Juwanna Mann

 

Hey Everyone! 

I hope your May is going well, and that you all are doing Well, I have decided to write about the movie Juwanna Mann starring Miguel Nunez Jr, Vivica A. Fox, Tommy Davidson, Kevin Pollak, Kim Wayans and a whole wonderful cast of people! 

The movie starts with a man named Jamal Jeffries whose undisciplined on and off court antics, have earned him a bad reputation in the basketball community.

Jamal is dropped from his basketball team the Charlotte Beat and suspended indefinitely after doing something crazy in protest of being removed from his game, his agent Lorne is unsuccessful in finding him a new basketball team and cuts him as a client.

 Consequently without a team or agent, Jamal's life goes downhill: the endorsements he had drop him, and he unfortunately ends up bankrupt due to his lavish spending, his belongings are repossessed.

His mansion house is foreclosed on, and his current girlfriend Tina who was only with him for his fame and money leaves him and walks out on him.

Now is his current situation he goes to live with his Aunt Ruby who takes no nonsense because he is currently homeless and without a job or money, and she is the only woman Willing to put up with him in spite of his antics.

 He lacks other skills, he decides to dress up as a woman named Juwanna Mann, to play for the Charlotte Banshees of The WUBA the fiction version of the WNBA.

His Aunt Ruby reluctantly agrees to help him, and his agent Lorne who doesn't have any choice but to help after Jamal reveals himself as Juwanna, as a team member he has to get a physical from the doctor to avoid getting the physical and getting found out, he acts as the team mascot, as Juwanna Jamal quickly becomes a star on the court and his overall attitude changes drastically as well.

He is learning how to play with a team rather than himself he is becoming successful with the banshees and finds himself in a problematic relationship with his teammate and roommate Michelle, whom he has feelings for he cant act upon them because Michelle only knows him as her confidante Juwanna, his situation is complicated further as Michelle is involved in a romantic relationship with rapper Romeo who ends up cheating on her,  while Jamal as Juwanna is busy warding off the advances of Romeo's aggressively amorous sidekick Puff Smokey Smoke.

 Eventually Jamal is given a chance to return back to the mens league, the hearing takes place at the same time as the Banshee's first play off game, After Much Debate Jamal sticks with his team the Banshees and makes the winning shot and he shatters the blackboard, he accidentally drops his wig, and because of this it reveals his true identity and he is immediately fired from the team, consequently the banshees saddened by this revealed deception, begin to suffer on the court as a result. 

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next, I can tell you it is a happy ending to the story and Jamal Jeffries ends up happy in the end.

I decided to write about this movie because I really enjoy and like basketball, I think Basketball is a really fun sport and it is a really great sport to play because it teaches you a lot.. and you get a lot of exercise and endurance from it.

 I also like basketball because it reminds me of my family, my family loves basketball everytime I see a basketball game or basketball movie I always think of them because I know how much they enjoy and like basketball I have a few cousins that played basketball and they are absolutely incredible at it.

They are very excellent at playing basketball! Whenever I would get a chance to see them play in person I would always be so amazed and so excited to see them play because I loved seeing the joy and happiness on their face while playing basketball and playing with their teammates! 

 I think with playing basketball you have to share the ball with your teammates because they are the key in helping to win the game too, the spotlight cant just be on you.. you have to share the spotlight and give everyone a chance to shine and have a moment in the sun, and remember to rely on your teammates during the game that's why they are there to help so your team can win the game, Teamwork makes the dream work! 

Humility is also an important thing to have, at first Jamal is a arrogant ball hogging Superstar who views himself as the only important player on the court, later he learns that he is not the only player on the court, he has teammates and he learns how to be kind and be a team player and humble himself while playing with his teammates and playing basketball.

My favorite scene from the movie is when Jamal as "Jawanna" goes on a double date with Michelle and Romeo and Romeo's sidekick Puff Smokey Smoke the whole scene is very funny, It always makes me laugh every time I see the scene I think it will give you a good laugh too! The other scene that makes me laugh is when Puff drops" Juwanna" off at home that scene gives me a laugh too!

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good and funny comedy sport movie!
