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.

Too funny.. a cult classic that never goes out of style... obligatory to see repeatedly from time to time, because it never disappoints, and always brings a lot of laughs!!

I'm not too much of a fan of the Wayans brothers, but this time they shined, both as actors and as producers.... Terry crews is another one that does not disappoint and gives birth to an already cult character in the comedy films of the 2000s

many believe that giving too much importance and praise to this film is a mistake or sounds incoherent, since there are things that do not make sense or implausible situations that do not add up even if they happened in fiction.... but it is no less true that it entertains , and a lot to the viewer.

Very good and very funny comedy... love it.

After an unsuccessful mission, FBI agents Kevin Copeland (Shawn Wayans) and Marcus Copeland (Marlon Wayans) fall in disgrace in the agency. They decide to swap their bad position with his superior Section Chief Elliott Gordon (Frankie Faison) working undercover in an abduction case, disguised in the two spoiled white daughters of a tycoon, Brittany and Tiffany Wilson, getting in hilarious situations.

I like the silly and funny movies that Keenen Ivory Wayans directs. His formula, mixing gross, low level and racist jokes are hilarious and highly recommended for days when you are down and trouble. My soccer time lost the game in the afternoon and I was very upset. While watching "White Chicks", I laughed a lot and I really liked this comedy, which will never be nominated to an Oscar or to Cannes. But it is delightful to shutdown the brain and feel amusement and joy with this type of silliness to improve the humor. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "As Branquelas" ("White Chicks")

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.

If you haven't seen this movie you're missing out on a classic and original comedy that ages like a fine wine.

The fact this only has 5 stars is atrocious. It's at least a solid 8 stars or at least 7, but not 5.
