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.
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.
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!
You people know for a fact that we are not talking about a Blockbuster movie here. I mean come on. This is the type of movie that you just sit back with a big bag of whatever and just laugh your head off. No analyzing or looking for "plot holes". I mean, is everyone in the world a movie critic for the Chicago Sun Times - or are all of you the best director in the world just waiting for a chance to do it better, and what do you do, you-criticize-the-movie-to-death-in-hopes-someone-from-Hollywood-reads-your-post-and-get's-in-touch-with-you-because-based-on-your-post-he-wants-you-to-director-the-next-movie-for-him... - give me a &@(#&%(* break.
Sit back and laugh - your live longer - trust me. Stop being so negative about every movie you see. Stop looking for the meaning of life in movies - LOOK ELSEWHERE - TRUST ME YOUR NOT GOING TO FIND THE MEANING OF LIFE IN A MOVIE, MOVIE THEATER, VHS OR DVD.

After building and screening this film I come to a very simple conclusion. This film is good for a few good laughs. Don't expect any more than the previews give you. Very predictable plot along with simple comedy. You can't blame them for trying, I guess.
