Rating: Summary: A true Razzie Review: Every now and then, I kind of like watching a really good "bad" movie. These type of movies can be very funny and entertaining, either intentionally ("Johnny Dangerously") or unintentionally ("Mars Needs Women").
"White Chicks," on the other hand, is truly horrible. Normally, I would chalk up 5 star reviews for a bad movie as something to do with its kitsch, camp, or cult appeal. So, while I can tolerate a 5 star rating for "Pootie Tang" (a pretty entertaining and very funny bad movie), I find it disturbing a significant number of people gave "White Chicks" 4 or 5 stars.
If you watch this movie, you will have wasted 90 minutes of your life, time you could have spent staring at the ceiling or watching water freeze.
What is truly sad is that the people who did find value in this movie do not even realize it.
Rating: Summary: Extremely hilarious Review: I have watched this movie 4 times in Theatre, and would not mind seeing it the fifth time. This movie is lovably funny and nice. You can laugh till your hilt for the 1 hr 45 min. I do not care about what critics say, but this movie is a must see for people who love sense of humor and fun!!
Rating: Summary: Don't worry about the racism Review: I love this movie its hilarious, some of it is just a little to racy for me. It is alot like Scary Movie, or Austin Powers, the humor is so stupid, and mindless, that you cant help laughing!
Rating: Summary: Hysterical Review: I think this movie is hysterical. I have seen it a few times now and still laugh until my abs hurt. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but some people have to lighten up. Nothing offended me about this movie and I am a white woman. Although I am not too easily offended and love to laugh. The Wayans brothers absolutely crack me up. This movie is not meant to be true to life. It is a spoof of life and plays on certain stereotypes. If we can't laugh at ourselves than where is the fun. Better to make fun of a situation and laugh then be angry and war. So, if you like mindless humor and need to watch something not so serious, why not. I own this DVD and even bought it for my mother for her birthday, because when she saw it she couldn't stop laughing.
Rating: Summary: 5 stars for comedy, 3 overall however..... Review: the movie is hilarious, i will give it that....but the plot is just SO stupid and not believable at all. I mean, if you look past the plot problems and the believablity issues, the movie would be great. But i couldnt see past it. Although some of the scenes did have me laughing hysterically, it wasnt enough to make me enjoy the movie THAT much...Thats just my opinion
Rating: Summary: Wayan's Got Another Funny One, Read The Review, 2.5 Stars Review: The Wayans delivered exactly what was expected from a movie called "White Chicks". If you are fan of there work then this movie is right up your alley, if you have seen "Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" and "Scary Movie" you are aware of there style of comedy and the way they present themselves on the big screen, there is no material in this film that is even remotley serious and the words "stupid", "waste of ..." etc. But there movies are meant for entertainment, and isin't that what exactly hollywood was created for? This movie is stupid, i'm not going to lie but it is highly funny in scenes depending on how you take it and your own personal experiences. To picture two men dressing up as white woman and acting like rich, stuck up white folk, most of the time is hilarious especially done by the Wayans, who else would have done a movie like this? You have to accept their comedy and their efforts (who would want to dress up as a woman that is a male and on top that who would want to be a different race? the words Michael Jackson come to mind, im not going to go there). The storyline of the film is where it fails, i know it's a comedy but a little bit of realistic actions could help but regardless do the Wayans really care about the screenplay, not really, they make you laugh and that is what you might do if you watch it. You should know the the Wayans comedy by now, you could hate it, but to most people who like to laugh and aren't "serious" there entire life, may sit back a chuckle at this stupid but funny comedy that is worth a look, if you know what your expecting.

Rating: Summary: black men II white chicks Review: White Chicks is a rehash of every single 'man dressed up as a woman' movie. This plot has been done to death in countless movies like Tootsie, Mrs. Doubtfire, Big Momma's House, among dozens and dozens of others, but White Chicks doesn't bother to hide its unoriginality; it has fun with it. Add a hint of Miss Congeniality and you have the formula for this standard, but enjoyable comedy. The problem with this one is that the Wayans Bros. are totally unconvincing in their woman make-up and do not look ANYTHING like the women they are pretending to be. In fact, they look damned scary. This can get a bit distracting. If that is something you could get past, White Chicks turns out to be a forgettable but entertaining time-waster. There are a few scattered laughs and the story certainly stays interesting. Add the beautiful and extremely talented Brittany Daniel, of SWEET VALLEY HIGH fame, to the mix, and you have a fun, if unenlightening motion picture experience. Yes, it's stupid, but it sure is fun to watch.
