Critic Reviews

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.

-Ted ShenFull Review

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.

-David GermainFull Review

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

-Owen GleibermanFull Review

Simplistic, silly and tedious.

-Richard RoeperFull Review

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

-Laura SinagraFull Review

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

-Dennis HarveyFull Review

Harmless.

-Bob CampbellFull Review

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

-Desson Thomson

Tired and flat as a dead basketball.

-Ann HornadayFull Review

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

-Mike ClarkFull Review

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

-Geoff PevereFull Review

About the best thing I can say about Juwanna Mann is that it's not dreadful.

-Erik LundegaardFull Review

Flat, misguided comedy.

-Carla MeyerFull Review

A lot of talent is wasted in this crass, low-wattage endeavor.

-Gene SeymourFull Review

A sad and rote exercise in milking a played-out idea -- a straight guy has to dress up in drag -- that shockingly manages to be even worse than its title would imply.

-Charles SavageFull Review

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

-Kirk Honeycutt

Has little on its mind aside from scoring points with drag gags.

-Terry Lawson

Beyond a handful of mildly amusing lines ... there just isn't much to laugh at.

-Janice PageFull Review

Here's a truly novel sports film: It actually has a script, decent acting, sympathetic characters. And it's fun.

-Ray ConlogueFull Review

I can't recommend Juwanna Mann and yet I admire the pluck of the actors, especially Nunez, Fox and Tommy Davidson.

-Roger EbertFull Review

This zillionth comedy about a guy who learns valuable lessons from his time as a woman is remarkably lacking in inspiration.

-Jonathan Foreman

A sloppy, amusing comedy that proceeds from a stunningly unoriginal premise.

-A.O. ScottFull Review

It's disappointing when filmmakers throw a few big-name actors and cameos at a hokey script.

-Rasmi SimhanFull Review

It's tempting to call traveling on Juwanna Mann, except it never goes anywhere. This film fouls out.

-Robert K. ElderFull Review

The cast ... is pretty much defeated by the material.

-Jay Boyar

Cross-dressing sports comedy has lockerroom humor.

-Nell MinowFull Review

As limp as it is lazy.

-Anna SmithFull Review

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.

-Anna SmithFull Review

Bogus and wickedly unoriginal.

-Andrew Manning
