Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
ofumalow This is better than I expected--it looked awful, and turns out to be relatively funny, although the humor varies between absurd/inspired (like the club dance-off) and just-kinda-dumb-and-broad (the slapstick fashion show finale). But the saving grace is Terry Crews, who is pretty far down the cast list but steals the film as a star athlete who has a taste for white meat and doesn't shrink from focusing that attention on our "heroines"--no matter that they're actually black men in white female drag. He's so good I don't know why no one has built an entire comedy movie around him--I've seen him in lots of supporting roles but no leads. (I haven't seen his TV work, though of course he's done a lot.) It's taken me a long time to see this movie, but the takeaway is that I should have spent that whole time following Terry Crews' career more closely. He's a riot.
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...
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!
TonyMontana96 (Originally seen many years ago) I have hated this film for a long time, and I still do, it think's it's funny, but for people with comedic taste, it's 90 minutes of torture. The Wayans who also made the dreadful Little man from 2006, have no shame, they throw out these alleged comedies every few years, and it's putting me off the entire genre. White Chicks is a film for imbeciles, it's complete and utter garbage and the worst comedy of the pre 2010 era.
