White Chicks Movie
Storyline
TAGLINES PLOT SUMMARY
When brothers and fellow FBI agents Marcus (Marlon Wayans) and Kevin Copeland (Shawn Wayans) accidentally ruin an otherwise painstakingly executed drug bust, getting back into the good graces of their boss becomes a high-priority assignment in itself. With this in mind, Marcus and Kevin take on a case far beneath their usual standards when they agree to escort socialite sisters Brittany (Maitland Ward) and Tiffany Wilton (Anne Dudek) from a private terminal at JFK Airport to their hotel room in the Hamptons. Once there, two considerably higher-ranking agents will take over the girls' protection. The extra security is no mere perk of wealth, however, as it appears that Brittany and Tiffany have been targeted by a serial kidnapper. The FBI hopes to apprehend the perpetrator by using the girls as bait, unbeknownst to them. The plan may have worked if it weren't for Kevin and Marcus, who manage to let the sisters in on the secret. Understandably, neither of them want any part in the process, so they force the brothers to come up with a radical solution: With the help of an FBI lab scientist, the very much African-American Kevin and Marcus will be transformed into two white women who could pass for Brittany and Tiffany. The agents must keep the charade up long enough to lure the kidnapper, but fooling everyone involved will be the job of their lives. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans, White Chicks also features James King and Lochlyn Munro.

posted on 21 Aug 2009This is the single worst movie I have ever seen I can only thank god that I didn't waste my own money watching this crap. Omit about 35 seconds of funny moments and you have the most inane, assine, boring, stupid movie ever. This movie makes not another teen movie look Oscar worthy it was that bad. I don't know what else to say but this is crap. If you wanna know more about the plot etc. read other posts because I'm not going to waste my time covering it. If you actually enjoyed this movie I implore you to stand up and justify yourself. And people giving this a 10 come on. I'm shocked its not on the hundred worst of all time list yet. 1 out 10 If you must watch this I suggest you borrow from some poor sucker who actually paid to rent or even worse bought it because I wouldn't waste my money on it.
This movie rocked. I woke up my household from laughing so loud.
posted on 05 Aug 2009Since I first saw the preview I knew I wanted to see this movie, and I was not disappointed at all. I have never laughed so hard in my life. This movie was so funny. The Wayans brothers did a terrific job with the acting, writing and directing. Shawn and Marlon are flawless together. I don't think there is anything that these brothers cannot accomplish together. I loved their movie Scary Movie and I have always enjoyed their humour, but this movie was more than I expected. Plus, it's always nice to see guys understanding a woman, even if it is just in a movie.If you feel like a nice out of the ordinary comedy..then this is the film for you. But I should warn you, some scenes are not suitable to watch while trying to take a drink of your soda. Cuz that stuff is just going to come flying out when you least expect it.
Its not funny anymore (was it ever?)
posted on 30 Jul 2009Do Movie Producers Really Think We are This Stupid?I have been seeing previews for this horrifyingly bad movie, White Chicks almost non-stop. It makes me wonder- what kind of idiot would want to go see a movie like this? 1. Men dressing up as women to solve a crime is no longer funny (was it ever?) Its been done about a million times. 2. The "white people are so lame jokes" are played out and no longer funny- in fact, they're offensive. Yeah, they might have been funny when Eddie Murphey did them in the 80's, or when Richard Pryor did them before that, or when Red Foxx did them before that.I guess the no-talent Wayans brothers thought everyone would think that hip black guys dressing up as lame white women would make for a hillarious combination. It doesn't- and I don't even have to go see the movie to make that statement. Simple turn on the WB and watch how white people are portrayed in every sit-com- its rude and its offensive, and if the table was turned, there would be outrage. ...and men dressing up as women hasn't been funny since Tootsie (Was it even funny then?).
The Norton Trio Won't Always Be There For You Wayans'
posted on 10 Jul 2009WHITE CHICKS Hold on, why couldn't they have dressed as Black Chicks, oh yeah, they wouldn't look different at all. Can anyone give me one Wayans movie where they haven't dressed up as ladies? Don't Be A Menace doesn't count, Jack White and Michael Costanza ghost wrote that (the other Norton Trio members acted as Directors).In White Chicks, there's never really any jokes. It's just the Wayans acting like girls for 2 hours. There's no setups, no punchlines and no laughs. There is a lot of "I think I'm gonna play some Time Crisis 3." At least for me there was (5 times to be exact).Somebody has to tell Kenan Ivory, Damon, Marlon, Shawn, Damien (the only talented one), Kim, Rakeesha, George W., and Osama Bin Wayans to stop making movies. Its only hurting the O-Zone layer.VERDICT 1/2* out of ****
Hilarious...and not racist!
posted on 08 Jul 2009From my opinion, this is a great movie. It is funny as hell! I am Korean, and I saw it it with my 3 caucasian friends, and we all thought it was hilarious. I could understand how some people may interpret this movie as being racist, but if you don't focus on something as negative as that, and just sit back and watch the movie, you will realize that it is very funny. The situations that they get themselves into are so funny, and it is just hilarious to see 2 black men portray 2 white chicks. I suggest this movie to anyone with a decent sense of humor. I love the wayans bros. Scary movie and Scary movie 2 were great, and I loved their TV show. That is one talented family!
"FACE/OFF" meets "Some Like It Hot"
posted on 08 Jul 2009WHITE CHICKS **1/2 Shawn Wayans, Marlon Wayans, Jaime King, Frankie Faison, John Heard, Busy Philipps, Brittany Daniel , Jessica Cauffeiel, Terry Crews, John Heard, Eddie Velez, Lochlyn Munro, Maitland Ward, Anne Dudek, Rochelle Aytes. Frequently funny high-concept comedy about a pair of black FBI agents forced to pose as a pair of spoiled rich bitch white girls (think the Hilton sisters) who are scheduled for a prestigious gig in The Hamptons where a possible kidnapping is set to go. Kudos to Greg Cannom's slightly creepy looking yet affective make-up and a game Crews as a horny would-be suitor on the prowl. Comes across between 'Face/Off' and 'Some Like It Hot' but eventually runs out of gas by the film's pedestrian ending. (Dir: Keenan Ivory Wayans)
I actually thought it was pretty funny
posted on 31 May 2009White Chicks is no 4 star comedy or no excellent movie but it is still entertaining and funny. When I was about to see White Chicks, I knew I didn't want to pay 6 dollars for a movie that looks terrible when I could go see Anchorman. I saw it and I thought it was funny. It's not hilarious,i's like trash funny. The Wayans brothers were great actually, I loved there voices and there laughs were great!! The story was low on juice and actually some of the humor was pathetic. Somethings in the movie are like, "What the heck did that come from?." Most of the humor was very stupid but the Wayans brothers delivered very funny performances.6.5/10
Great fun, if you are in the right mood.
posted on 27 May 2009As you can see by looking at the other comments. You'll either love it or hate it. The problem is if someone is going to tell you it's a great flick....chances are you won't like it, because you've got on your thinker or critic's hat on.I went into the movie thinking : "This is gonna suck!." And therefore I approached it as just a little light entertainment.Because of the excellent latino interpretation the Wayan brothers did in the beginning, and the Schwarzenegger accent of the icecream delivery guy ..the mood was set..I had a big smile on my face...which remained on my face for the rest of the movie...only to be interrupted by bursts of loud laughter. My wife and I laughed so loud in some parts of the movie...the bed shook..I have to admit we both haven't laughed at a movie so loud for a long ...long time. The humour is definitely on a teenage level, but I refuse to let that get in the way of a good laugh. a Lot of people might find some of the stuff too offensive for their kids to see. But I actually found it good clean humour and would easily let my 7 and 8 year old boys watch it.Fringe : Terry Crew is definitely the man of the match!!!! (So to speak...) His facial expressions alone, are worth seeing the movie for.Conclusion : All in all this could be a fun movie if you are in the right mood. Enjoyment rating 8/10 Plot 0/10
Highly Recommended For Days When You Are Down and Trouble
posted on 17 May 2009After 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")
OK, for its genre
posted on 05 May 2009This movie is your typical brainless comedy. It's the kind of comedy that the Wayans brothers are famous for, and there's a reason for that. It's really quite funny.This movie, as is customary with this type of comedy, even has something to say about relationships, both with friends and with significant others. I'm sure that this was always a part of the story, but it does give you the sense somehow that it might have been a means of fleshing out the script and characters.Sure, it's not cutting edge comedy and the acting isn't great, nor is the story, but it's a Wayans brothers project. It's not going to be a genre-busting offering, but the visual jokes are funny and provide a couple of laugh-out-loud moments, as do some of written jokes, because Shawn and Marlon know where the laughs are, and go all out to shake every last titter out of you. Sometimes it doesn't quite work, but hey, they've definitely tried with this one.So, if you're looking for an intelligent comedy, you won't find it here, but if you want a couple of hours where you can leave your brain in your coat pocket and just laugh, and let's face it, why not, then go for it!
Beauty is skin deep
posted on 03 May 2009"I have to be a white woman and then everybody think i pretty"... is a quote from Marlon Wayans. He is magnificent in the film and really brought out the feminine side of the character. I would love to see this film over and over simply because it was funny, emotional, deep, and had a lot of feminine morals but my favorite part was the dancing which was shown in all the trailers. I would rate this film as the best I have ever seen, and I thought Marlon was beautiful as a woman and it really does make the phrase "beauty is skin deep" have a new meaning. I have to admit, apart from a sore stomach and tears in my eyes from laughing, I did learn some things from the film, and that is the joys of shopping.
Underrated funny comedy
posted on 25 Apr 2009I haven't seen too many Wayans Bros. movies, but I am glad I saw this one. A group of friends and I had won free passes to a preview before it was actually released and we were all uniformly amused. The movie is funny and entertaining. Though it is also silly and often stupid, It is chock full of fun gags and mishaps and great jokes and lines.The Wayans are consistently funny in this film and the characters around them are equally funny, whether they are good guys, bad guys or in between, the whole movie is funny.I was in stitches through majority of the movie. It is certainly not a work of art and the premise has more than been done before, but Black working class guys into White, rich, snobby Hamptons girls...c'mon, it is vintage!!I think people are way too hung up on the whole race issue and take things too literal when it comes to poking fun at whites, blacks, rich, poor or whatever!! Take it at face value. A good, er, uh "family" movie with lots of laughs. Even if you are not a great fan of the Wayans, it is worth seeing.
Oh, it's good because it's bad!
posted on 23 Apr 2009Right from the start I knew this film would be appalling but therefore hilarious. Rules to conduct a successful drug deal arrest from the Wayan brothers:1. Do the deal in the front of your shop counter. 2. Don't check if you've actually been given drugs before you try to arrest the 'perps'. 3. Don't have back up available. 4. When things go wrong, start shooting hap-hazardly in the direction of the shop window with no thought of hitting passers by.Even though the joke at the start of the film was that the Wayan FBI brothers had got the wrong perp (who were delivering drugs posing as ice cream sellers) the legitimate ice cream sellers didn't think anything of taking payment of thousands of dollars in cash in a suitcase for one ice cream delivery! That's some good ice cream!! And if they were 'going rogue' in this first case, where did the Wayans get that cash from in the first place?This all happens in the first 5 minutes, and it literally doesn't get anymore plausible. I can suspend disbelief to enjoy a concept as much as the next film fan but this stretches things. The two white girls the Wayans are posing as have friends that think nothing of the broad shoulders, big arms and general behaviour of these 'girls'.This is a stupid film with plot holes, tired concepts, lazy jokes and underdeveloped comic set pieces. One for silly girls who want a giggle and some wishy washy 'men don't understand us' philosophy. This is a little racist as it promotes stereotypes of black and white people like 'The Fresh Prince Of Bell Air' did.
Comments from a mom of "white girls".
posted on 13 Apr 2009My beautiful white-princess daughters and I rented this movie and we had so much fun! We laughed so hard at some of the scenes. We enjoy the Wayans brothers humor and appreciate how they are equal opportunity comedians. Every group gets poked fun at. They have an unflinching view of the ideosyncracies of both the white race and their own. It is refreshing when someone can see themselves for what they are and can laugh at themselves. It seems that people in general take themselves far too seriously and take offense so easily. I remember when the Wayans were doing the show, In Living Color. More than a few of their own brethren were offended by their humorous portrayal of the foibles of their own community. We should all grow to level of maturity that allows us accept that we aren't perfect and that some of the things we do are indeed fodder for humor. The Wayans have done more to advance the growth and prosperity of their culture than anyone can understand at this time, but someday people will look back and see. Anyway, deeper philosophy aside, it was a hilarious movie and that Terry Crews is too cool! Have a good day!
Totally Hilarious!
posted on 26 Mar 2009OK, this if for all you people who have been crazy enough not to have seen this movie.The plot is about two agents, Kevin and Marcus Copeland, who are in all honesty really bad, they never get the right guy. After a mishap in an ice cream shop the chief makes them drive Brittany and Tiffany Wilson, two spoilt stuck up bimbos, to a fancy party at their arch rivals house, Heather and Megan Vandergeld. The chief suspects Brittany and Tiffany's lives are in danger. Well after a BF and a car crash (no one dies) Brittany and Tiffany refuse to go the party leaving Marcus and Kevin with one option, go the party themselves disguised as the sisters! There they meet up with the girl's shopping mad friends, the bitchy Heather and Megan, and a black rich guy called Lattrell Spencer who's in love with Brittany. As time goes on, the two agents uncover a sinister plot to kidnap the real Brittany and Tiffany. But if that's not bad enough, Marcus' wife and her suspicious friend think Marcus is having an affair and decide to go to the Vandergeld's home to find out what the hell is going on! I won't reveal anymore but i will say that there are a few surprises in store for you. The movie is great but i've given it a nine because of the rude comment Heather Vandergeld makes about African orphans. I find this very offencive because my mum comes from Africa and it's like insulting her and the 100,000s of people living in Africa right now. But apart from that the movie was hilarious. I'd definitely get it out on d.v.d.
One of the most funniest movies i've ever seen
posted on 14 Mar 2009I couldn't believe just how much i laughed. I laughed so much that a little bit of wee kept coming out in each scene. In almost ever scene of the movie there was a funny part. The ideas they came up with in this movie were just so funny. My tummy hurt so much, i advise you eat as little as possible while watching this movie as it'll make you laugh so much that it hurts. The black guy who falls in love with one of the white chicks is just too funny. I believe critics really criticised this movie bad for no real reason, they just don't have the kind of humour that is needed to watch a movie like this. The only people who wouldn't find this movie funny are grumpy people and old people.
another Wayans disaster !!!!
posted on 28 Feb 2009Keenan Ivory Wayans is probably one of the worst directors, i swear he has no real knowledge on how to make films. he has made one brilliant film and that is scary movie. scary movie 2 was OK too but everything else Keenan has made are real disasters. avoid such titles like don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood..... i know, what a title !!! obviously this film too, just anything that has Keenans name in the credits.it was an hour and a half on stupid nonsense that never made me laugh. just trust me on this, maybe women might like this film a little because of some of things that happen but on a whole this film will never be liked by anyone with a good taste in films........ 1/10.......j.d Seaton
Funny but hardly a classic
posted on 26 Feb 2009Bumbling black cop team Kevin and Marcus pose as threatened heiresses to protect them. The brothers' resemblance to the heiresses (who had great bodies - shame about their faces), at least when they were not grimacing, was remarkably good I thought - a testament to modern cosmetics technology.The premise had potential and while there were some funny scenes and sketches, the gags seemed a bit overdone ("look at me, I'm funny"), the dialogue and overall pace dragged. Relatively predictable with few interesting surprises.Correct me if I'm wrong but this seems to be the Wayans first effort at big screen comedy. If so it's not bad for a first effort but hardly brilliant and ultimately forgettable.
Well done to the Wayens brothers, you have just successfully lowered the global IQ.
posted on 16 Feb 2009This is absolutely, hands down the worst movie I have seen in years. I was looking for an easy watch but Jesus! I was handed this movie after a long days work and was disgusted just reading the title. I was informed that it was "actually hilarious" so turned my brain off for a couple of hours of "bubble gum comedy". Now I understand some people take a while to twig on to a joke, but why the incessant pauses after a really small and lame joke? most of the so called punch lines were strained to say the least, with nothing other than toilet humor and bad taste behind them, sure you may want to giggle, but then move on! The makeup and jokes were so bad, the script was written for 12 year olds and the stereo types were actually "too much".....like "too stereotypical" and I didn't think that could be done.Utter trash.
Great Stress Reliever
posted on 29 Aug 2009Four words - HI LA RI OUSI'm a critic by nature, so I'm here to say this movie was truly funny.I saw this movie with my best friend and we cracked up from the beginning to the very last scene. There was a scene with a button that popped off of Shawn Wayans pants and that is what almost happened to us both while watching this movie. We could not stop laughing and nearly busted a gut. I can't get that song out of my head. Shawn made a cute girl and Marlon wasn't bad himself. I applaud all the Wayans for allowing us to witness their unique gift. I now have a new profound respect for Mr. Terry Crews. He made the movie what it was..........Funny, funny, funny! On the way into the movie an employee told us it was a GREAT STRESS RELIEVER and that sums up the movie for me. Thanks!
