Just as college basketball star Antoine Tyler (KADEEM HARDISON) is about to realize his dream of making it to the NCAA Championships, he dies, leaving his younger brother Kenny (MARION WAYANS) to lead the perennially last place Washington Huskies to victory. Heartbroken, Kenny loses his drive to win until Antoine's ghost appears, determined to take his team from worst to first.

Although nobody except Kenny can see or hear Antoine's wise-cracking, prankster ghost, sports reporter R.C. St. John (MICHAEL MICHELE) is determined to discover the reason behind the miraculous comeback the Huskies make following the slump that was triggered by Antoine's death.

As the team dribbles and slam dunks its way to the championship, the outcome is both comedic and heartfelt as Kenny comes to realize he must ask "THE 6TH MAN" to leave the team so he and his teammates can play fair and square, in Touchstone Pictures' comedy "The Sixth Man."

MOVIE REVIEW

Marlon Wayans and Kadeem Hardison combine in The Sixth Man (or The 6th Man), a pretty mindless but harmless comedy about a team that is helped by the ghost of their recently deceased star. It's a basketball movie slightly similar to Teen Wolf and surprisingly stays clear of most racial, sexual, and potty jokes (although there is one funny scene where Wayans is caught talking to "himself").
