White Men Can’t Jump, but they sure can be in unfortunate remakes
Ron Shelton’s 1992 comedy White Men Can’t Jump is a stone-cold classic. It’s got three movie stars — Wesley Snipes, Rosie Perez, and Woody Harrelson — at the top of their game. It’s a funny film, devoting long stretches to effortless hangout scenes on Venice Beach basketball courts, where the characters talk endless shit while also playing some killer hoops. And it’s a layered character drama, where racial tension is one of several layers in a story about hustlers and trust.
