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.

What to Know

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.

Julian N Aug 1 Fun! The music was great! See more Jul 2 This new take on White Men Can't Jump tries to be a modern remix of the iconic 1992 film. Honestly didn't come into this movie with any expectations and I loved it! It's definitely not a movie to take seriously but if you want a classic story arc with funny and modern comedy then this is it. It doesn't try anything too bold and doesn't make you cringe at any point! I enjoyed this film so much, I've already seen it three times. Hilariously funny. See more Jan 1 So, the film is great for laughing, but that's it... If you play basketball and think you'll identify with it, well, you won't See more Finnegan6674 F 11/22/2024 If you are expecting a movie near as good as the original movie you will hate this as much as I do. This is a lazy rewrite of a classic movie. Not funny and not entertaining at all. See more Ronald R @RonaldMiamiMovieCritic 10/30/2024 Great Movie!!! Highly Recommended!!! A++ 🍿🎥🍿 See more TRAVIS G 10/13/2024 Not really worth watching. I skipped ahead multiple times looking for a plot and action. Why does this movie exist ? Lol. See more Read all reviews
