It's fun and laughs for everyone as big-screen funnymen Marlon Wayans (SCARY MOVIE I & II) and Kadeem Hardison (WHITE MEN CAN'T JUMP) score big in this high-flying comedy that redefines "team spirit"! When college bask... more »etball superstar Antoine Tyler (Hardison) dies unexpectedly, the dream of winning an NCAA Championship alongside his younger brother, Kenny (Wayans), dies with him ... or so it seems! Suddenly, Antoine stands to make the greatest comeback of all time ... as a ghost who becomes the team's invisible "sixth man" the crowd can't see! You'll love every hysterically funny dunk, steal, and assist as Antoine helps Kenny and his team take another shot at winning it all!« less
This was fun when the brothers were kids but it quickly soured beyond watchability. I quickly hit the 120X FF, ejected and left this movie in the dust! Don't waste your time even if you were tempted by the Wayans being in this! It's a rotten apple!

One Movie to Watch

"....Marlon Wayans and Kadeem Hardison will make you laugh over and over again.After a star college basketball player dies of a heart condition, his little brother must take the team leader role. The older brother comes back as a ghost (that only his brother can see) to lead the team to be one of the best in the nation. They pull off some great tricks on the other teams like making a opposing player who picks on his little brother shoot a free throw like a quarterback throws a pass. The 6th Man is an excellent comedy for anyone, especially teens."
Very entertaining.

"This video tends to get overlooked. It is entertaining and without the cheesy antics that grownups would sleep through. The movie's story about brotherly love that transends death is both happy and sad. A great video for the whole family. Some objectional language though."
Great

"I have probably watched every sports movie there is, and this movie just seems to stand out way more than any of them. It's probably my favorite movie of all time. If you have never seen this movie, please watch it. It will be worth your time I promise."
The 6th Man: A comedic/loving triumph

"This movie was great back in the day man. Just like so many other movies that I get off amazon or from wherever, I used to watch this and never get tired of it. This is a story of two brothers, Antoine Tyler(Kadeem Hardison) & Kenny Tyler(Marlon Wayans) whos lives are centered around being college basketball stars. Brothers who love and care for one another and that have been through everything togeather. Including their father dying & their rise to the NCAA with college team The Huskies. Things take a turn for the worse when Antoine(Hardison) takes it to the hole for a big jam and looses his breath after the dunk. He falls flat back on the ground and the game is delayed. His brother Kenny(Wayans) immediantly comes to his aid and finds out that Antoine is going to the hospital. He wanted to go with him but Antione said no, stay here and finish. 'I'll be back.' Kenney and the Huskies suffer a defeat and Kenney rushes to the locker room to pack up and go to the hospital only to find out his brother died on the way there by his coach and he is devastated. Though the Huskies continue on, they just keep losing and losing every game and can't seem to win without Antoine. In an empty stadium one night Kenny drops his bags and talks to his deceased brother. Saying he can't do it without him and that they need him. This truly teary-eyed tale continues on with his brother returning as the ghostly 'Sixth Man' as he and his brother reunite and the Huskies pick up their game intensly. There are many hilarious scenes of Antoine messing with Kenny such as him going on a date. Only Kenny can see him so it just makes it that much greater. I don't wanna spoil anything else so yea just use your imagination. Wayans is the perfect guy for this and when its all said and done and they say their goodbyes you can't help but shed a tear with the great acting. If your a fan of basketball or if you just want some good laughs and don't mind crying, this is definetly for you. A great movie and something you will definetly hold on to in your collection as of of the your favs."
The Funniest/Saddest Movie

"The first time I saw The 6th Man was about 5 or 6 years ago. I remember laughing so hard and also crying so hard. Its a remarkable story about 2 brothers, one of which is dead. This is one of my favorite movies and in my opinion, one of the best movies of all time. Also, the soundtrack to this movie is awesome!"
