Synopsis: White Men Can’t Jump is a modern remix of the iconic 1992 film that celebrates the streetball hustling culture of Los Angeles. Multi-platinum rap superstar Jack Harlow makes his movie debut as Jeremy, a former star of the game whose injuries stalled his career, and Sinqua Walls stars as Kamal, once a promising player who derailed his own future in the sport. Juggling tenuous relationships, financial pressures and serious internal struggles, the two ballers–opposites who are seemingly miles apart–find they might have more in common than they imagined possible. READ REVIEW

Release Date: May 19, 2023 (USA) | Length: 101 min | Genre: Comedy, Drama, Sports | MPAA Rating: Rated R for pervasive language and some drug material. | Note(s): This film finally got around to a release date. Kenya Barris, E. Brian Dobbins, Paul Hall are producers on this project. Marquis Salmon, Unguzi and Zacorri were in the original cast list but not in the final one. I wasn’t able to identify Milan Legend Taylor, Josef Thompson, Larry Powell, Makaio Thompson or Nickolas William Thomas. Not sure if the Tarell Meeks in this film is the fashion designer.
