I was not expecting much from the movie White Chicks. In fact, the Wayans brothers make two extraordinarily ugly women and the commercial left me wondering if I really wanted to see this DVD.
I must admit that it really had some funny stuff, and Marlon Wayans impressed me with his comic timing. Some of the dialogue was bland, but Marlon gave it a sparkle that his brother just did not pull off.
I also had to dig deep to believe that the brothers disguised as women would fool anybody, but that is the beauty of fiction versus reality. Sometimes you just roll with it.
I have to confess that I would have given this movie a C or C+ if it weren’t for two key scenes. Both had to do with bodily functions, so I am revealing a bit of my demented guy humor, but the scene with Marlon in the bathroom rivals that of Finch in American Pie. Marlon’s scene in the restaurant reminded me of the family in Eddie Murphy’s The Nutty Professor.
So take note film directors and screenwriters: if you want to score a laugh with me, insert the right amount of fart and poop scenes/jokes, and I will bump my grade up by at least ˝ a letter or number.
Extras on the DVD include commentary, several featurettes including a few behind-the-scenes shorts, and previews.

"Murder isn't usually this funny."
