Champ glad you liked the movie. Here are other reviews of the movie: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/WhiteChicks-1133505/

It's interesting though how certain emotions of hate and ignorance were aroused within certain members of the black race when this movie came out. I really do hope most people see it for humor rather than hate.

Some of the comments are brutally funny....

"The film is nothing more than a tired bore - the kind of film that doesn’t even have the grace to be a respectable bad movie."

"I knew we were in trouble when there was a "Hammer Time" joke in the first few minutes, a reference way past its sell-by date."

"Most movies require some suspension of disbelief. But White Chicks ... requires something more radical than that. A full frontal lobotomy might be a good place to start." NYTimes.

MTV: Are you worried about criticism of the stereotyping that provides a lot of the humor in "White Chicks"?

Marlon: We kind of break the mold and run away from the stereotype. You've got to have certain prototypes in terms of your character, certain archetypes with every character, and that's just the movie structure. But this one, it's just a situation comedy about two black guys that have to become two white girls, so it's just like a "Mrs. Doubtfire." He was a father that loved his kids. He wanted to be around them, so he created this Mrs. Doubtfire character so he could baby-sit the children. There's a reason. It's just a high-concept comedy in which it just so happens that race is one of the wells we go to for comedy, but there is race, gender and class, so you stay ahead of the audience and you have a very rich world, and I think the audience really enjoys the fact that it's a broad film and it plays across the board — men, women, Oprah loved it, so

How do you feel when certain members of the black community make these remarks in response to the movie?

There are "things" you will NEVER understand about me sweetheart... I cannot begin to comment on what phrat said and why he said it.

But one thing is true and I have yet an answer: How the HAYLE did this movie get "greenlighted"? Oh, I know why it did. But what I am wondering is "why"?

My one-eared peer, you know just like I do . . . green.

Sometimes it's that simple - which sucks. Badly.

Coming from me, it that much "greens" in the world to make some dumb chit like I am seeing--no madda how funny it sounded...

A fart sounds funny if it's made right... That don't mean I'ma gonna pay somebody to hear it...

And chit does stink due to the E. coli and Bacillus coming out our colons and sphincters...

I love that Marlon called it a "high concept comedy." Does that mean he was high when he thought of it?
