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

 Better than anticipated. June 25, 2002

This film was one that I at first hesitated to see but was quite impressed when I did. I think Miguel Nunez Jr.(not Orlando Jones) was very funny in this comedy film. Vivica Fox was as lovely as always. In order to see this kind of movie one must come with an open mind and understand it's something not to be taken too seriously. I have to say I'm happy to see Miguel Nunez getting more work and recognition than usual. He's truly a very talented actor and hopefully we'll see more of him. I have to say that I'm a little disappointed that so far there's no soundtrack for the film. It has great music in it.
 Reasonably funny comedy if you don't expect too much July 31, 2002

This is good for some laughs and has a heart-warming story in a rather low-key way. But it will disappoint some. Pared-down to a PG-13 rating for whatever purpose, it seems a movie more suited for R-status. Those hoping for nude scenes in obviousplaces will be disappointed, for example. And gender bending issues are treated neither with aiming for depth or with the zaniest humorous effects, though they work somewhat more in the latter sense. Still for undemanding viewers it isn't the worst way to spend an hour and a half.

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.

Hoop fans had the choice of not one but two basketball pictures in 2002 - 'lil Bow Wow's truly flacid LIKE MIKE and Warner Bros.' vastly superior JUWANNA MANN. Bounced from the NBA for his incessant bad behaviour, Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Nunez, Jr.), plucks his brows, shaves his legs, and takes to the court of the WBA as the sassy and flashy Juwanna Mann, (Vivica A. Fox). Liberally sprinkled with moments of humour and insight, JUWANNA MANN is a "slam-dunk" to please hoop fans and students of the human condition alike.

Juwanna Mann was very funny. I have a 10 year old godson that hardly every laughs, but when i took him to see juwanna mann he really like the movie. It brought tears too my eyes to see him laugh for a change.
