With dreams of becoming gangsta rappers, white-bread Iowa boy Flip (Danny Hoch) and his pals (Mark Webber and Dash Mihok) adopt all the style of urban hip-hoppers -- and the townsfolk think they're plain crazy. When Khalid (Eugene Byrd) moves to town, the boys convince their new black friend to take them to Chicago and hook them up with everything ghetto. The comedy features cameos and music by Snoop Dog, Fat Joe, Dead Prez, Slick Rick and Mic.

Many scenes of confrontation play like heavy-handed, uncomfortably forced improv.
Nothing new or progressive here.
Or, Pretty Fly for a White Guy: The Movie.
...a woefully unfunny rap-oriented satire that's about as amusing as a carjacking...[a] tired and baseless culture comedy
Whiteboys is almost as short on substance as its poseur protagonists
A one-joke film in desperate denial and a terrible vehicle for Hoch.
The fish-out-of-water scenario is frequently hilarious, and the linguistic prowess of the actors is impressive.
Danny Hoch gives a shrewd performance as a rapping misfit.
Many of the characters are neglected, even though most are not of much importance, but that's because Hoch and company don't take any time to add the correct amount of realism to it.
Not funny. At all.
I loved this movie. Danny Hoch plays a guy who lives in Iowa but want to be urban. youth.. aka a wigger. Sorry for the politcal incorectness but I don't know how else to describe it. I thought it was pretty hilarious because every one knows somebody like this that wants to be the big fish in a little pond.

Once you get familiar with style and attitude of the film, you can appreciate its story and characters for what they are. I found this to be a very enjoyable film as both a Hip Hop enthusiast and general movie watcher. It has great cameo appearances from several rappers and hip hop figures with some awesome scenes. The
