Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly (Top Critic)

A Tootsie-role sports farce that's a drag in every which way.

For it to work, you have to accept the irredeemable stupidity of almost every character.

The title, alone, should scare any sane person away.

Ann Hornaday Washington Post (Top Critic)

Tired and flat as a dead basketball.

Laura Sinagra Village Voice (Top Critic)

This flat run at a hip-hop Tootsie is so poorly paced you could fit all of Pootie Tang in between its punchlines.

Bob Campbell Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

Harmless.

Ted Shen Chicago Reader (Top Critic)

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.

Dennis Harvey Variety (Top Critic)

[Brings] absolutely no fresh angles to a time-tested formula that's seemed particularly overworked of late.

You can thank me for this. I saw Juwanna Mann so you don't have to.

Kirk Honeycutt Hollywood Reporter (Top Critic)

Hollywood might consider retiring this comic subgenre for a while until someone comes up with a more original take.

David Germain Associated Press (Top Critic)

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.

Cross-dressing sports comedy has lockerroom humor.

As limp as it is lazy.
Full Review » 5 years ago
Anna Smith Time Out

An 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.

Bogus and wickedly unoriginal.

...about as exciting to watch as two last-place basketball teams playing one another on the final day of the season.

Paul Malcolm L.A. Weekly

Vaughan brings such disregard to the film that its pedestrian on-court action might as well have been shot from the bleacher seats.

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.

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?'

This mess of a movie is nothing short of a travesty of a transvestite comedy.

What a stiflingly unfunny and unoriginal mess this is!

Mark Palermo Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)

It's such a mechanical endeavor [that] it never bothers to question why somebody might devote time to see it.

We have given a name to our pain, and that name is Juwanna Mann.
