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.

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.

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.

Ever since I watched this movie, I was in a state of dilemma whether to review it or not.

Publishing your reviews for this movie meant revealing your inner guilt of loving this "killer comedy", so be it.

Let it be known to those who desperately need a break from all the chaos of the world and just want to have a good laugh (may not be healthy, coz it is too much to handle).
