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.

Audience Says

Even though it's nowhere near as entertaining as the original, White Men Can't Jump is still a decent enough way to pass the time.

Director Calmatic is both NBA and hip-hop savvy, but the film lacks any real urgency.

These remakes have an abysmal track record. First House Party was a dud, and now this? When are these films going to get better?!

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

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.

Not really worth watching. I skipped ahead multiple times looking for a plot and action. Why does this movie exist ? Lol.

Definitely not nearly as good as the original. This kind of movie needs star power. But since a rapper is the main character it was destined to be as bad as a TV release.

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
