Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Núñez Jr.) is the wild partying bad boy of pro basketball. After the latest naked outburst, he is indefinitely suspended and his sponsors abandon him. He is completely broke. Even his agent Lorne Daniels (Kevin Pollak) dumps him as a client. He is forced to move in with his only supporter Aunt Ruby. He comes up with a crazy idea to be Juwanna Mann, a female player in the WUBA. He tricks Lorne into representing him. He clashes with team leader Michelle Langford (Vivica A. Fox).The setup is stupid. I'm not even expecting good. I didn't know there is money in female basketball. The character is an annoying douche. This is even worst than I feared. This setup is all wrong and it makes any attempt at humor ridiculously bad. The jokes are broad and obvious. It is terribly predictable. This is nowhere near Tootsie level. That's the target but I'm not sure if the film knows it.Before watching the movie, I assumed that Jamal got injured and forced out of the game. Imagine if he was a dunk machine with no other skills. He gets injured and without any other skills, he can't get work anywhere. In desperation, he tries out for the worst female team and barely makes it as a bench warmer. He humbles himself and learns to become a 3 and D player. That would be my pitch.

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!

Spoilers herein.One of the most disturbing trends in film is how we have started manufacturing `special audience' films. They used to have their own lives, their own authenticity. Here we have a mindless copy: `Tootsie' plays basketball. This goes beyond dumb and stereotypical - both of which are tolerable in movieworld - into demeaning, lastingly demeaning.Ted's Evaluation -- 1 of 3: You can find something better to do with this part of your life.

Jamal Martin is a loud-mouth, arrogant basketball star who istossed from the League. In desperation to play, he pretends to beJuwanna, Mann, a woman basketball player. The women on theteam are all good actresses and very convincing. Jamal asJuwanna is played very well. There are some crude moments andsexual innuendo, but it is basically good clean fun with thephonies exposed and the good people coming out on top. Irreminded me of "Tootsie" where another desperate man (DustinHoffman) has to play a woman in order to find a job. I give it a 6 forcreative imagination.
