Topic: Juwanna Mann


  
  Juwanna Mann - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Juwanna Mann is a 2002 comedy movie that is directed by Jesse Vaughan.
Juwanna Mann follows the story of Jamal Jeffries, the reigning 'bad boy' of basketball, whose undisciplined on-and-off-court antics have him indefinitely suspended from the league, without any prospects.
During her first WUBA game, Juwanna is on the bench, viciously biting a towel.

 Juwanna Mann
Juwanna Mann suffers from a lack of humor, and a stupefying lack of logic, especially the ending (that is, if people feel the need to sit through the entire movie.
Juwanna is actually Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Nunez, Jr., Scooby-Doo, MacArthur Park), an arrogant professional basketball player.
Since there is not a shred of originality in Juwanna Mann, director Jesse Vaughn needs to have the friendship of the Banshees begin to change Jeffries' personality for the better.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Juwanna Mann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Ever since it first hit theaters, Juwanna Mann — the story of a cocky ex-basketball player (Miguel A. Nunez, Jr.) who resorts to dressing in drag to get back on the court — has been compared to Tootsie.
Juwanna's plot is completely by the gender-bending comedy numbers: Arrogant hotshot Jamal Jeffries (Nunez) gets kicked off the Charlotte Beat (and out of the league) after going on one ego-trip too many.
Nunez is game — no pun intended — as the sassy, strong Juwanna, and he makes her a much more appealing character than Jamal, but all the enthusiasm in the world couldn't turn Bradley Allenstein's script into a slam-dunk.

 TheMovieBoy Review: Juwanna Mann (2002)
It may only be June, but "Juwanna Mann," directed by first-timer Jesse Vaughan, is already the second cross-dressing comedy of the year.
"Juwanna Man" is a relatively painless trifle, brightened considerably by charming performances from Miguel A. Nunez Jr.
How distressing it is when an art form (even something by the name of "Juwanna Mann") is compromised for a measly MPAA rating and a few extra dollars at the box office.

 The Flick Filosopher | Juwanna Mann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Juwanna Mann is nothing if not a sorry retread of Bosom Buddies, the 1980s Tom Hanks/Peter Scolari sitcom, which, if I recall correctly, jammed more gender-bending comedy and gender-relation commentary in one slim 22-minute episode than the brains -- and I use the term loosely -- behind Juwanna Mann could ever hope to conceive.
Of course, men as a species don't fare too well either: the idea that men are assholes to women in general until they fall in love with one specifically is a pretty dispirited view.
Juwanna Mann is the kind of clichéd junk during which the first (and, please God) the only time you see if, you can speak the dialogue right along with the characters, because it's so paint-by-numbers you can see it all coming a mile off.

 Louisville Scene | Movies | Movie Review | 'Juwanna Mann'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Directed by first-timer Jesse Vaughan from a script by Bradley Allenstein, "Juwanna Mann" offers us Jamal Jefferies, a pro-basketball star who is so disruptive and self-involved that he gets himself kicked out of the sport.
Aside from repeated shots of Juwanna digging his pantyhose out of his rear (and one clever pantomimed moment involving Juwanna and a urinal), the laughs are scarce.
Miguel A. Nunez Jr., who plays Juwanna as a kind of female Little Richard (if that isn't a redundant idea), has energy but lacks the comic skills that someone like Chris Tucker might have brought to the role.

 Juwanna Mann- Tommy Davidson & Kim Wayans
Juwanna Mann (JM) is a universal comedy that delivers a number of subtle moral messages.
It too was a satire, but with a Spike Lee attitude and insistence on posters featuring fl actors in fl face, the film found major newspapers not accepting ads and distributors reluctant to give it a chance for box office success.
Kim aspires to develop her own TV sit-com in the near future and Tommy wants to be seen as a comedian with something worthwhile to say who happens to be fl, as compared to just a funny fl man.

 SPLICEDwire | "Juwanna Mann" review (2002) Jesse Vaughan, Miguel A. Nunez Jr., Vivica A. Fox
The line flubs and other outtakes that run with some movies' closing credits are often the best part of a bad comedy, but "Juwanna Mann" is the first movie I've ever seen in which the outtakes contain all the cut scenes the movie needed to be any good at all.
But get this: Not until the those aforementioned outtakes are there any scenes of Jamal trying to transform himself, wiggling into skirts and working on his high-heel walk.
Since "Juwanna Mann" is nothing but a string of shopworn clichés -- Jamal pees standing up while in a dress, Jamal fights off the lecherous advances of a ghetto-clown rapper (Tommy Davidson) -- it's no wonder the flick sat on a shelf for two years before getting dumped into theaters.
