Watching Juwanna Mann kind of reminded me of the 1993 Mrs. Doubtfire film about a man dressing as and acting like a woman. The way Miguel A. Nunez made this person want to play basketball was really hilarious a amusing. Kevin Pollack as his agent was really a powerful spot since only he knew the difference between Juwanna and Jamal Jeffries. I liked the way Jamal told him "You're a feminine Jerry Maguire" Vivica Fox was so hot and perfect as Michele Langsford who at the end did accept Jamal as well as Juwanna. They should try to shoot more films about men dressing up as women just like Dustin Hoffman did in Tootsie an Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire.

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!

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.

Although there were a couple of unbelievable things in the movie I was pleasently surprised by this laugh fest. Mr. Miguel A. Núñez Jr. does a brilliant job of immatating a woman very convincingly. I was very glad I changed my mind and decided to watch it.I should mention that when I saw the ads for this movie I thought it had to be the "stupedist" movie ever made. So I refused to watch it. One evening, when there was nothing on to my liking, I saw Juwanna Mann was playing so I watched it b/c I could always turn the TV off...I started laughing out loud and enjoying it more and more. The movie, and Mr. Núñez's acting, was able to turn me around and I had a good time watching this fun movie. 9/10 -Zafoid
