Is anyone planning on seeing this Wayons brothers movie? Normally, I don't like comedies when their is cross dressing. "Juwanna Man" for example was awful, but I am not sure about this movie.

what about Tootsie? that was one of the funniest movies ever made

tvje · 06-20-2004, 02:35 PM

I didn't say all cross dressing movies are bad, just most of them. "Tootsie" is the exception.

Don't forget Mrs. Doubtfire.

I was thinking about seeing it. I didn't see Juwana Man because it really looked stupid. This one actually looks better. The previews look funny to me, but I'm still unsure about going to see it. I know on some other boards about this movie, some people are claiming this movie is racist. I don't really see it that way from the previews. Since this movie is done by the Wayans, I'm sure there will be alot of stereotypes and gross humor.

tvje · 06-20-2004, 05:22 PM

Yes, Mrs. Doubtfire was also good.

And I agree this movie looks better than Juwanna Man. You could tell that movie was going to be bad. But being better than Juwanna Man is not much of a accomplishment. I might go see this movie, because of the two younger Wayans brothers, and I know can be funny. (not as funny as the two older Wayans brothers)

And this movie is not just cross dressing, I don't know how to say it, but it is also race cross dressing.

Two african americans dressing up as two white people. It was funny when Eddie Murphy dressed up as a white guy in a short film on Saturday Night Live when he came back to host in December 1984. Or whenever Dave Chappelle dresses up as a white person on Chappelle's show.

When I first saw the trailer for "White Chicks" the first thing that came to mind was the 70s movie, "Watermelon Man" with Godfrey Cambridge. That movie is about a bigoted white guy (Cambridge) that suddenly wakes up one morning to find himself turned black.

it looks stupid

isiahthomas · 06-21-2004, 11:20 AM

I ain't wasting my money on White Chicks. Soul Man movie with C Thomas Howell sounds like Watermelon Man movie even though i've never heard of Watermelon Man movie. I couldn't believe C Thomas Howell felt like he had to paint his face black & look black to get accepted into Harvard University in the movie LOL. He even tried out for the basketball team in the movie & his teammates thought he could play cause he was black hahahahahahahahaha.

dlemond · 06-21-2004, 11:32 AM

This movie looks pathetic.

The Wayans look so caked up that it destroys and sort of credibility in the belief that they could be taken for white girls.

Besides, they must be the most overhyped comedians ever.

They were never funny ever in my mind.
Just look at their TV show.

That's my favorite cross-dressing movie.

I think White Chicks looks funny.

isiahthomas · 06-21-2004, 12:26 PM

I liked the Wayans Bros show but Marlon was funnier than Shawn. Shawn has always been corny. I think they both try too hard to make people laugh. Marlon was so funny in Above The Rim movie with 2Pac, Duane Martin, Bernie Mac. I like the part when Marlon, Duane, Wood Harris saw Leon playin at the basketball court by himself at night without a basketball. Marlon said to Duane, look at your man b, he's playin ball without a ball, he looks like he's auditioning for the twilight zone b, he better leave that sh*t alone whatever he messing with hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. That part was funny.

webuster · 06-22-2004, 12:48 PM

I don't think I'll see this- it looks funnier than most of the Wayans' films- but still, I'll wait and rent it. The Wayans Brothers rarely do anything good now- I think they should stop pairing up to do movies after this.

I never saw Juwanna Man, however, some good films with crossdressing (that I've seen- still haven't seen Tootsie- damn!) are:

Mrs Doubtfire

Nuns on the Run (saw it years ago,need to see it again sometime)

Victor/Victoria (well, it's kind of crossdressing- still haven't seen the end to this film!)

The Rocky Horror Picture Show

The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Dessert.
