    Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

    As anyone who has peered in on the actual WNBA for five minutes knows, professional women basketball players are as tough as men. That the film treats this as a joke isn't funny -- it's the height of lame condescension.

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

    Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

    Predictable to its very core, and in a funny way the predictability is part of the fun. The movie is in on the joke of its own recycling.

    USA Today Mike Clark

    This isn't the worst movie Warner Bros. has brought out this summer (Scooby-Doo, boo on you), but for it to work, you have to accept the irredeemable stupidity of almost every character. Time better spent: a Shaquille O'Neal film festival on video.

For Families provided by Common Sense Media

Iffy for 12+

Cross-dressing sports comedy has lockerroom humor.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has a lot of raunchy humor, mostly revolving around Jamal's anatomical differences from his teammates, but pretty typical for the increasingly graphic PG-13 rating.

  • Families can talk about the behavior that got Jamal fired from his team at the beginning of the movie. How would the average person have been treated? Also, how does Jamal's attitude toward -- and treatment of -- women change over the course of the movie? What does he learn?
