Review of White Men Can't Jump (2023) by Brian Lowry for CNN — 19 May 2023
At its best this White Men Can’t Jump conveys the fragility of hoop dreams, while tackling what former players do with their lives once the promise of signing bonuses and sponsorship deals appears to have fizzled.
(NBA star Blake Griffin, incidentally, is among the producers, joining several of his contemporaries in establishing a Hollywood toehold while still suiting up.)... On that level, at least, the movie works reasonably well.
It’s the hitches in the rest of its game that prevent it, even as a streaming proposition, from being anything close to a slam dunk.
