Anytime a classic movie is revealed to be getting the remake treatment, you can expect a fair amount of skepticism from fans of the original. White Men Can’t Jump from 1992 undoubtedly falls under that category, as one of the greatest basketball movies, but even the most loyal fans are likely to admit there’s some curiosity surrounding director Calmetic’s take on the story, which will be available to people with a Hulu subscription on May 19. That’s just around the corner, and those who have screened the White Men Can’t Jump remake are weighing in on social media.
One of the most important aspects to making a new White Men Can’t Jump movie was finding actors who could capture the same chemistry as Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes did in 1992.

The six-time Grammy nominee stars alongside Sinqua Walls as the character originally portrayed by Wesley Snipes. Let’s see what people are saying about the movie.
