The Movie Diorama You know you shouldn't, but it's just too damn good to shout "No! Objection!". Much like with my 'Transporter 2' review, there are films I acknowledge as bad. I know in my head that this film is terribly atrocious. Racist, misogynistic, homophobic, sexist...every bad connotation that target social demographics. Yet...somewhere deep inside the abyss that is my soul...I just love watching this comedy. Two black undercover agents must disguise themselves as two white rich sisters. Sure, there's a crime story involving a drug bust and kidnapping, but me and you both know that we don't care for that. Don't even pretend that you wanted an engrossing story, the premise itself is obscenely stupid on all levels. No no, what you wanted was onscreen idiocy and uncomfortableness from the Wayans brothers as they dress up terribly, shoddily act and look scarily bizarre, as white chicks. It's stupid beyond all measures. So weird that we need to invent an entirely new scale in an attempt to calculate the immeasurable surrealism of White Chicks. White. Chicks. Chicks White. Chicks are white, right? White Chickens! I don't laugh at comedies, you all know that, but this film has me in fits of laughter every time. Possibly the most quotable comedic screenplay of all time, I mean that. "What a beautiful chocolate man!", "Ohhh you want to talk about mothers!" and giving a new surge of life to Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles'. Terry Crews is life, White Chicks is life, but Terry Crews in White Chicks? Double life powerrrr! He's flipping hilarious! I can't even. Jennifer Carpenter was surprisingly great as well. "Somebody throw Shamu back in the ocean!" Ha Ha Haaaa! I'm done. I realise that I'm probably still drunk from this weekend which was just as hilarious as this comedy. Stupid, basic execution and rather offensive, but ummm "ex-squeeze me!" I don't care. Funnily terrible is the best way to describe White Chicks, wait does that even make sense? I don't even know anymore, I just want my sequel...
stormhawk2018 To see this comedy - an unintentional remake of the 1959 movie "Some Like it Hot" - they must be willing to forgive the fact that no one distinguishes two blond hairs from two black disguises, as this is what seeks to exploit the film to get comical situations ... sometimes effective and other times dull: that And will depend on the taste of each.You have to ask yourself another question: if you can not stand the typical American comedies that try to search the laughter with a succession of scenes (no matter how much connection they have), this is not your movie.On the other hand, if you want to disconnect with a movie that does not require thinking and that simply entertains ... this can be a good option. It is not the best (personally I like the first "Scary Movie" of the Wayans Bros., for example), but there are others that are much worse ("Little Man", to put another example of the same creators).
Helena Aleksic Such a bad rating. 5.5 only? I give it a 10 because it made my laugh so much. It is really great and funny, good for relaxing. I recommend it to everyone who likes comedy movies. These brothers are amazing. I've watched it so many times and it never gets boring! And I've learned so many lines by heart. Enjoy the movie!
Robert J. Maxwell I didn't find it hilarious, but it does have its occasional moments.The business of he-men being stuck in a position in which they must pose as girls is amusing in itself, though not at all fresh. In fact -- let me think. I'm trying to think of undeniably masculine men who have worn dresses in movies, mostly for laughs. Without thinking too earnestly or too long, I get Tony Curtis, Jack Lemmon, Burt Lancaster, Arnold Scwarzenegger, Jeff Bridges, Dustin Hoffman, Cary Grant, and Rod Steiger. This example is a little different because the Wayans brothers, FBI men, are not only made up as girls but as white girls. Make up has done an admirable job too.That's as it may be. The problem is that the humor inherent in the situation is drained of energy because it's overdone. The thunderous sound of a man suffering from diarrhea isn't as funny as a discrete squeal. Instead of a nudge with an elbow, you get a kick in the balls. It's gaudy, fast, loud.But, man, the writers have gotten rich white chicks down pat. Something to do with a gathering of the tony people in the Hamptons. The Wayans are assigned as escorts to two of the most outrageously spoiled and narcissistic young blonds imaginable. Now THAT's hilarious because it's pointed satire and it knows its realistic limits.As a whole, the movie is a judgment call. I didn't laugh, but then I'm suffering from a severe case of restless legs syndrome and I have this terrific hangnail on my pinky. Look.
