white chicks is a hilarious movie which renounces the difference between white women and black men
2 undercover black FBI agents are on their last chance to get on the chiefs good side. their need for this somehow makes them turn themselves into white blonde women.
i believe this is the ideal movie for teenagers looking to relax and just want to have a good laugh.
i have watched this movie a million times and i practically know every detail of it. the acting is exceptional both actresses and actors deliver their lines perfectly. the director obviously knew what he was doing. the lines are filled with sidesplitting humour which will leave you and evryone else rowling around in hysterics.
i believe that this film can be enjoyed by most people and can help lift the mood if your feeling down. ...
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 have some idea!
Kevin (Shawn Wayans) and Marcus (Marlon Wayans) Copeland are two failing FBI agents, asked to transport Brittany (Maitland Ward) and Tiffany Wilson (Anne Dudek), two affluent 'white women', to the annual party at the Royal Hampton Hotel. A slight accident during the journey, leads to the vain sisters to threaten a complaint against Kevin and Marcus. Afraid at the consequences ...
Advantages: A haunting black and white classic Disadvantages: None
INTRODUCTION
In 1964 I was taken with school to one of our local cinemas (now ALL the cinemas in the town have gone) to watch David Lean's classic film 'Great Expectation'.
It was old, it was black and white - it was WONDERFUL!!
I have seen many adaptions of the book since that day 45 years ago, but I have never seen one that compares to Lean's film or that was so true to Dickens' book.
What a pairing - Dickens and Lean!!
Dickens's rich characters and gothic Victorian atmosphere combined with the unique and masterful direction of David Lean led to a true cinema masterpiece that has weathered the years well.
Last year I found a new DVD of the 1946 film and it is that DVD that I am about to review.
