Critic Reviews

Ray Conlogue

Here's a truly novel sports film: It actually has a script, decent acting, sympathetic characters. And it's fun. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Steve Simels

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. Read full review

Ted Shen

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. Read full review

Carla Meyer

Women had to struggle for years to launch their own basketball league; it's a shame that the first movie to address their success is a drag comedy, and a lousy one at that. Read full review

Robert K. Elder

It's tempting to call traveling on Juwanna Mann, except it never goes anywhere. This film fouls out. Read full review

Dennis Harvey

Bringing absolutely no fresh angles to a time-tested formula that's seemed particularly overworked of late. Read full review

Charles Savage

A sad and rote exercise in milking a played-out idea -- a straight guy has to dress up in drag -- that shockingly manages to be even worse than its title would imply. Read full review

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.

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 Absolute rubbish!
