White Chicks

The Wayans brothers strike again! Keenan Ivory Wayans directed this and wrote it with the stars - his brothers Shawn and Marlon.

We have enjoyed this funny family since In Living Color was on tv. This movie is just plain funny. It is stupid as all get out, and you have to give it a wide creative license. No way will you believe that these men are mistaken for the white women they are supposed to be impersonating - so you have to bend your brain a bit to let that part slip by.

What they do with this story is really funny. These socialite gals are a kidnapper's targets so the two men end up disguising themselves as the women and fooling all their friends. There is a scene where a thief snatches one of the men(as lady)'s purse - he gives chase and tackles! Another scene has the gal (guy) throwing a football. They thought of all these situations where it would be really funny to see a guy doing what a woman is normally not as good at. They break dance, too.

Terry Crews (Soul Plane) has a real stand out role as a black football star who adores white women. He does some very funny scenes singing and dancing, both.

What is really funny is that in drag and makeup Shawn Wayans is not a very attractive woman but Marlon has a really cute wrinkly nose that makes him a cute chick. :) I'm sure he would be at once flattered and appalled to hear that, but it's true.

The story line in this movie is silly, the humor is silly, the premise is silly - it was really fun.

Popcorn was fresh and plenty of white cheddar sprinkle cheese!

Overall rating - 3 for Fun!
