"White Men Can't Jump" is a lively movie, almost to a fault. Blessed
with a provocative title, perfect theatrical release timing, and a

improvisational loquaciousness caught many off-guard, generating a rowdy
atmosphere of put-downs and double-crosses, soaked in a distinctly
urban Los Angeles atmosphere of desperation. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
