Editorial Review:
Jamal Jeffries is one basketball star who stirs up heat both on and off the court. This player's got game, girls and attitude to spare. But when one confrontation too many gets him booted out of the league, Jamal is going to need a lot more than a good agent to get him back on the courts. He's going to need brains, creative ball-handling, and just the right shade of lipstick. Jamal's only chance to get his game back is to join up with the other league- the women's basketball league. With coerced support from his reluctant agent and a heavily padded sports bra, Jamal transforms himself from the bad boy of basketball to its newest female role model: Juwanna Mann!
Description of Juwanna Mann:
Juwanna Mann is aware of its own lack of originality, and it doesn't care--and that makes this routine comedy easy to enjoy, if not admire. It's Tootsie on the basketball court, dribbling over the same sexual-identity jokes, and pushing inevitably toward the same life lessons, this time learned by spoiled hoop star Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Nunez), who is ejected from the NBA, loses everything, and gains it back by posing as the vivaciously female "Juwanna Mann" in the "WUBA" basketball league. Utterly predictable high jinks ensue: Jamal in the ladies' shower; Jamal falling for his lovely team captain (Vivica A. Fox); Jamal fending off a lusty rapper (Tommy Davis, stealing the show)... and so on. If you like falling dominoes, you'll like this movie: it's played for easy laughs, it's relatively painless compared to, say, a Rob Schneider comedy, and it gets the job done. It's no slam dunk, but its fouls are excusable. --Jeff Shannon
Juwanna Mann Reviews:
A semi-funny comedy but overall a good movie 
2008-09-21 - Juwanna Mann isn't a horrible movie just a by the numbers comedy. The film has the same jokes that most gender benders comedy's do which get tired after a while. Miguel A .Nunez does good carrying the movie by himself but Tommy Davidson and Kim Wayans steal every scene their in. Ginuwine does a great acting job in his first movie and Mrs.Fox is good as always. While the jokes in the gilm are the same overall the film is good and has a nice message. If Warener had a soundtrack to back the film then it would have been better and Warner could have had a sleeper hit on their hands.
Ye though I Walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Bad Movies 
2008-05-08 - This movie came on TV the other day and is one of the most atrociously bad movies I have ever seen. I admit I only made it to the part where he signs with the women's team, but I am not a glutton for punishment so I had to stop there. First off, the plot is stupid enough, but I let that go. Then the acting starts to undo the movie. The dude is so over the top it just makes me cringe. Not even Kobe Bryant is that arrogant and not even Ron Artest is that stupid. So the whole set up to him getting kicked out/suspended from the league is just ridiculous. Then you have to watch the overactor with the bad script in drag. I don't even watch the WNBA, why would I want to watch this corny verion? This movie should be banned and all copies destroyed. I give it one star because I am unable to give negative stars.
Grate! 
2008-04-08 - I really like this movie. Juwanna Mann was really funny and I will watich it over one or two, maybe a thard time. Grate movie.
Juwanna Man 
2007-10-19 - It is sooooo funny. When I am having a bad day, I watch the movie and it makes me laugh and feel good. I still love this movie. A great watch anytime.
This movie is funny.
2005-05-18 - Miguel A Nunez was funny. It is so good. I know that the beginning of the part was a little carried away but it was still funny. And this movie is not a complete garbage. This movie gets 5 out of 5.
