I saw a special private screening of "White Chicks" a couple days ago and it is awful! Please don't waste your money to go see this! There are a few scenes that make you chuckle but the rest of it is absolute trash. I'm glad I didn't pay anything to see it (Actually my time and a bit of dignity, which I want back!) Oh well, atleast I have Dodgeball, Farenheit 9/11, Spider-man 2 and Anchorman to look forward to.

If there is ANYONE out there who thinks that White Chicks WILL be worth your time, I say good day to you. Will Ferrell can't get his script for AUGUST BLOW-OUT greenlit, but this gets the go ahead? Ugh, Hollywood...

Why bother making a thread of this movie when you think this movie's awful? This does not deserve to being here in CBn. Sorry, I'm just mad. I just saw the movie too and it made me sick.

I have not heard of this film, I don't believe. Apparently it looks like it's better that I haven't.

[Max Zorin]

I envy you, Qwerty. Oh, how I envy you.

[Qwerty]

Haha! Then it must truly be bad.

The thought of the Wayans Brothers dressing up as two white female socialites to solve an FBI kidnapping case may well be the actual definition of bad, Qwerty.

Oh, I did hear of this film, I just didn't know that was the title.

I saw a trailer for it too also.

The most amusing thing about this is it was paired on a double feature with Mean Girls at a drive-in.

I like the Wayans Bros., I think Scary Movie and it's sequel are okay. The concept for "White Chicks" is a funny one, but it was just poorly executed. It could've been a lot funnier!

Folks, they ran the trailers for WHITE GIRLS and SOUL PLANE back when I went to see BARBERSHOP 2.

Shoot, the minute I saw Marlon/White Girl chew on his/her toenail, I knew they wouldn't get my hard earned coin.

When you see trailers for tripe like this you gotta make like the Pistons and just PASS, PASS, PASS!

You saw this? Why? Can't everyone tell how bad it is by the trailer? Besides, the concept is racist and the makeup just scares me. I'd rather watch two white guys go undercover as black chicks....oh wait, they couldn't make that movie...

I agree wholeheartedly. I loved the Scary Movies, and I loved "In Living Color" even more. The Wayans (Damon and Keenan Ivory moreso than the others) are incredibly talented men. That's what makes this movie so frustrating. Not so much Marlon and Shawn, but Keenan (who directed this) is so much better than this. And he's proved this many times in the past.

You know a movie is bad when a Michael Moore films beats it for #1 movie over the weekend.

Keenan's best film to date is still I'M GONNA GIT YOU SUCKA.

The only caveat is that you need to watch or have been exposed to flick from the Blaxploitation Era in order to truly enjoy this film.

Oh, and he's still going to Hell for the "Handiman" skit he created on IN LIVING COLOR.

Talk about bad makeup! The films shouldn't have been greenlighted by the site of those two! The makeup was terrible. They look like albino apes!

It didn't look half as bad in the trailer, as people seem to be making it out now.

Well, "they" have made movies like that in the past. Since the birth of cinema, whites have played black characters(like caricatures) in blackface from the likes of BIRTH OF A NATION up until the 30s and 1940s.

We can glance back to the mid-1980s when C. Thomas Howell took tanning pills to get a minority scholarship in SOUL MAN. How about Sascha Whats-his-name rockin' the beard, do and gear to get into the character of Ali G at the turn of this century.

The problem with this kind of filmmaking is that it's lazy and it panders. You could tell there's no wit or sophistication to the story.

Here's a review of WHITE CHICKS by film critic Armond White, who always manages to look past the surface of a film in order to make an informed critique.

I saw it saturday night and I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
