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

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

Top CriticWriter Bradley Allenstein peppers the script with a lot of lame locker-room jokes that appear on the horizon long before they hit the screen.

This is one that, like a 1am rerun of a late-season Cavs-Grizzlies matchup, deserves to play out in darkness and obscurity.

The movie is populated by enough agreeable performers to keep it watchable.

The premise itself is just SOOOOO tired. Pair that with really poor comedic writing...and you've got a huge mess.
06/28/02
Star Miguel A. Nunez, Jr. has gone through no less than six variations on his name during his career. After this, I'd suggest a seventh, more extreme name-change. That will spare his family the inconvenience of all having to change their names.
06/26/02
Simplistic, silly and tedious.

Top CriticI would pay to hear Jim Rome review this one.
06/25/02
This flat run at a hip-hop Tootsie is so poorly paced you could fit all of Pootie Tang in between its punchlines.
06/25/02
Some Like It Hot on the Hardwood proves once again that a man in drag is not in and of himself funny.
06/24/02
[Brings] absolutely no fresh angles to a time-tested formula that's seemed particularly overworked of late.
06/24/02
Top CriticThere is nothing even remotely original about the glib, idiotic, gender-bending masquerade.
06/24/02
It has the requisite faux-urban vibe and hotter-two-years-ago rap and R&B names and references.
06/23/02
Unsurprisingly, the way this all works out makes the women look more like stereotypical caretakers and moral teachers, instead of serious athletes.
06/23/02
Harmless.
06/23/02
Top CriticJuwanna Mann ... turns the parody inside out: it's no longer critiquing mainstream expectations, but instead, absorbing and reflecting stereotypes, drained of context.
06/21/02
I didn't actively hate it; it simply bored me to tears.
06/21/02
The title, alone, should scare any sane person away.
