Juwanna Mann is, for me, one of those movies that I’ve known all about for quite some time despite not being sure of whether or not I’ve actually watched the whole thing. I know the plot more or less because it had been done before in other movies and television shows.
The premise of this movie is that Jamal Jeffries, played by Miguel A. Núñez, Jr., is suspended from the basketball league and through certain other plot points ends up playing in the women’s league. This means dressing, playing and living as a woman!

You could probably guess how the rest of the movie plays out. He falls in love with a woman on his team and must hide the fact that he is male. In the end, some sort of redemption is had (I won’t give it away).
I don’t want to sound like I don’t like this movie, it’s just that I don’t remember much about it except for the fact that Núñez, Jr. makes a good-looking woman.
This is certainly one that you’ll want to watch at least once, if for nothing else but the cross-dressing scenes. While I don’t remember the entire thing, it’s not much of a stretch from similar crossdresser films. However, this may not be a bad thing.
It didn’t do well critically, but I do know people who enjoy this flick. (More on this later 
)
Here is the trailer for Juwanna Mann.

I’ve seen this movie a few times, and I think I always get drawn into it (after flipping through the channels), because it’s written on a few different levels. First, it’s funny. Then it addresses the subtle (for lack of a better word) sexism that still exists today, especially in sports, and it examines male/female relationships and stereotypes. A man passing as a woman in a room full of women talking about how ‘men just don’t understand them’, etc.
It’s kind of eye-opening. The second time I watched it, I picked up on a lot of the underlying issues being addressed in the movie.
I enjoyed this one – yes, I agree there’s nothing new here. But it is done well, and with a good supporting cast. (Kevin Pollock as the Agent is very good). I give it 3 1/2 stars — which is easier to do than 1 3/4 thumbs. THAT is just too painful!
I think we can see the movie industry does not frown upon what we do but rather embraces it for their own commercial purposes. This type of movie, gets the idea out to the general public, that cross dressing is OK. The more exposure we get the bettter.
