  • The 6th Man
  • 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 basketball 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!
