I recently watched The Sixth Man (1997) on Tubi. The film follows two brothers who join a college basketball team, with one becoming a star player and the other a solid role player. When the star brother tragically dies, the remaining brother struggles to cope until his brother's ghost returns to assist him.
Directed by Randall Miller (Class Act), and starring Marlon Wayans (White Chicks), David Paymer (Get Shorty), Kadeem Hardison (White Men Can't Jump), Kevin Dunn (Warrior), and Michael Michele (How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days).
This picture movie is a mix of funny moments and missed opportunities. Marlon Wayans delivers a solid performance, although he doesn't run like an athlete. Some scenes, like the shower scream and the "talking to self" sequence, provide genuine laughs. However, interactions with the ghost feel awkward and less humorous, detracting from the overall storyline.
In conclusion, The Sixth Man falls below expectations for a comedy, offering only a handful of laughs. While it's worth watching once, it ultimately fails to leave a lasting impression. I would give it a 4/10 rating.
