White
Men Can't Jump is by no means the one of the greatest films
of all time and won't make any top 100 lists or whatever but
I found it very watchable and entertaining.
The
story is that Billy Hoyle & Sidney Deane become partners and
instead of hustling each other on the basketball court, they
take their hustling all over L.A. trying to make some big
money but some of the time things don't necessarily turn out
the way they had planned and this allows the story to develop
further from just the basketball side of things.
Snipes
and Harrelson are excellent in the film and work very well
together and they seemed to be very natural in their roles
and played some sweet basketball. It isn't an out and out
comedy but it is funny at times and in my opinion it is a
couple of hours well spent if you see it advertised on TV
anytime. A must for basketball fans and definitely recommended
even if you're not.
