When a kidnapping threat is held over two wealthy heiresses in the Hamptons, inept FBI agents Kevin (Marlon Wayans) and Marcus Copeland (Shawn Wayans), try to help out by disguising themselves as WHITE CHICKS in this wacky screwball comedy. With a little help from the FBI's prosthetics department, the agents don blonde wigs, blue contact lenses, and pale body paint to transform themselves into two Hamptons-bound sisters looking to live it up for the weekend. Miraculously the agents find themselves a surprise hit with the Hamptons set, providing plenty of laughs and quizzical looks as they frequently slip out of character. The lewd jokes come thick and fast, providing plenty of opportunities for the Wayans brothers to flex their comedic muscles. They poke gentle fun at a number of targets, mostly along gender and race lines, but also at spoiled teenage girls, and botox-riddled fashionistas. Scenarios are engineered to heighten the awkwardness of the disguises, including a dance competition, shopping sprees, and a fashion show. Director Keenen Ivory Wayans (SCARY MOVIE) manipulates his characters' flimsy attempts to pass themselves off as white women to provide plenty of gross-out, body-related humor, but also wraps the film up with a few salient lessons in life for the bumbling detectives.

Reviews
Complements the awfulness of its protagonists' Caucasian camouflage with putrid bathroom humor, pitiable romance and brainless racial/social commentary.
Most gags are as weak as they are derivative, offering little incentive to suspend one’s disbelief, and as for the gender politics, well… you can only imagine.
Odds on you know what you're in for, so if you're prepared to shell out your reddies for it, you'll find it amicable enough.
Let's forget about the clunky plot and shallow characters. Let's forget about the racist undertones of the film. Bottom line, the white chicks scare me. Seriously. They're freaky looking. They are the stuff of nightmares.
Amid an overbearing story that suffocates its humor, Chicks' increasingly repetitive and tired jokes reek of a comedy on autopilot.
From frame one, the screen is populated with broad, unfunny caricatures and no one resembling an actual person.
... a bottom-of-the-page, jump-it-deep-inside meaningless movie review written by a dog
Quem disse aos irmãos Wayans que eles são engraçados? Provavelmente a mesma pessoa que os convenceu de que a maquiagem utilizada no filme era boa...
White Girls is something of a guilty pleasure -- it's undeniably crass and stupid but it's also frequently hilarious.
The Wayans brothers are gifted actors-filmmakers, so why is it that they continually make lazy, unchallenging movies?
Wayans takes one (unfunny) joke and runs with it far beyond the realms of plausibility to a point where even Michael Jackson would draw the line.
The problem with spoofing two chicks whose 15 minutes are almost up is that no mater how funny it is, once their time is over, so is the movie’s.
Filmgoers will enjoy their own insiders' look at the excess and at a fraction of the price.
It’s the Wayans’ reluctance to upset anyone that misses colliding class and value differences into real hilarity.
109 minutes and not one good punchline. That’s one joke less than in Schindler’s List. How is this humanly possible?
