Advantages: A side splitting laugh out loud laughter movie Disadvantages: None for me
...and directed by Keenan Wayans, White Chicks is a comedy focused around the wealthy white society that was released back in October 2004.
****Story line****
After a bumbled assignment FBI Agents Kevin Copeland (Shawn Wayans) and Marcus Copeland (Marlon Wayans) are the laughing stock of their department. In order to redeem themselves and progress their careers, Kevin and Marcus agree to a rather unusual assignment that involves babysitting two rich ... ...men impersonating two young, attractive, white females and actually managing to pull it off, even to the extent that their closest friends can’t tell the difference, is absolutely ridiculous, but it makes for many side splitting and laugh out loud moments.
Every time Kevin and Marcus are dressed as the Wilson sisters I can’t help but laugh. Their ‘white skin’ suits are unrealistic, they look like real transvestites and their voices are so masculine ...

Advantages: It's only 90 minutes Disadvantages: Nothing new, few laughs, tiresome
...been many great examples of white people masquerading as black people, black people masquerading as white people - all for comedic effect. Who can forget the hilarious Soul Man starring C. Thomas Howell, then of course there was the side splitting True Identity which saw Lenny Henry enthral audiences the world over with his portrayal of a black guy disguised as a white guy on the run from the mob. Naturally I'm being ironic and both these films sucked.
... ...books in no time!
White Chicks appears to be written by that top-secret piece of screenwriting software that only Hollyood studios possess. What it does is take a bunch of worn out cinematic clichés, throws them all together and at the touch of a button a fully-fledged screenplay is written. They'll be no thought in it, but it will be formulaic enough to make some decent change at the box office. The story ticks all the familiar boxes. There's the ...

Seeing that White chicks has an average member rating of 4 stars appeases me a little, but this must be one of the most under-rated movies of all time. It stars the hilarious Shawn and Marlon Waynes, famous from 'the Wayan Brothers', and their performance in this is exemplary. Plot: In actual fact, I do not think that many people would realise this film has a plot if they have only seen it once. Having watched this film numerous times, I think I ... ...hit in the upper class white environment. My opinion: This has to be my favourite comedy by some stretch. I have always been a fan of the Wayans, and their performance in this movie is brilliant. Many people do enjoy criticising the lack of similarity between the original Wilson sisters and the transformed Wilson sisters, but this just adds to the hilarity. The movie is very original, and the 'dance offs', 'your mutha duels' and gut-busting one liners ...

When I first heard about this film I was somewhat sceptical about it, I mean... c'mon black people pretending to be white. I was a bit worried that it might cause too much controversy and put racism in the spotlight. But I was very much surprised, as not only did it not come across like this, but also it has become one of my favourite all time films!!!
After FBI agents Kevin (Shawn Wayans) and Marcus (Marlon Wayans) Copeland make a complete and ... ...grocery store, they get relegated to acting as chauffeurs on their next assignment - picking up heiresses Tiffany and Brittany Wilson from the airport and drive them to the Hamptons, where the bureau will tail the socialites who are believed to be targets in a kidnapping plot. But it seems these two agents can't even get this simple task right, and they end up causing the Wilson sisters to get scraped faces whilst trying to save their dog from falling ...

Advantages: funny, original lines Disadvantages: -
White Chicks, so many contrasting opinions over one film, I warn you now if you do not like silly humour then do not see this film. I was at the cinema one day and was planning on seen another film but at the time I went White Chicks was all that was playing so it was either that or nothing. I had heard in the advert that it was about 2 black guys dressing up as white guys and as most people would do at that description I just thought "what a load ... ...team in to make them white and to become the sisters. The rest of the film is all about them trying to fit in and be ladylike, to be accepted. The film does sound stupid but I have to say most people I know who have seen it have found it really funny. I was surprised by how funny it was and there are a lot of original jokes in here. The acting you cannot expect to be of Oscar standard but still if we are considering if they were successful actors ...

And the DVD extras also come with a trailer of the movie photo stills of the movie

Advantages: Very funny, keepsyou laughing all the way! Disadvantages: You forget who's who under the masks!
This is another installment from the Wayans brothers. They brought us the likes of Scary movie.
Shawn and Marlon Wayans are useless FBI agents, always getting things wrong.
On a last chance assignment, all they have to do is pick up some sisters from the airport (whot he FBI think will be the next kidnap targets in a huge kidnapping ring) and deliver them to a social party.
Things happen (funny things!) that force the sisters to stay in the hotel ... ...So, with usual madcap effects, they decide to call in some help and have the girls scanned to create rubber masks for the the Wayanbrothers to wear.
They go to the social with the air and graces of a buffalo with the squits and mess up everything but the case.
There are some REALLY funny moments in the film, like when a thief snatches a bag from one of the brothers, instead of standing there and crying, like their 'friends', he gives chase through ...

White Chicks
Picture this scenario; there are two FBI agents who need a big bust to get back into the good books with their chief. So they decide they must go full out in trying to solve the case, which involves them dressing up as women and pretending to be famous socialites known as the Wilson sisters.
Well ok, I know the above sounds pretty stupid and that's because it is but believe me that this film want let you down for a good laugh. The ... ...do a good job in keeping it funny throughout with plenty of humour and practical jokes. The two FBI agents are the Wayans brothers, Marlon and Shawn who play their role to a very good comic standard. There is a good soundtrack throughout the film, and its of decent quality.
These two guys are down on there luck, they just messed up a big drugs bust and desperately need something to show they still have what it takes to be a agent. Now this is where ...

Advantages: Hilariously funny, brilliant soundtrack, great director! Disadvantages: special effects werent so great, sorry!
This film made me howl with laughter and it isnt a lie! Its one of the best films i have seen in ages and not many films make me laugh. The film really starts off about two fbi agents who have to baby sit the two sister paris and nicky hilton spoofs all beacuse of a kidnapping threat. Because of a tiny car crash the two sisters couldnt apear at the haptons show and therefore the two fbi agents (kevin and Marcus) had to dress up as the two ladies ... ...risk of being sacked! Of course they get into so many difficulties and thats what makes it so hilariously funny!
The actors Marlon Wayans (kevin) and Shawn wayans (Marcus) played the part of the two fbi agents, both achieving tremendous acting. Shaun wayans made his first acting debut in 1989 in his brother keenen ivory wayans 'im gonna git you sucka' Then joined the cast of the award winnign comedy series 'in living colour' He also appeared in ...

Advantages: Hilarious main feauture and loads of brilliant special features. Disadvantages: The humour can sometimes appear "desperate"!
Another simply hilarious film from the director of the popular Scary Movie, Keenan Ivory Wayons. Much of the humour seen in Scary Movie is integrated and developed in this masterpiece, as two desperate African American FBI agents disguise themseleves as the super-rich Brittany and Tiffany Wilson! The film breaks out into frantic humour when the Wilson sisters gain facial scars from a near car accident and they refus to leave the hotel room. In order ... ...to disguise themselves as the sisters.
This is a typical American comedy film that is overloading with attitude and is a film that will guarantee outbreaks of laughter from start to finish.
Along with the main feature, the DVD is a also packed with fun filled speacial features that enable hours of fun and entertainment. If the main feature failed to gain any laughs, then the speacial features definitely would. the speacial features include a wayans ...

What a classic movie.
The two main roles are played brilliantly by Shaun and Marlon Wayans. As soon as heard these two were in another movie, i had to go straight out and watch it, and i was definately not dissapointed. In fact i have watched in numerous of times and it still has me in stitches whenever i watch it. It starts with brothers Marcus and Kevin Copeland, 2 FBI agents that are looked upon by their fellow collegues as incompetant. A big ... ..."baby-sit" 2 rich daddys girls as part as an FBI job. The comedy starts when the 2 "Princess's" have an accident caused by one of the brothers and so disgusted with their "scars" that they cannot attend the biggest weekend of the year at the Hamiltons. Marcus and kevins job depends on getting the girls there, so are left to immitate the sisters behind their boss's back. Hillarious comedy as they attend the weekend, and take a rolleroaster ride as ...

...(Dudek) and Brittany (Ward), two white girls. The girls are in the protection programme as kidnappers tried to kidnap them. They are the heiresses of a hotel empire, owned by there rich father.
As Marcus and Kevin decide to change there plan, they themselves decide to be used as bait?, so now your thinking two African American males and two Caucasian females, how’s that going to work. With a lot of pale makeup, and padding along with a body suit. ... ...to convince the friends of Tiffany and Brittany, and there co workers that they are actually tiffany and Brittany.

Advantages: Funny from beginning to end, Excellent soundtrack Disadvantages: How can the other characters not tell that they are, in fact, men?
From the director of SCARY MOVIE.
When I heard of this film, I knew that this is a film worth watching. The idea of two men wearing a heap load of make-up and women's underwear to represent two spoilt heiresses made me laugh.
I first watched this on DVD and because it portrays the wayans brothers humerous antics it appeals to young people.
My personal opinion of this film is that it is quite funny and entertaining and it appeals to the younger ... ...such as Paris Hilton humerous.
It is a definate must-see for fans of the wayans brothers and those who enoy crude humour.
The best things to look out for in this film:
* The transformation of the two brothers into two spoilt heiresses
* The girly sleepover involving "the demonstration"
* The dance-off
Full with outrageous laughs from beginning to end and a pretty good soundtrack, I would recommned buying this on DVD. ...

I am a big an of Shawn and Marlon Wayans. I have watched many of their movies, and they continue to entertain me. You can not watch a movie by them and be disappointed. Sure the movies aren't perfect and they don't have the best story lines, but the Wayans brother movie are about the homour. The movies are there to be watched and enjoyed, they are there to make you laugh, nothing more. And they do their job, every movie i have seen by then with them ... ...watching, and 'White Chicks' was no different.
'White Chicks' is about two police officers who keep messing up and have to find ways to cover up their mistakes. This time it just happens that to cover up their mistake, they have to dress up as two sisters 'White Chicks' in order to complete their task set by their superior. The movie takes you through what they have to go through in order to look like the 'White Chicks' and what happens to them ...
