    Much funnier than the professional critics say it is. Miguel Nunez is a very good actor. Tommy Davison as Puff Smokey Smoke is hilarious. It's predictable but worth matinee prices.

    Absolute rubbish! I cannot believe this is considered art by some. This movie makes me more squeamish than needles, which make me quite squeamish. Juwanna Man, more like Juwanna "Not a Good Movie" Man. Haha there, now I have had my laugh, which was more enjoyable than this movie. I think I made my point. Peace.

    This movie is great to enjoy a laugh...especially for kids and parents of athletes who always have to be so serious about their sports and the competition.

    If this sounds like "Tootsie" with a ball, well, it is. Screenwriter Bradley Allenstein should be hauled up in writer's court for his shameless cribbing of that far superior comedy. Someone call a foul.

    Director Jesse Vaughan keeps the ball in play through the aw-shucks lessons in humility and generosity, but the teamwork is shoddy, the plays lack surprise and, finally, Juwanna Mann misses more than it hits.

    Comic Tommy Davidson, in particular, is hilarious as gangsta rapper Puff Smokey Smoke, who falls for Juwanna and then, in a twist lifted directly from the queen of all drag farces, 1959's "Some Like It Hot," decides he still loves her after she's exposed as Jamal. After all, nobody's perfect.
