This is an interesting concept that I actually wish had worked. The plot involves an NBA player who is booted from the league when his antics get too outlandish...so, he poses as a woman and ends up joining the WNBA. The potential here is pretty solid, but it ends up working considerably less than "Baseketball." Miguel Nunez Jr. has the lead role as Juwanna Mann and has a supporting cast of Vivica Fox, Kevin Pollak, Tommy Davidson, Kim Wayans, Lil' Kim and others who seem to have a bit of chemistry. The story is unbelievable, not always bad...but it doesn't work here. Tommy Davidson does a nice turn here as "Puff Smokey." It allows him to cut loose with some solid character comedy...Unfortunately, I don't think the direction here, by Jesse Vaughan, took full advantage of the skills of his cast. The pacing was odd, the balance was off and generally it just felt uneven throughout the film. A good idea, not well realized.
