It's Big Momma's House on the three-point line in this broad farce, which marks the leading man/woman debut of longtime character actor Miguel A. Nunez.

Critic Reviews

  • Ted Shen, Chicago Reader

    The idea of transposing the story to the macho, greedy world of big-time sports is promising, but director Jesse Vaughan delivers only flat dialogue and predictable situations.

  • David Germain, Associated Press

    The movie is sloppily edited, the gags limply staged, the dialogue and jokes stiff and stale. Even the action on the basketball court is unimaginative and boring.

  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

    A Tootsie-role sports farce that's a drag in every which way.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    Simplistic, silly and tedious.

  • Laura Sinagra, Village Voice

    This flat run at a hip-hop Tootsie is so poorly paced you could fit all of Pootie Tang in between its punchlines.

    Miguel A. Nunez plays Jamal Jeffries, a NBA bad boy whose court antics are so outrageous; he gets booted out the league so he decides to dress as a woman and join the WNBA. To his surprise, he makes it but ends up starting to fall for his teammate, Michelle (played by Vivica A. Fox.)… More

    Hilarious! Miguel A. Nunez Jr. is fantastic. This movie leaves you laughing hard. Ginuwine does a guest appearance, a pretty interesting role.
