This Movie Really Scarred Me For Life. This Movie Was So Bad I Took It Back To The Rental Place And Demanded A Refund.Vivica A.Fox Is Normally Great In Her Movies But This One Was Her Greatest Failure. I Just Hope My Siblings Don't Make The Same Mistake I Did Last Night And That Was Renting This Movie!! And Kevin Pollak!! He Is One Of My Favorite Actors And He Stooped To This Level. There Is Good There Is Okay There Is Bad There Is Horrible And Then There Is This Movie.!!.People What I Am Trying To Say Is Don't Rent This Movie It Will Destroy Your Soul Into Many Little Pieces. This Is One Hell Of A Bad Movie A Total Avoid Juwanna Mann 2/10

If you are looking for a film where a trash-talking basketball player must become a woman to learn how to act like a member of a team, this film is for you. That's what the previews showed me, and that's what I got. Nothing really shocking or creatively new in this film.Is the acting okay? Adequate. The directing? Nothing special. Plot? Predictable.Sorry I can't offer a longer review, but the only thing I can say about this film is the man makes a decent woman. Not an attractive one, but passable. This is the kind of film you watch if it's on television and you don't have cable and are too sick to go outside. Not sure why else you'd make a point to see this unless three sadistic brothers made you.

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.

A piss poor remake of Tootsie where the action is transferred from the world of acting to basketball. The whole story arc duplicates Tootsie only substituting the girl he falls in love with's father for a sub P Diddy rapper and basically removing any genuine human elements and depth from the film. Also with rapper etc, and the script in general, lame African American stereotypes abound. If it weren't so crap Larry Gelbart and Don McGuire should sue for credit for their earlier, far superior template from which it was derived. The only redeeming element is Fat Joe's What's Luv? playing over the credits and the always gorgeous Vivica A. Fox. Give this a miss and watch the brilliant Tootsie instead!
