Probably the same targets that saw Scary Movie 1 & 2

A friend of mine is a movie reviewer up in Canada so he goes to tons of screeners. He saw this and said he looked at his watch awhile into the movie and swore 2 hrs had gone by and only 30 minutes had passed. He said it was absolutely horrid. His review should be up tomorrow and I'll post it.

I loved "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" but haven't like much of their movies since

I can't imagine any way this movie could possibly not suck.

It does not even look like it is worth downloading. :

The movie is completely racist as well as sucking... Can you imagine the backlash if two white men dressed up as black chicks and acted like fools...

"That's My White Mama" -- a skit on Mad TV, pretty funny, just saw it the other day. But I don't think there was any harsh feelings on that sort of thing.

But yeah, the NAACP would be all over "Black Chicks"

In the case of those two movies, it's more like white people making fun of white people than anything else.

You're right.. but then again, Whites generally aren't "discriminated" against... (unless you are lookin' for "reverse discrimination" here. )

Heh... I guess you've never seen Eddie Murphy's SNL "white people on the bus" skit... or Dave Chappelle's "white news reporter" caricature either. You wanna jump on them too?

What if they were just portraying "White Guys" and not girls... would that have made you feel better?

Personally, I think the premise is silly... but are you really offended by it? If so... then by all means. Protest.

now don't go gettin your panties (or boxers) in a bunch.
we just don't live in a perfect world, and never will.
i can see humor is some racial stereotypes, but others may be offended by it, and probably visa versa.

I think he was trying to say don't get your panties in a bunch either. The fact is that people that there will be people who get offended by anything race related. Those two movies I posted were not outwardly racist, but I did know some folks who were offended by them. So even if you can't see them as being potentially racist it definitely dances on a thin line. I think that the important thing is that these guys are proven comedians and so they are afforded more leeway. I think it would be more difficult to give it a chance would it have been a newer comedian who nobody knows about.

I hate these guys dressin up as girls movies. I caught the Hot Chick on cable and it had a few moments but overall sucked. I was more interested in what he was doing with her body.

Anyways, this new flick looked stupid from the jump and Im not seeing it. If they were portraying white guys, I might of went to see it. But they are basically doing a Juwanna Man/ Big Mama house mixed in with that frat movie with the dudes dress up as chicks and join a Sorority. And they make bugly white chicks.

who me? where? let the man speak for himself eSDee.

i think DF wouldn't mind seeing some panties in some bunches

and don't go making it a tit for tat thing. all i was saying in my opening post is that i am not interested in this movie b/c it is going to make white chicks look STOOPID.
