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.

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.

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.

Vaughan brings such disregard to the film that its pedestrian on-court action might as well have been shot from the bleacher seats.

It’s hard to know what to make of a film such as this, with its implicit message that it takes men to empower women in sports.

The referee should have cried 'foul' on this long before it hit the screens.

'Wouldn’t it be nice if all guys got a taste of what it’s like on the other side of the bra?'

This mess of a movie is nothing short of a travesty of a transvestite comedy.

It's such a mechanical endeavor [that] it never bothers to question why somebody might devote time to see it.

I can't imagine anyone taking anything positive away from Juwanna Mann, other than the conviction that it's not a very good movie.

This movie is about a man in drag, but it's far from being a drag itself.
