Contemporary 'White Men Can't Jump' Remake Misses the Mark.
TL;DR Summary
The 2023 remake of "White Men Can't Jump" fails to make its mark on pop culture like the original did. The film relies on using rappers, influencers, and famed producers to add weight to this hollow shell of a movie. The script tries to be quirky with subtle racism and microaggressive gags that are never utilized in interesting ways. The film stars Sinqua Walls, Jack Harlow, Teyana Taylor, Lauren Harrier, and Lance Reddick.
