Kevin Pollack plays the slimy agent who will do anything to make a buck. Singer Ginuwine has a small role as Romeo, Vivica's cheating boyfriend and Tommy Davidson plays Puff Smokey Smoke, the man whose heart is stolen by Juwanna who he nicknames ( one tall glass of water ). Surprisingly Tommy was the funniest character in the film. You never knew what he would do next and I hoped there would be more scenes with him and Juwanna. The basketball scenes ran too long and could have included more comedy. The film was very short but that was probably a blessing in this case. All in all the actors are talented and pull off this bad script well. But it's nothing that they should include on any resume list. In fact they should all forget they made this film and move on.

One last thing, Lil' Kim was in it. Take that any way you like.
