Some names in movies are automatically associated with quality, some on the other hand are associated with what could be called dreck.
The Wayans brothers are often associated with the latter type of movies.
White Chicks is again a movie that you go into with extremely low expectations, and even that is not particularly helpful.
Basic plot outline is two disgraced African-American FBI agents pose as the Wilson sisters, two vapid heiresses of a Hotel empire, (Hilton sisters anyone) to uncover some sort of kidnapping plot which is never really fleshed out fully as it is superfluous to the men dressing as chicks.
The interesting part is how at its deepest undercurrents the movie is quite homophobic.
Some humour to be had, but it is really predictable and is lowest common denominator humour.
the running time was also too long, and could have done with about twenty minutes cut out.
Overall a fairly ordinary comedy, which will satisfy fans of its genre, not this viewer however.
My rating = 4/10.
