| Plot |
| Ron Shelton ( Bull Durham ) wrote and directed the basketball-oriented seriocomedy White Men Can't Jump. Woody Harrelson plays a white con artist who hustles basketball games with black players, lulling his victims into the misguided notion that white men can't match up with black hoopsters. One of his victims, African-American Wesley Snipes , becomes Harrelson's "agent," arranging his various inner-city scams. Snipes doesn't feel as though he's selling out his own people; he goes along with Harrelson to provide a better life for his wife ( Tyra Ferrell ) and son. The film breezes through several zany sequences, including one liberal-baiting satirical moment set at a black/white "solidarity" basketball game arranged by an ambitious politician. Crooked gamblers intrude upon the last scenes of the film, but Harrelson is rescue by his girlfriend Rosie Perez , a Jeopardy freak who realizes a lifelong dream by winning big on the Alex Trebek -hosted game show. -- Hal Erickson |
