From 20th Century Studios, the all-new comedy "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.

Critics Consensus

Never mind being able to get air -- the White Men Can't Jump remake struggles to come up with reasons for its own existence.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Director Calmatic is both NBA and hip-hop savvy, but the film lacks any real urgency. Jun 1, 2023 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com As is, this update jumps, but never high enough. Rated: 2.5/4 May 24, 2023 Full Review Valerie Complex Deadline Hollywood Daily These remakes have an abysmal track record. First House Party was a dud, and now this? When are these films going to get better?! May 23, 2023 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rachel's Reviews (YouTube) Why remake this and add nothing new or interesting to the discussion Jan 8, 2024 Full Review Sandeep Sandhu We Got This Covered If you like the 1992 classic you might enjoy this update, but if you don’t have the time to kill, it’s probably worth sticking to the original. Rated: 3/5 Aug 31, 2023 Full Review Matt Pais MattPais.com Doesn’t exactly work up a sweat in the ideas department. Rated: C Aug 14, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Bahad j The idea behind this movie moved me a lot, but it was a movie with really satisfying expectations Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Caleb N The original movie was great and didn't need to be redone. As is the case with a lot of remakes but it's clear as day here and ultimately just felt like a cheap excuse to get jack Harlow in a movie Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/28/24 Full Review Gaming U Movie is terrible from start to finish Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/24 Full Review Miguel M Without comparing it to the original this movie stands on its own. It was fun and entertaining. Good music and decent story. It should've been called something different though. Its still a good watch. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Samuel W Comedy 10/10 with a story just as good. I think the hate for the movie comes from disappointment it's not enough like that original, but then people would still hate if it was. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Joby B Another bad remake. Loud annoying music. The original was great. This was worse than FLASH. Next up to be ruined is Roadhouse. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
