Old Man Movie Summer continues with the hoops playground classic White Men Can’t Jump. This show quietly became 33 years old this year which surprised people I mentioned this to - including myself.
Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson star as Sidney Deane and Billy Hoyle and from their 1st showdown - nope Sidney wasn’t going to Sizzler - their chemistry is electric, even if Wesley’s hoop skills were…problematic.
The action is fun, the dialogue is snappy, there was a legendary cameo by Marques Johnson and the trash talking was practically its own character. (How was there not a Larry Bird cameo??)
Pop in for the fun, pile into the comments and at least give us a Go Big Red. If enough of you tune in tomorrow night, I promise to lower the temp in Omaha and Lincoln by 20 degrees - Promise!!
