White chicks: A movie that will never go out of style
At this point, I highly doubt there's anyone who doesn't know this film, which I consider one of my favorite comedy films. It's not just any comedy; it has a lot of dark humor, haha. The thing is, I saw this film many times when I was younger, and I'll never forget the first time I saw it on a very long bus ride. But this film made my trip more enjoyable. I found it super funny back then. This week I noticed it was available on HBO MAX, and although I know the film almost by heart, I'll never tire of watching it.
In this film we see the Wayans brothers as protagonists being FBI agents, however, "Kevin and Marcus" during a secret mission do everything completely wrong, it becomes a total disaster which causes their boss to distrust them more and gives them one last chance to redeem themselves, this time the mission is to escort the Wilson twins since they suspect they are the target of a kidnapping. The twins who are totally superficial and strange get small wounds on their faces which is why they refuse to present themselves to society like that, this puts Kevin and Marcus in a big bind and they decide to look for a somewhat strange solution so that their boss does not fire them and this is where all the magic of the film begins when these two boys transform into the Wilson twins.
By the way, I love this technology, so advanced for its time, hahaha.
This film has everything, but its dark humor is its main highlight: completely inappropriate jokes that are well executed and end up making you laugh out loud. In addition to how funny this film is, it also shows how high society only focuses on appearances, race, or gender. We also see how the boys begin to deal with common problems that women face, and in a way, this helps them understand a little better how we feel about men.
And I must confess that Latrell's character is one of the ones that made me laugh the most, he's simply too strange, I'll never be able to understand him LOL.
And the group of girls contributes so much to the film. Through them, the boys begin to understand women more, and the girls learn from them to let go a little more, be less superficial, and feel empowered. Plus, there are hilarious scenes with all of them.
If you're living under a rock and haven't seen this 2004 film, I highly recommend it. I truly miss the comedy films of those times. They had their own identity, were funny, and were incredibly entertaining. I haven't seen anything like that in recent years. Today's comedy films are incredibly boring, with jokes that are too lame or repetitive. By the way, a curious fact is that I saw this film when I was 11 years old, haha. It's incredible that my mom let me watch it at that age, but things were really different back then. Anyway. My rating for White Chicks was, is, and will forever be 1000/10.
