Story Synopsis

Billy Hoyle (Harrelson) is a chump. At least that’s what Sidney Deane (Snipes) thinks of him when they meet on the beachside basketball courts of Venice, California. Turns out, Sidney’s the chump after Billy beats him out of sixty-two dollars. What else can these two pick-up artists do but team up to hustle unsuspecting weekend athletes out of their hard-earned cash...or watches or rings or whatever else they’ve brought to the court. White Men Can’t Jump is good for a lot of laughs, and Rosie Perez is fantastic as Billy’s finance-minded girlfriend, Gloria.
