This is a comedy about a basketball player who dresses into a woman and fall in love in his team mate.Is this movie a masterpiece?Definitely no.Is this movie predictable?Definitely yes.But that's not the problem.This is an average comedy,you will enjoy it if you do not take it too serious.It has some fun moments,and it is not that bad movie.Kevin Pollack is a great in the role of Juwanna's manager,the direction is decent,and it is a light-hearted funny movie good for Sunday evening entertainment.I would recommend this movie to kids who like basketball,i really think that this is a great movie for them.If you are looking unpredictable,great masterpiece then don't watch this.But I think that it is good to accuasionally watch movies of this category to relax and enjoy in the light-hearted story.
There is nothing new about the plot to this movie. But, it is pretty funny. I liked the part when Juwanna gets pulled over by the cop and it turns out he wants to become a woman. That was good. Also, when Juwanna gives the women tips about men. And Tommy Davidson was funny as Puff Smokey with his silver teeth and his antics with Juwanna. Of course, at the end, our lead character learns a life lesson and changes his way.
FINAL VERDICT: Not a bad way to pass a Saturday afternoon. It isn't too long and does have some humor.

All I can say is that this movie is mad hot! I JUST LOVE IT! It's one of the best comedy movies that I've seen this year! That movie had me laughing so hard, that I cried, for real! Miguel Nunez Jr. is mad funny and so is Tommy Davidson, with his gold-teeth behind! Ginuwine did good for his first role in this movie! But Lil' Kim was kinda whack, I guess she did okay! She did good at the end though! It's a really, really, really funny movie! My aunt was going to see it, and I said "Can I see it (with you) again, can I see it again please?! It was mad funny, I want to see it again!" I know one thing though, I'm going to get the "Juwanna Mann" tape or dvd whenever it comes out!
It's not SOME LIKE IT HOT, but it's not bad either. It does require a certain suspension of disbelief, but it demonstrates good morality in the end. Guess I'm in the minority who believes it's worth seeing once.
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.
