Comedy has always been difficult to get right, which is why today’s studios seem to have abandoned the genre, because a great comedy needs to be taken just as much. Few comedians have gone as far as the Wayans, Marlon and Shawn brothers, when they decided to dress up as white women would be the focus of a feature film. White chick He should never have worked, and if he was done a few years before or after 2004, he would never have been Greenlit, but what no one could have guessed would be, 20 years later, it would be very popular on social media and still find new fans thanks to streaming on Max.
White chicks know it is stupid
Shawn and Marlon Wayans play FBI Agents Kevin and Marcus, who go indoors as Brittany and Tiffany Wilson, two stereotypical rich societies, to prevent kidnapping. The prosthetic masks that the wayans wear are obviously fake but in a world White chickIt is waved away as a result of surgery, and besides, this is not a film that requires any deep thought. It’s raw, it’s indecent, it’s raunchy, and it’s also amazingly healthy.
Once Kevin and Marcus, like Brittany and Tiffany, meet the girl’s friends, Karen (Busy Philips), Lisa (Jennifer Carpenter) and Tori (Jessica Cauffel), after the initial shock of going “from Cameron Diaz to J-Lo” wearing away, the women receive the surgery’s explanation and to her, to her, White chick He does not dwell on him, with every character taking the face that these two black men are white women. Even the spencer (terry crews) basketball star is deceived, quickly falling for Marcus/Tiffany, even winning a date at a date auction (another relic of the early aughts). The real humor of the film by black male FBI agents posting as white women, does not come from talented comedy performers breaking freely with the physical comedy of old school and a constant barrage of one’s liners.
From the worst movie ever to sensing social media
When White chick He was first released, he was dismissed as one of the worst films ever made, but once the social media exploded and a new generation had their hands on it, the dancing nightclub came away, and then there are Terry’s crews. In a scene that was improvised and made in one take, crews dance and sing on to “One Thousand Miles,” Vanessa Carlton and in doing so, he proves he’s National treasure which must be defended by all means. Great comedians know how to make themselves a barrel of the joke, and everyone on a set was ready to look like an idiot if it made the audience laugh.
Although that led to plenty of amazing clips for Tiktok, and recreated the nightclub dance battle 15 years later on a busy late night show, Philips, Busy tonightEven at the time, White chick considered controversial. With a rotten 15 percent score by judges Rotten tomatoesAnd just a 55 percent audience approval score, even today the film’s artistic reception is pleasing compared to the impact it has had on the public.
The Wayans Family is incorporated as one of the most successful comedy forces in Hollywood, even today, with another A scary movie on the road, and it is hard to imagine White chick He could have ever worked with a different team behind the camera. It is one of the biggest examples of the amount more than the parts, as each scene can, somehow, come together to create a film filled with a fast fire one-liner, Goofy’s physical comedy, and the great pull of the tabloid culture that penetrated 2004 when socializing could break the law and their “bad” behavior is famous. The movie is very popular MaxHit on social media, and at this point, it is a cult comedy classic that only more fans will be willing to look past the headlines and judge the film for themselves each year.
