White Chicks

Okay, I was dragged kicking and screaming to this movie. I made my friends pay for my ticket in protest when the majority voted to see this and I was stranded at the movie theater without my car. When I first heard of it, I thought the premise was absurd, the make-up laughable and the jokes seemed racist. I was right about the first two things. Yes, you are not fooled for one minute that Marlon and Shawn are actually either of the 2 pampered princesses they impersonate. Yes, you can't imagine anyone else being fooled either. But for one moment, just suspend your disbelief and take this movie for what it is... a comedy. A gut-busting, rolling on the floor laughing and quotable one-liners kind of comedy. This was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. This movie makes fun of everyone-- black, white, rich, poor, dorks, cool people... no one is safe. And the brother who falls for Marlon in disguise had me pee-ing in my pants! And there's even bit of commentary about social and racial stereotypes. All in all, an enjoyable experience.

I think that's why it got such low stars on IMDb. Why is everyone so harsh on the film? I actually laughed at most of the movie. Yes, some of it is a little over the top silly. Sometimes you need that though. I don't know. Maybe I was in one of those good moods. And I could've just liked any movie. But I did think that this was very funny. There are some typical moments in a man dressed as a woman comedy. Shawn and Marlyn do make some ugly women. But that is what made this movie so funny. I would recommend it for a silly laugh. Remember, just don't take it seriously. Come on IMDb users, HAVE A LITTLE FUN! That's what makes movies fun and enjoyable.

7/10

This movie never fails to make me laugh, it's the perfect parody humor. The acting is good from most of the cast and though the storyline is basic, it holds up. There are so many iconic moments, Terry Crews singing A thousand miles, the fitting room scene, and the epic dance off. One of my favs for a go to laugh.

So I am not a fan of "homeboy" movies but every time I see this movie come on I have to watch it. I laugh myself silly every time. I cannot help it but the Wayans Brothers totally kill it with this one. It is so not about a plausible plot but about being extremely entertaining. With a great cast of characters. I definitely do not watch movies for hidden meanings, a significant message, or the artistry. I watch movies purely for entertainment and enjoyment and this one definitely fits the bill!For those critics who just want a meaningful just pass For those of you wanting pure laughs and entertainment!!! WATCH IT But why listen to me. make up your own mind.

This is a cult classic; the critics hated it when it came out but it has a lot of staying power as a social critique and one that makes fun of everybody. It's got a few obnoxious moments and a lot of low-brow toilet humor but I really enjoyed it. The Wayans brothers are hilarious, and I think the terrible makeup that's makes them obviously very unnatural looking adds to the comedy. A lot of funny scenes, like the dinner date with Terry Crews and the girls all singing along to rap music in the car.

A good comedy movie that I think is very funny and will get plenty of laughs from viewers.
