Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Despite charismatic performances by Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes as nothing-but- net shooters who might be called the Schmo and the Bro, White Men Can't Jump throws up mostly bricks.
– Carrie Rickey,

fresh:
White Man Can't Jump is most effective at the beginning -- when it's bouncing along with the exuberance that Shelton brought to such other sports-minded movies as Bull Durham and The Best of Times.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,
2 Apr 2014
fresh:
Harrelson's performance is rich, subtle, and delicately funny. And Snipes is just amazing: everything he does seems to leap off the screen.
– Terrence Rafferty,
New Yorker,

fresh:
They're black and white instead of fat and thin, but Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson have the makings of a classic comedy team, the Laurel and Hardy of the half-court game.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
A fresh and exuberant romantic comedy that is as smart about playground basketball as Bull Durham was about minor league baseball.
