Juwanna Mann (2002) is a movie that I recently watched for the first time in a long time on Tubi. The storyline follows an entitled NBA player who gets thrown out of the league when his antics go too far. He quickly loses all his money, endorsements, agent, girlfriend and friends. He decides the best way to reestablish himself is to dress as a female and join the WNBA. He does a great job, falls in love and has a life he enjoys. When he gets a chance to return to the NBA he will need to decide which life is better for him.

This movie is directed by Jesse Vaughan (The Last Punch) and stars Miguel A. Núñez Jr. (Scooby-Doo), Vivica A. Fox (Independence Day), Kevin Pollak (The Usual Suspects), Tommy Davidson (In Living Color), Kim Wayans (Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood) and Ginuwine (Wild Hogs).

This is a lighthearted comedy with many hilarious scenarios and cameos. Rasheed Wallace and Mugsy Bogues were great in their cameos. The opening nude sequence is laugh out loud hilarious. Tommy Davidson delivers a tremendous performance and was a character that cracked me up in every scene. The dialogue is very well written and there's some tremendous lines in this. I'll never forget "Carolina River Cricket" line. The dinner scene is also very good and reminded me of The Nutty Professor in some ways. The pee scene was also very good and the outtakes were as good as the movie.

Overall, this movie is hilarious and is definitely worth a viewing. I would score this a 6/10 and strongly recommend it.
