The idea of transposing the story to the macho, greedy world of big-time sports is promising, but director Jesse Vaughan delivers only flat dialogue and predictable situations.
02/27/07
The movie is sloppily edited, the gags limply staged, the dialogue and jokes stiff and stale. Even the action on the basketball court is unimaginative and boring.
02/27/07
As limp as it is lazy.

Top CriticAn unpersuasive moral journey, with a smattering of laughs, that fails to justify the insulting premise that only a man can help the ladies win at both basketball and love.
02/09/06
Top CriticBogus and wickedly unoriginal.
01/15/04
...about as exciting to watch as two last-place basketball teams playing one another on the final day of the season.
11/26/02
Some like it lukewarm in this tale.

Top CriticVaughan brings such disregard to the film that its pedestrian on-court action might as well have been shot from the bleacher seats.
11/18/02
It’s hard to know what to make of a film such as this, with its implicit message that it takes men to empower women in sports.
10/15/02
The referee should have cried 'foul' on this long before it hit the screens.

'Wouldn’t it be nice if all guys got a taste of what it’s like on the other side of the bra?'
10/04/02
This mess of a movie is nothing short of a travesty of a transvestite comedy.
09/23/02
What a stiflingly unfunny and unoriginal mess this is!
09/18/02
It's such a mechanical endeavor [that] it never bothers to question why somebody might devote time to see it.
08/22/02
We have given a name to our pain, and that name is Juwanna Mann.
07/23/02
I can't imagine anyone taking anything positive away from Juwanna Mann, other than the conviction that it's not a very good movie.
07/15/02
Obnoxious Tootsie rip-off.
