I think that's why it got such low stars on IMDb. Why is everyone so harsh on the film? I actually laughed at most of the movie. Yes, some of it is a little over the top silly. Sometimes you need that though. I don't know. Maybe I was in one of those good moods. And I could've just liked any movie. But I did think that this was very funny. There are some typical moments in a man dressed as a woman comedy. Shawn and Marlyn do make some ugly women. But that is what made this movie so funny. I would recommend it for a silly laugh. Remember, just don't take it seriously. Come on IMDb users, HAVE A LITTLE FUN! That's what makes movies fun and enjoyable.

Let me just say firstly the title of the movie was wrong. It obviously made people assume that the film was about the differences between black and white people. I would say about less than ten of the jokes, out of the film containing tens upon tens of funny lines, was about the racial differences.
It was about men learning about what women go through in life. They get to experience different people that women encounter, such as strong overpowering men, rude devious women, fashion, shopping, waxes (ouch!), etc.
But instead of making you feel like you're being lectured, they make you laugh and learn instead.
The Wayans are not making fun of white people, they're mocking people such as the Hiltons; the false life that people like them can lead; how money can hide people from reality and can lead to corruption.
On the DVD, you can see for yourself what the white actresses have to say. That they enjoyed themselves, and love the concept. Who would join a cast who were making fun of your race? If the Wayans disliked white people so much, they would've gotten black actors/actresses and put them under make-up, instead of hiring white actors/actresses in the first place. Even the director states that this film is about the differences between men and women.
Please give this film the same chance that you would give any other.
P.S. Was Mrs. Doubtfire making fun of old people?

Okay, I was dragged kicking and screaming to this movie. I made my friends pay for my ticket in protest when the majority voted to see this and I was stranded at the movie theater without my car. When I first heard of it, I thought the premise was absurd, the make-up laughable and the jokes seemed racist. I was right about the first two things. Yes, you are not fooled for one minute that Marlon and Shawn are actually either of the 2 pampered princesses they impersonate. Yes, you can't imagine anyone else being fooled either. But for one moment, just suspend your disbelief and take this movie for what it is... a comedy. A gut-busting, rolling on the floor laughing and quotable one-liners kind of comedy. This was the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. This movie makes fun of everyone-- black, white, rich, poor, dorks, cool people... no one is safe. And the brother who falls for Marlon in disguise had me pee-ing in my pants! And there's even bit of commentary about social and racial stereotypes. All in all, an enjoyable experience.
This movie never fails to make me laugh, it's the perfect parody humor. The acting is good from most of the cast and though the storyline is basic, it holds up. There are so many iconic moments, Terry Crews singing A thousand miles, the fitting room scene, and the epic dance off. One of my favs for a go to laugh.
Too funny.. a cult classic that never goes out of style... obligatory to see repeatedly from time to time, because it never disappoints, and always brings a lot of laughs!!
I'm not too much of a fan of the Wayans brothers, but this time they shined, both as actors and as producers.... Terry crews is another one that does not disappoint and gives birth to an already cult character in the comedy films of the 2000s
many believe that giving too much importance and praise to this film is a mistake or sounds incoherent, since there are things that do not make sense or implausible situations that do not add up even if they happened in fiction.... but it is no less true that it entertains , and a lot to the viewer.
Very good and very funny comedy... love it.
