Here's a review I found....
Fart for art's sake
So sue me. I liked White Chicks.
Director Keenen Ivory Wayans' comedy (written by Keenen and his two starring brothers, as well as Andy McElfresh, Michael Anthony Snowden and Xavier Cook) is stupid, crude, at times inept, illogical, and alas, often very funny.
The plot, of course, makes little sense (it took six people to dream this up?), but provides an excuse for Marlon and Shawn Wayans to get silly. The pair play FBI agents who try to foil a kidnapping by donning latex, boobs, make-up and skirts to impersonate two airhead Hampton socialites (Anne Dudek and Maitland Ward). The comedy, no surprise, stems from the attempts of these two men to be women. They fart a lot, take dumps that cause women to flee the ladies' room, burp loud, pick their toes at the dinner table, bite off hangnails in mixed company--you know, all the stuff males do that females don't.
Why, you may ask, would two black men need to impersonate blonde-haired white women when surely there must be one or two female agents in the New York area who would have an easier time of it? Well, if that question is important to you, then you may not have the right mindset to appreciate the Wayans' "artistry."
Director Keenen keeps things moving so that when bits fall flat we're onto the next one before we've noticed. Though the jokes are usually ones we've seen and heard before, they're executed with entertaining energy. As actors, the Wayans siblings have an earnestness that is appealing. And their broad comic style is rooted in enough of a reality base to give the film a core of believability.
Try to see White Chicks in a full house. The audience's laughter may encourage you to enjoy yourself, even if it's against your better judgment.--Anthony Del Valle
