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

 Love this movie! June 30, 2009
Sean F. Barnett (Deerfield, MA USA)
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.
 pretty good June 23, 2009

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
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 with nosy girlfriends as well as the real heiresses' archenemies.
Funny Scene#1: The beginning where Marcus was in the shop trying to pass himself as as Hispanic was pretty funny. Especially when he broke singing Guantanamera.
Funny Scene#2: The scene where Marcus is in the car with Latrell and he breaks out into song had me laughing till I was breathless.
Funny Scene#3: The date scene with Marcus and Latrell is the funniest part of the movie hands down. Have you ever met a guy so oblivious and desperate that his desperation matches Wanda's desperation off of In Living Color? I mean I had to hold back the laughter just to watch the rest of the scene! Funny Scene#4: The department store scene is not too far behind when you talk about the funniest scenes in the movie. There were some pretty clever and not subtle jabs at the insecurities women have about their weight. Sure it was over-the-top but remember this is a comedy.
Funny Scene#5: The dance-off scene in the club was hilarious. Watching those girls shake their flat rear ends then to watch them getting disgraced by White Chicks duo on the dance floor was too funny for words.
Funny Scene#6: Kevin gets attacked by a rottweiler. "He's not my dog, he's family". Lol!
In conclusion If you can handle this type of comedy then go for it if not don't waste your time. To me White Chicks is laugh out loud romp and is the last of the funny Wayans Brothers movies. You think I'm kidding? Check out Little Man and Marci X and see if I'm wrong then.

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.
Perfect Comedy!!! March 4, 2009

This is a very funny movie. It's cool that two black cops have to go undercover as two white sisters. They have to hang out with the sisters' friends and do dance battles with the sisters' enemies. It's funny because the friends want to do girly stuff and they have to play along. If you love the comedy of Shawn and Marlon Wayans, then you'll love WHITE CHICKS!!!
