Review Summary and Plot Commentary about The Sixth Man
When the brother of a college basketball player dies, he comes back as a ghost who helps his brother win games. Marlon Wayans is hilarious as the ghost, and Kadeem Hardison does a great job portraying his brother. Together, they lead Wayans' team to the Final Four.
