Celebrate 20 years of the Wayans Brothers cult classic that's been burned into the psyche of an entire generation, WHITE CHICKS!
When two FBI agent brothers go undercover as airheaded white women socialites in order to solve a kidnapping case, their makeup-heavy transformation comes with unexpected horrors. As they infiltrate the pasty underbelly of Long Island high society to solve the crime, they're soon confronted with the chilling realities of race, gender, and getting ‘white girl wasted’ in America.
Described by many as one of the most crucial (and probably only) cinematic examples of transracial gender theory satire, WHITE CHICKS delivers shocks, nightmare-inducing practical disguises, and (mostly) laughs in equal measure. Buckle up for a theatrical experience that will leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about race/gender relations, Vanessa Carlton, and the comedic terrors unleashed by the Wayans’s cross-dressing. Don’t miss its epic (and rare) return to the big screen!
