If you are looking for a film where a trash-talking basketball player must become a woman to learn how to act like a member of a team, this film is for you. That's what the previews showed me, and that's what I got. Nothing really shocking or creatively new in this film.

Is the acting okay? Adequate. The directing? Nothing special. Plot? Predictable.

Sorry I can't offer a longer review, but the only thing I can say about this film is the man makes a decent woman. Not an attractive one, but passable. This is the kind of film you watch if it's on television and you don't have cable and are too sick to go outside. Not sure why else you'd make a point to see this unless three sadistic brothers made you.

Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Núñez Jr.) is the wild partying bad boy of pro basketball. After the latest naked outburst, he is indefinitely suspended and his sponsors abandon him. He is completely broke. Even his agent Lorne Daniels (Kevin Pollak) dumps him as a client. He is forced to move in with his only supporter Aunt Ruby. He comes up with a crazy idea to be Juwanna Mann, a female player in the WUBA. He tricks Lorne into representing him. He clashes with team leader Michelle Langford (Vivica A. Fox).

The setup is stupid. I'm not even expecting good. I didn't know there is money in female basketball. The character is an annoying douche. This is even worst than I feared. This setup is all wrong and it makes any attempt at humor ridiculously bad. The jokes are broad and obvious. It is terribly predictable. This is nowhere near Tootsie level. That's the target but I'm not sure if the film knows it.

Before watching the movie, I assumed that Jamal got injured and forced out of the game. Imagine if he was a dunk machine with no other skills. He gets injured and without any other skills, he can't get work anywhere. In desperation, he tries out for the worst female team and barely makes it as a bench warmer. He humbles himself and learns to become a 3 and D player. That would be my pitch.

OK, it had two laughs. But it's just a rip off of Sority boys. A sexist man who gets kicked off of his basketball team joins the girl's basketball team just to somehow get back on. I don't remember. But it was pretty bad.
