White Men Can’t Jump – Great B-ball Flick

Play ball!This is one of my all time favorite movies!  There is just something about playing a little b-ball and talking a lot of smack on the blacktop that gets me going, and brings me back to that time.  The chemistry between Wesley Snipes and Woody Harreldson is great throughout the movie and add greatly to the overall enjoyment.  The only thing that brings this movie down is Rosie Perez, but that’s o.k., it’s a basketball movie!

Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes star as a pair of hoop hustlers in this comedy of friendly rivalry and constant cons.  Even if you are no basketball fan, the film’s many game segments generatesinterest in the personality clashes of its protagonists. Harrelson plays Billy Hoyle, a professed college dropout traveling the country with his girlfriend, Gloria (Rosie Perez), trying to make a buck by betting on his own prowess as a basketball player in pickup games.
