Review of White Men Can't Jump

I first watched white men can't jump years ago around the time it came out. Back then I had no idea it was directed by the same person Ron Shelton who directed Bull Durham. Of the two movies Bull Durham is my favorite.

I thought Woody Harrelson and. Wesley Snipes were good. When I was watching the movie I thought that maybe it was not realistic for actors who were 5'10 and 5'11 to be basketball hustlers.

I thought Rosie Perez was good as Billy's girlfriend. And the fact that she was studying waiting for Jeopardy to call was was mildly interesting..

And I thought the fact that Gloria and Billy were on the run from the stookie brothers was something that led to the funniest scene in the movie.

At the end of the movie the stookie brothers finally catch up to Billy. He gives them the money and then we see billy laying on a couch cushion with blood coming out of his mouth. The stookies take pictures and then bill gets up. He is alive.

So while if I thought about it I could tell before watching the movie that Billy and Sidney would be good as basketball hustlers and that Gloria would get on Jeopardy and win big.

I still that that white men can't jump was and entertaining movie to watch.
