If you haven't seen this movie you're missing out on a classic and original comedy that ages like a fine wine.

The fact this only has 5 stars is atrocious. It's at least a solid 8 stars or at least 7, but not 5.

This is just plain fun and will have you laugh until your insides hurt. Marlon and Shawn Wayans go undercover by using disguises in order to infiltrate the rich and uncover something bigger...only their seniors have no idea whats happening....

This film is hilarious from start to finish; the laughs just keep coming; you won't be able to stop for a minute to catch your breath. Terry Crew is perfect for his role, his lines are funny and his physique is amazing... While the other characters are just as good, (far too many to name). It does have an element of Bad Boys but it works.

Some critics label this movie as 'stupid'; I think its a film were you can just sit back and laugh out loud, it isn't the greatest plot but thats not what this aims to do...its not an Oscar nomination, its purpose is to make the audience laugh and enjoy themselves and thats what it does with perfect precision.

I know it is all to do with acquired taste, but I well and truly disliked this film, even if it isn't quite the worst movie I have ever seen. I don't hate everything by the Wayans brothers, but they are somewhat hit-and-miss. The first two Scary movies were entertaining if mindless, but there is stuff like this which was literally painful to watch. I don't know where to begin criticising this film.

How about the shoddy camera work? To be honest, while I have seen worse looking movies, White Chicks does look tacky. How about the lazy direction? I wouldn't say Keenan Ivory Wayans is an absolutely terrible director, but like his films he is hit and miss, and here he is very lazy with the direction. How about the predictable story? Now I know White Chicks isn't the first film to suffer from a predictable story, even good films have stories that are occasionally predictable, but here there were scenes and situations that I could smell a mile off and I was never surprised.

How about the lowbrow and unfunny humour? Once again, not the first film to suffer from this. The Friedberg and Seltzer spoof movies are prime examples, and Freddy Got Fingered and Garbage Pail Kids Movie also had some very unsubtle and I think unfunny humour, but White Chicks is one of those films where I didn't laugh once. I don't mind unsubtle humour, it isn't my thing but I don't mind it, as long as it's funny, but the thing was it never was funny. Every single one of the gags were stale and incredibly trite, and when it comes to using some of the shtick that worked so wonderfully in the brilliant Some Like it Hot it falls well short on the imagination. As for the criticism of racism, that's up for debate, but there are some lines in the script that make you think "wow they've gone a bit too far haven't they?"

How about the characters? Well I disliked them, every single one of them. Also, is it it just me or aren't the characters clichéd and stereotypical. Again, it is not the first film to have stereotyped characters, The Breakfast Club and in some ways From Here to Eternity did too, but those two had great casts that didn't make the stereotyping matter that much. So how about the acting? It wasn't great at all actually, for me it wasn't. Some of the cast are talented but are given little to nothing to do. I was especially disappointed with John Heard, he is great when he has great material, but seeing as it was awful he was stuck. In fact, the only actor who seemed to be trying was Terry Crews, but even his character didn't have that much likability about him.

Finally, how about the soundtrack? I love a good soundtrack, but while I have nothing against the style of music used here, it was forgettable and felt somewhat over-used too. Any redeeming qualities? The make-up was pretty good, but that's it. So in conclusion, lame and unfunny, and while I am not going to force you if you like comedy(Clue, My Cousin Vinny, Oscar, Young Frankenstein, Duck Soup and Shot in the Dark are some of my favourites from the genre) I suggest you avoid this film. 1/10 Bethany Cox
