Jamal Martin is a loud-mouth, arrogant basketball star who is
tossed from the League. In desperation to play, he pretends to be
Juwanna, Mann, a woman basketball player. The women on the
team are all good actresses and very convincing. Jamal as
Juwanna is played very well. There are some crude moments and
sexual innuendo, but it is basically good clean fun with the
phonies exposed and the good people coming out on top. Ir
reminded me of "Tootsie" where another desperate man (Dustin
Hoffman) has to play a woman in order to find a job. I give it a 6 for
creative imagination.
