For those who don't remember this movie, it's about a pro basketball player who is cut from his team and is unable to find another team to take him due to his past problems. Since he can't get back into the men's league, he decides to pretend to be a woman and join a women's basketball league instead. He then ends up falling in love with one of the players.

I remember watching this movie a few times when I was a kid. I'm not too fond of it to be honest, but it was on tv at the time, and I watched it, and I enjoyed it as a kid. But the film has kinda been forgotten, and I bet that's to do with how the world is today. A movie like this would never be made today.

Here's a trailer to refresh your memory:

The trailer with "Being a superstar is a total drag". Yeah, this movie has not aged well.

Yup. I watched it. I remember thinking it was funny. The concept would not go over well with today's cultural climate. I think a lot of these movies are not brought up today because of cancel culture. Certain things in comedy are just not allowed anymore though people like Dave Chappelle don't care and I appreciate him for that.
