Early reviews of the 2023 reboot White Men Can't Jump agree that it pales in comparison to the Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson-led original.
The reviews for White Men Can't Jump are out, and critics are collectively unimpressed. White Men Can't Jump follows the story of two hustling former basketball stars, Kamal and Jeremy, that team up to try and win a local championship and secure a $500,000 grand prize. Their biggest obstacle in achieving their goals is ultimately themselves and the flaws that have thwarted their success throughout their entire lives.
8 The Jokes Are More Modern, But Less Funny In The Remake Both White Men Can't Jump films feature characters who love to poke fun for a competitive advantage. Harlow's character is especially good at this. While the jokes are more modern, they fail to hit throughout the remake. Critics have said, "the new version may be more current, but the old one rings more true" . The humor is more genuine in the original White Men Can't Jump.
5 The Remake's Story Is Rigid & Lacks A Fluid Pace The original White Men Can't Jump created an on-screen energy that felt compelling and lifelike. According to critics, screenwriters "Barris and Hall’s bloated script spends far too much time building in off-the-court motivations" . The White Men Can't Jump remake's screenplay contains a choppy arrangement of scenes that fit the pace to match its narrative at the expense of the film's flow.
