Juwanna Mann

Basketball superstar Jamal Jeffries is having the worst day of his life. He's been kicked out of the NBA, just lost his girlfriend, and the bank is repossessing his house...what next? Sometimes, when you're down on your luck, the least likely plan just might work, as long as you've got heart...and good game.

This October, Warner Bros. and Morgan Creek Productions will release JUWANNA MANN, a heartwarming comedy starring Miguel A. Nunez Jr., Vivica A. Fox, Tommy Davidson, Kim Wayans, Ginuwine and Lil ' Kim. There are also guest appearances by NBA superstars Rasheed Wallace (Portland Trail Blazers), Vlade Divac (Sacramento Kings) and Muggsy Bogues (New York Knicks).





Juwanna Mann follows the story of Jamal Jeffries (Miguel A. Nunez, Jr.), the reigning 'bad boy' of basketball, whose undisciplined on-court antics land him out of the league and without any prospects.
Financially strapped and untrained in anything but basketball, Jamal comes up with a plan so outrageous it just might work: dress up like a woman and try out for the woman's basketball league.
To his surprise, he makes it, but now the real challenge begins - to cease being Jamal and start new life as Juwanna. Matters become even more complicated when Juwanna realizes that he is falling for his teammate Michelle (Vivica A. Fox), who shows him that there is more to women than meets the eye




Some comments by James.G. Robinson, President & CEO of Morgan Creek Productions about Miguel:

"Miguel is an enormously versatile young actor with tremendous range," notes Robinson. "For this film, we needed someone who could be as comfortable in a dress as he is on the basketball court and Miguel nailed it. We are delighted to have found the heart of our film."
