Roasted by critics but surprisingly tenacious at the box office, White Chicks is the kind of comedy that thrives (well, maybe) on home video. Faint praise indeed, but it allows comedy fans an opportunity to cut the Wayans brothers (costars Marlon and Shawn, and director-cowriter Keenen Ivory) some slack and at least try to answer the obvious question, what were they thinking? For the sake of charity, let's ignore charges of reverse racism that plagued this would-be comedy about a pair of FBI agents (Marlon and Shawn) who go undercover as over-privileged white debutantes to thwart a kidnapping scheme, and let's allow that comedy--not social satire--is the Wayans' top priority. If you can get past the fart jokes, the freakishly unconvincing "white chick" makeup, seemingly endless gags about "white chicks" getting hit on by lusty black guys, and a plot that really doesn't matter at all, you just might find a laugh or two in the Wayans' attempt to understand women through a bit of friendly gender reversal. Tootsie it's not, but at least White Chicks offers more entertainment that Nicky and Paris Hilton, who partially inspired the story. Just ask yourself, which freak show do you prefer? --Jeff Shannon

White Chicks is Hysterical.I mean you have to suspend reality a bit since they dont look exactly like the girls, but the movie is so funny, you dont care.there are lots of non-pc correct jokes that are very funny.I just love this movie. ive watched many many times and continue to catch more and more jokes.I love the wayans bros.they are just willing to go places that others wont go.:-)
Rating: - Love this movie!
This movie is fantastic, though it is HIGHLY inappropriate for younger audiences. The unrated and uncut version includes fantastic scenes not shown in theaters that add to the overall comedy of the movie.

I'll admit that when I first saw White Chicks I had mixed feelings about it. At first I thought it was sporadically funny but at second look its pretty funny and is the last of the funny Wayans Brothers we knew.
Two disgraced FBI agents go way undercover in an effort to protect hotel heiresses the Wilson Sisters from a kidnapping plot. These two also go through a lot of hijinks involving keeping up the charade as well as dealing ... Read More

- No Laughing Matter
This is an awful movie, and not a laugh anywhere.Actually, it's quite disgusting.Not only is it racist towards whites, but it stereotypes blacks.All African Americans should be insulted, and the Wayans should be ashamed of themselves.I truly wish I could rate it zero stars.
