White Chicks (Unrated and Uncut Edition) (DVD)

I wasn't able to catch White Chicks in the theater, which was an intentional decision,. I have never been a fan of the Wayans brothers' comedy and when I saw the premise of this film and then the trailer I felt there was no way in hell that this could be funny. After watching it, I will say that it is a decent movie but far from anything worth buying.

FBI Agents Kevin Copeland (Shawn Wayans) and Marcus Copeland (Marlon Wayans) aren't exactly your prototypical agents as they seem to mess up each assignment they take and their latest homework isn't any different. They are asked to escort the high society rich chicks, the Wilson sisters, from their private jet to the Hamptons for a charity event. Unfortunately on the way there is a car accident which gives the girls a scratch on the lip and a bump on the nose, which means they refuse to make an appearance in public until the nasty blemishes are relieved.

With this news the Copeland boys realize that if those girls don't make it to the Hamptons their jobs are in jeopardy, which means only one thing... time to dress up as white girls.

If you have seen any footage from the film and think these two gals look like the Hilton sisters you aren't far off as the two socialites were the inspiration for the story as Shawn Wayans got the idea while reading an article about the sisters, which is one of the tidbits you will get off the Wayans brothers commentary.

Along with the commentary you also get three little featurettes; one on the makeup, one on the "comedy" and an Encore special on White Chicks. These features, along with the commentary, are no reason to buy this DVD, at least if you aren't a Wayans fan, and even if you are they don't impress that much.

As for this being the "Unrated" version I cannot tell you what exactly is added, but I can let you know that this version is about seven minutes longer and with the dildo scene I am guessing that wasn't in the original script.

The boys have a very specific comedy style, which is whacky antics and fart jokes, and if you can put aside the fact that these two look NOTHING like the two girls they are supposed to look like and that everyone falls for their ploy then this is the movie for you. Otherwise, if your interest is peaked, check it out at the rental stand before your buy.
