Summary: Two African-American men trying to pass themselves off as very, very, very white women? Sounds preposterous. But with the help of an FBI friend, who just happens to be a genius with make-up, that's exactly what the hapless Marcus and Kevin Copeland (Marlon and Shawn Wayans) do when they go undercover as Hamptons' socialites Tiffany andTwo African-American men trying to pass themselves off as very, very, very white women?

Critic Reviews

Mike Clark

What we get is a tweaked variation on the litany of men-disguised-as-women comedies: "Some Like It Hot" and "Tootsie," just for starters. Obviously, this sassy farce sounds recycled and certainly appears to be in the coming attraction. Yet it's also funnier than expected in ways you wouldn't expect. Read full review

David Rooney

As lowbrow comedies go, it pretty much delivers. Read full review

David Hiltbrand

The first family of black comedy goes at this bawdy burlesque with a broad brush. They get their laughs, but not without a lot of unsightly spillage. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

Wisely, the filmmakers don't try to reform the real rich-bitch divas -- some cultural icons are beyond redemption. Read full review

Kevin Carr

Bottom line, the white chicks scare me. Seriously. They’re freaky looking. They are the stuff of nightmares. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Here is a film so dreary and conventional that it took an act of the will to keep me in the theater. Read full review

Rick Kisonak

It's such a dumb movie, it's hard to believe it wasn't an SNL sketch first. Read full review

The negative reviews on this thread made me want to write a review. This film is epic, hilarious and well worth a watch if you're considering it. If you have a sense of humour you'll love this, some of the Wayans best work, check out Haunted House aswell lol funny as ****

Almost a cult film in the mainstream side of comedy, its humor (though ridiculous and sometimes obvious) remains fresh and enjoyable and it still will make you laugh like crazy after all these years. A classic.

White Chicks is one-of-a-kind. I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing. There are moments here that are mildly entertaining but largely bizarre. I'm torn.

I have no idea how many people will be able laugh this movie. Its really funny but the way they talk was so unbearable and a bit stupid. If u really want to laugh this movie be my guest but for me it was far worse then that. Believe me, this movie will spoil your mind and inappropriate for u.

It's pretty pointless when this was brought out - it wasn't even worth the time and effort to make this film. Just because a film may take a while to film, and with painstaking effort, does not mean we should take pity on the production team - a film I adore which was used without computersIt's pretty pointless when this was brought out - it wasn't even worth the time and effort to make this film. Just because a film may take a while to film, and with painstaking effort, does not mean we should take pity on the production team - a film I adore which was used without computers and technology but what was certainly better and certainly a hit with the critics, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Now, White Chicks itself might be a pathetic product of a lazy day out with the Wayans brothers, so I really don't care whether they were lazing on their ass when they filmed this, or just worked hard to make people assume they were doing something.
I wasn't sure where this was going at the start - the plot didn't seem to make any sense. I was then revealed what was actually going on - with severe disappointment. I'm sure many films out there have used this ongoing theme of men dressing up as women - with actual style following a decent plot. This is just cheap, lazy entertainment following two black guys dressed up as white women making disgusting, immature jokes looking nothing like what they're supposed to be - of what I heard, I never got the chance to find out after I switched the TV off after barely even halfway through. But even that was too much - even if you begin to watch this, it would put you off big time.… Expand
