Desertman84 Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson star in this sports comedy about streetball hustlers in White Men Can't Jump.Screenwriter and director Ron Shelton tells a story of two con artist who picks up basketball games.Rosie Perez co-stars.Caucasian Billy Hoyle and African-American Sidney Deane become partners in hustling street games for basketball by lulling their black players as victims with the notion that white men aren't good ballplayers.Both try to raise money for their needs.But later,Deane realizes his actions aren't morally right especially selling out on his own people.They try to renew their wrongful deeds and redeem themselves as the story progressed.The movie provides a lot to themes that deal with racial stereotypes like blacks superior talent in basketball and white being less athletic.Added to that,we also get to see Hispanics come into the picture with Rosie's character of Gloria being in an interracial relationship with a Caucasian in Billy and her ability as a Jeopardy contestant.Overall,it was just more of a sports movie as it tries to disprove misguided notions about racial stereotypes.

Harriet Deltubbo Recently I have been so trapped in another round of emotional lows that I can't turn to anybody for any comfort. I am always thinking that I lack talent and that the only way I can be qualified, not successful, in competitions with others is to work harder than them so that my diligence makes up for my weaknesses. I admire the talented so much.With this in mind, I rented WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP and it made me feel like a new person. Wesley and Woody are great together. The screenplay is intelligent, focused and clever. This is a truly excellent movie, and it becomes poetic at times. Overall, I can give it no less than 7 out of 10.

snuten_st Hello guys. Im the back again. This time i seen the movie Grete White Man Cant Jumped. It was all good and all and i like a lot. My mum didn't like it as much as me did. And it was the good actor Wood Harelsen. He was grete as all ways, but it was goodies.I've have seen it with the mother of i and she loved it a lot, NOT! She hated the black guy. I think of her as the racist in my family. I liked it a lot. It was good. Western Sniper was good. He was the cool black guy with the really cool cap! I loved his cap. The cap was really cool! He also did have the cool shirt.Wood was good. His wife was hot and had nice breast. It was the nicest breast. And the basketball scenes was good. I liked it a lot. It was the cool basket and the cool black guy with the cap. It was cool music and cool slow effectes. It was a lot of racism that i didn't like bekaus im not the racist, but i like the black guy. The white guy give 3 black guys one dollar.Thanks for reeding and i want to say im am not that good at English. I like the movies in English but i have dysleksia and its hard to write in a langoege i am not familiar to. Good byers.

dsmpsm I recently caught White Men Can't Jump and, after the joyful nostalgia for my youth wore off, I couldn't help but feel sad that more than a decade on, all the white/black misunderstandings and tensions remain. For the film's sake, that's good, as the jokes and quick-witted dialog remain relevant, but still....White Men finds Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes living hand-to-mouth as hustlers on the early 1990s LA street ball scene. Knowing a good con when he sees it, Snipes's Sidney Dean quickly convinces Harrelson's character to team up so they can exploit the perennial myth that white men can't play basketball. The relationship throws front-and-center each character's (mis)perceptions about the other's race, the permanent divide between men and women, and the crazy logic us dudes will often apply to justify taking a risk "just one more time."Great on-court scenes and sharp-tongued wordplay between Snipes and Harrelson keeps the movie on track. Definitely worth the time. Too bad it never helped spawn any sort of real-life dialog on race and class in this country.
