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

Not Oscar Material But a Good Laugh and Entertaining
This is a funny film and good if you are looking to be entertained and have lots of laughs! I am a blonde white chick and I was not offended at all!! Forget about the bogus accusations of racism! It is just for fun!!!!!

Laughing so hard
I heard alot of different things about the movie but when I finally saw it I was laughing so hard, it was so funny and I'm glad I bought it.

FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quit taking everything so serious. This film is stupid funny...that's what makes it so good. Of course it was a bad make up job...they're comedians not super models!
