This is a cult classic; the critics hated it when it came out but it has a lot of staying power as a social critique and one that makes fun of everybody. It's got a few obnoxious moments and a lot of low-brow toilet humor but I really enjoyed it. The Wayans brothers are hilarious, and I think the terrible makeup that's makes them obviously very unnatural looking adds to the comedy. A lot of funny scenes, like the dinner date with Terry Crews and the girls all singing along to rap music in the car.

A good comedy movie that I think is very funny and will get plenty of laughs from viewers.

I think that's why it got such low stars on IMDb. Why is everyone so harsh on the film? I actually laughed at most of the movie. Yes, some of it is a little over the top silly. Sometimes you need that though. I don't know. Maybe I was in one of those good moods. And I could've just liked any movie. But I did think that this was very funny. There are some typical moments in a man dressed as a woman comedy. Shawn and Marlyn do make some ugly women. But that is what made this movie so funny. I would recommend it for a silly laugh. Remember, just don't take it seriously. Come on IMDb users, HAVE A LITTLE FUN! That's what makes movies fun and enjoyable.

7/10

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")

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).

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.

I would have never seen this movie if it wasn't for younger siblings. It's the kind of movie you don't think you will ever see and I saw it and I laughed again and again.

I didn't find it racist because I found the comedy mostly geared toward differences between men and women and the most hilarious aspects of the film come from the Wayan's brothers dressing up as the girls and the tribulations they have.

Personally I can understand how anyone over the age of twenty might not find it as funny. It's a comedy mostly geared toward younger people in the way of Night at the Roxbury or even Clueless. My advice would be to see it but don't expect too much...maybe you'll like it.

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.

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.

From the previews and my own idea of what the movie might be like, I was very hesitant to spend the time to even give this one a chance. That is, at least, a critical part of this movie. You must at least give it a chance. If you aren't willing to take a leap, then I doubt you will get much out of it...and even then it won't be a huge amount. Quickly from the outlandish premise, the characteristic differences of a rich white woman and black man are laid out heavily. This will form the foundation, one might think obviously, of the movie. Most of the movie for me was watched through a wince of pain as a train wreck unfolded before my eyes. Although, that is simply part of the fun and entertainment here. You know it is ridiculous, and thoughts of, 'Wow, how much worse could it be' seep in and you begin to enjoy it. If you are looking for shallow comedy, yes, you have found it...and there is nothing wrong with that.

I found the man playing Latrell to be a solid inspiration of humor. He put what may be the best performance into this movie and even saying that now surprises me. He was hilarious. The Wayans brothers do as well as anyone could hope to in their role, playing to the ridiculous situation well.

Another movie in a trend of superfluous comedy. White Chicks has its place here, and is worth seeing. After all, what price can you put on a laugh, even if its only one.

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.

Move over Shakespeare, because White Chicks (2004) redefines the art of disguise and sibling loyalty in a way that's truly unforgettable (for better or worse). This masterpiece stars Shawn and Marlon Wayans as FBI agents who decide the best way to solve a case is by turning into literal white chicks. No one questioned it, and honestly, neither should you.

The transformation? Iconic. The plot? Questionable. The humor? Absolute gold. Watching the Wayans brothers stumble through high society as Tiffany and Brittany Wilson is like watching a car crash-it's horrifyingly hilarious, and you can't look away. From the epic "A Thousand Miles" sing-along to the dance-off that puts Step Up to shame, this movie delivers laugh after laugh in the most absurd ways imaginable.

Yes, the makeup looks like something out of a haunted wax museum, and the premise is as ridiculous as it gets, but that's the charm. It's a glorious, unfiltered, politically incorrect rollercoaster that screams early 2000s comedy at its finest.

If you're looking for subtlety, you're in the wrong place. But if you want a movie that makes you laugh so hard you snort, White Chicks is your new best friend. Five stars for the laugh-induced abs workout and the iconic "Yo mama" showdown.

Let me just say firstly the title of the movie was wrong. It obviously made people assume that the film was about the differences between black and white people. I would say about less than ten of the jokes, out of the film containing tens upon tens of funny lines, was about the racial differences.

It was about men learning about what women go through in life. They get to experience different people that women encounter, such as strong overpowering men, rude devious women, fashion, shopping, waxes (ouch!), etc.

But instead of making you feel like you're being lectured, they make you laugh and learn instead.

The Wayans are not making fun of white people, they're mocking people such as the Hiltons; the false life that people like them can lead; how money can hide people from reality and can lead to corruption.

On the DVD, you can see for yourself what the white actresses have to say. That they enjoyed themselves, and love the concept. Who would join a cast who were making fun of your race? If the Wayans disliked white people so much, they would've gotten black actors/actresses and put them under make-up, instead of hiring white actors/actresses in the first place. Even the director states that this film is about the differences between men and women.

Please give this film the same chance that you would give any other.

P.S. Was Mrs. Doubtfire making fun of old people?

I saw this at the drive in, it was a double feature with Spiderman 2, which was excellent. I debated wether to stay for it or not and decided to check it out.

I had extremely low expectations for this movie and was surprised, it was allot better than I thought it would be. Occasionally I like to take in a dumb movie, but there is funny dumb and there is lame dumb, I'm happy to report that this was funny dumb. Not as funny dumb as say Dumb and Dumber or Stuck on You, but still not as insulting as I thought it'd be.

There were a few jokes where you groaned, but in the most part this was an enjoyable movie.

Of course you know what you are in for when you sit down to watch a comedy that is starring both Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans. But it should be noted that the 2004 "White Chicks" is certainly a rather memorable and enjoyable comedy. And it is one that is well-worth sitting to watch.

Writers Keenen Ivory Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Xavier Cook, Michael Anthony Snowden and Andrew McElfresh put together a rather enjoyable and funny script and storyline for the movie. I am a bit amazed that so many writers could effectively manage not to muddle it up, writing together.

The storyline is enjoyable and funny, crammed with funny characters and hilarious situations. I have been genuinely entertained every time I had sat down to watch "White Chicks". And on that account, then I will say that "White Chicks" is a movie that you

The acting performance in the movie are good, and aside from Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans, the movie also has the likes of Frankie Faison, John Heard, Jaime King, Lochlyn Munro and Terry Crews on the cast list. I have to mention that Terry Crews is hilarious in this movie.

Whilst Marlon Wayans and Shawn Wayans are in their undercover costumes as the 'white chicks' they look amazingly disturbing and downright scary. And that definitely makes the movie all the more enjoyable to watch.

My rating of director Keenen Ivory Wayans' 2004 comedy "White Chicks" lands on a well-deserved six out of ten stars.

Talk about double standards! Its a good job some of us have thick skin I suppose.

This movie is simply funny, it aims to make you laugh and no more. Anyone who dissect the plot and put the acting and screenplay of this film under a microscope is missing the entire point of this movie.

This is a comedy, not a documentary or an historical saga, this is plane humor, dumb with a bit of a slapstick taste... The entire situation is fictional of course and that's what so funny about it. I've read some comment about this movie here and the people who wrote these comment are way off, talking like those big-shot movie critics.

This is a fun movie to watch with a "stupid" yet hilarious story, simple comedy and a lot of what some people call "toilet humor" (which is always funny) - it's nothing more than pure entertainment and it leaves you with a smile on your face which is never a bad thing, right? I've seen this movie 5 times and I still laugh my heart out! :-D

This movie is actually not that bad, a story starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans as two disgraced FBI agents assigned to go undercover, disguised as blonds, to protect a the Wilson Sisters, hotel heiresses, from a kidnapping plot.

This movie is full of crude humor and jokes, but they are not overly done, which makes this a tolerable movie to enjoy. This movie also pokes fun at people of different culture and background, harmless enough to appreciate the humor than rather to be offended about it. I especially liked Terry Crews' character, portraying a non-stereotypical black man who likes teenage-pop music.

This movie is probably not meant to be taken seriously, as the plot is and overall story are average at best, but it's really not bad of a fan to enjoy a good laugh from.

Grade B-

I have been a huge fan of the Wayans brothers since In Living Color and have seen Don't Be a Menace... and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka at least 15 times each. Given the premise, I wasn't expecting White Chicks to be the greatest work of the brothers but I wasn't expecting it to be one of the worst films I have ever seen either.

This film is just plain awful. The only people laughing in the cinema were a couple of 11 year old girls sitting nearby. I could sit here and write an essay on why this film is so bad but I don't want to re-live the experience of sitting through it. Trust me, its that bad.

If you are only familiar with the Scary Movie films and want to see more of the Wayans brothers then hire out I'm Gonna Git You Sucka. At least you will laugh.

After seeing the Wayans Brothers in Scary Movie 1 and Scary Movie 2 I had high expectations on this film, not because they are comic geniuses or anything, but because they are one of the few toilet humor actors I can tolerate and even find quite humorous under the right conditions. White Chicks pulled out all the stops, and remains one of my favorite movies to watch till this day.

There was just so much hilarious material, that was quite different from some of the other comedies I had recently seen. Yes, the main plot is really unbelievable, but it pays off. All the cast knew what kind of film they were working with and slap it up whenever they can. One of my favorite scenes is in the dressing room, and another is at a restaurant. I will leave it at that for those who have not seen it. This film left me smiling long after it was over, because it started off strong and carried out the whole way through. That's all it really needed to do. I must say that there was nothing wrong with this film at all, and that it was totally funny. It was kind of obvious how when the brothers in the film dressed up to be the sisters they looked nothing like them, but I still thought it was a great underrated comedy!

The movie had a few funny scenes in it. I actually saw more funny scenes in the movie then I did in the previews for the movie which is a good thing. Some of the characters are annoying as hell, but some also are very funny. If you're looking for a great movie, this is not it, but if you're just looking for a few cheap laughs to tickle the funny bone, this will probably suffice. It is probably JUST funny enough to justify a viewing, just be sure that you're in the mood for this kind of movie. I like the Wayans brothers, they seem like pretty nice guys, so I'm inclined to give them a favorable review. There were a lot of things that could have been "overdone" in this type of movie, like a lot of animosity between Wayans and the two "rival" non-African FBI agents, but they kept it at just the right level, thank god. I actually liked most of the scenes involving the other two FBI guys, so they did a good job writing the parts for those two. The Latrelle Spencer character was also very funny and great. Worth a watch probably. 6/10.

After watching the adverts I thought this film looked racist and a pile of crap. Which is unfair. this film is not racist. It is, however a pile of crap.

I think the people who find this funny must have had a lobotomy. What a waste of money this film is. I am so sick of crappy films like this that have a weak story, and even weaker jokes. I guess I must be asking too much to watch a comedy thats smart and funny. I would also like to point out that the only reason I went to see this was because it was my sisters birthday. Shes 12 and thought it was mindless crud. A lot of Americas 'comedies' don't appeal to me to be honest. they usually involve slapstick to make up for the fact that they are not funny. I think ill stick with The League of Gentlemen (hilarious TV show) and Little Britain.

don't watch it. its two hours of your life you'll never get back. you have been warned. white chicks is a forgetful pile of poo

My friends and I planned on going to see a movie on a Saturday night. The movie White Chicks came up and I was adamant on not seeing the movie. It was your stereotypical comedy: bland, tasteless, gross-out humour and stupid jokes that made no sense. I didn't even see the movie and I knew that. Yet everyone insisted on seeing it, so instead of seeing Fahrenheit 9/11, Spiderman 2 or even Anchorman ... we saw this. It lived up to my very low expectations. The people that were laughing the loudest were the three children sitting in front of me during the flatulence scenes. This movie is tired, old and predictable. No wonder the Wayans are being sued; half the movie is ripped from other popular comedies. Just save your money and do not watch this. My friends owe me a coke for not laughing during this snoozefest.

Basically, it's another comedy with a far fetched plot, but is still entertaining. It's about two screw-up FBI agents who dress up as two white socialites for a weekend because the real girls get a scratch on their face (due to another screw-up) and don't want to be seen in public. So many of the jokes are fish-out-of water type. From pop music to skin tight pants. And there is this NBA player who continually hits on one of them. Those scenes were pretty funny, especially when he finds out she's a guy. All he can say is "you aren't white." Then they have a dance off between rival socialites that was funny.

FINAL VERDICT: Not to bad. At least it had some funny parts.

Back together, where they should be, Marlon and Shawn are a couple of Paris Hilton 'type' chicks. I didn't see this movie until it hit television. I don't even know why, I heard it was funny, I saw the 'previews' in the theater, but missed this in the cinema. Too bad, for me although even still it was hilarious on the tube! my wife who is tougher to please in movie comedy than I am and we both laughed to side splitting degrees.

From the past titles of Wayan's Brothers films, this fell right into perfect place. This was directed by Keenan who is a comedy whiz kid anyway! He a has always had my sense of humor I felt, for years since, " I'm Gonna Git You Sucka! " he has put some of the funniest and best, most entertaining programs I can remember. There is something a little different about the delivery and explanation of a story that is written and directed by Keenan and his family.

But from the dark roots and the blond attitude, this is a comedy with a foul and funny pitch! The white chicks m.o. was right down Shawn and Marlon's alley. They had these two better than the 'real two' themselves. The Valley girl Hampton charity party martini crowd, was a over-privileged good time!! The FBI should be so lucky to have two as fine as these chick-fellows. This is a really fun filled two hours that will not leave you let down, the story is fresh and filled with Wayan good -humor.

These two blonds with dark roots can kick and punch too!! (****)
