I can't recommend Juwanna Mann and yet I admire the pluck of the actors, especially Nunez, Fox and Tommy Davidson.

Reviews for Juwanna Mann
Top CriticJuwanna know what we think of this movie? It stinks. The jokes are bad, the stereotypes are tired, and the story is predictable and full of holes.
06/21/02
Some comedies are so funny that they make your sides ache from laughter. "Juwanna Mann" just makes you ache.
06/21/02
"Juwanna Mann?" No thanks. Wewannour money back, actually.
06/21/02
A tedious parable about honesty and good sportsmanship.
06/21/02
A sloppy, amusing comedy that proceeds from a stunningly unoriginal premise.
06/21/02
Top CriticJuwanna Mann is full of airballs, mainly because we've seen these plays before.
06/20/02
As predictable as the outcome of a Globetrotters-Generals game, Juwanna Mann is even more ludicrous than you'd expect from the guy-in-a-dress genre, and a personal low for everyone involved.
06/20/02
... the teamwork is shoddy, the plays lack surprise and, finally, "Juwanna Mann" misses more than it hits.
06/20/02
On its own staggeringly unoriginal terms, this gender-bending comedy is generally quite funny.
06/20/02
It's disappointing when filmmakers throw a few big-name actors and cameos at a hokey script.
06/20/02
If you know the premise of this movie, you know the plot and you undoubtedly know the jokes.
06/20/02
You cannot guess why the cast and crew didn’t sign a pact to burn the negative and the script and pretend the whole thing never existed.
06/20/02
If you're willing to make like an amnesiac and buy the silly plot, there's fun to be had.
06/20/02
It's tempting to call traveling on Juwanna Mann, except it never goes anywhere. This film fouls out.
06/20/02
The cast ... is pretty much defeated by the material.
06/20/02
The utter lack of originality ultimately makes Mann unwatchable.
06/20/02
Some movies are so astonishingly, obviously bad, you're left wondering who in the world would even consider going to see them.
06/20/02
Perhaps there is only so much originality that can be mined from a premise that has been done every which way but loose, but how deeply can you laugh when you see the jokes coming a mile away?
