The 2023 remake of "White Men Can't Jump" fails to capture the energy and personality of the original film, with lackluster depictions of basketball and uninteresting characters. The film's attempt to update racial dynamics falls flat, and the excessive use of contemporary slang and overwrought backstories exemplifies the lack of risk-taking and imagination in Hollywood's reliance on intellectual property.

Directed by Calmatic, the film stars Sinqua Walls and rapper Jack Harlow, who make a credible effort but are hard-pressed to live up to the charisma of Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. The chemistry between the two leads is the key to the film's success, and while the screenplay by Kenya Barris and Doug Hall provides occasional laughs, it ultimately falls short of the original.
