Man, who has had no such luck, dresses up as a woman of the opposite sex and with that, good things happen to him, whilst at the same time, trying to conceal his identity to the people he deceives. Juwanna Mann is another one of those films that joins Mrs Doubtfire, Some Like It Hot, Tootsie in the same league, and is - if not as entertaining as those flicks.

I'm having a quarter life crisis and watching Juwanna Man. I'm trying to normalize Juwanna Man so we can start the healing. I'm doing this for the black community. I'm an ally.

My middle school basketball teammate Brian would make me watch Juwanna Mann on the tiny screen in his mom’s Ford Windstar every time she drove us to practice.
