If you’re a fan of the outrageous comedy White Chicks, starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans as undercover FBI agents disguised as white women, then you’ll love these 20 hilarious movies that deliver similar laughs, ridiculous situations, and memorable characters. Get ready to bust a gut as we count down the funniest films to watch after White Chicks!
1. Scary Movie (2000)
Scary Movie is a side-splitting parody of popular horror films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. Directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans and starring Anna Faris and Regina Hall, this movie mocks all the cliches and tropes of the genre while still delivering genuine scares. If you loved the Wayans brothers’ brand of humor in White Chicks, then Scary Movie is a must-watch.
2. Dumb and Dumber (1994)
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels star as two incredibly dimwitted but well-meaning friends who embark on a cross-country road trip to return a briefcase full of money in Dumb and Dumber. Their idiotic antics and misadventures will have you howling with laughter, just like the Wayans’ buffoonery in White Chicks. This is a classic comedy that holds up amazingly well.
3. Borat (2006)
Sacha Baron Cohen stars as Borat Sagdiyev, a Kazakh journalist who travels to America to learn about the culture, in this outrageous mockumentary. Borat pushes the boundaries of comedy with its unscripted, cringe-inducing interactions with real people, similar to how White Chicks gleefully skewers racial stereotypes and gender norms. Prepare to laugh until it hurts.
4. Little Man (2006)
Little Man is another Wayans brothers comedy that shares White Chicks‘ irreverent, slapstick humor. Marlon Wayans stars as a diminutive criminal who masquerades as a baby to recover a stolen diamond. The absurd premise and physical comedy will have you in stitches, even if the jokes are sometimes juvenile. If you enjoyed White Chicks, give Little Man a shot.
5. Big Momma’s House (2000)
Martin Lawrence stars as an FBI agent who goes undercover as a sassy Southern grandma in Big Momma’s House. Like the Wayans brothers in White Chicks, Lawrence fully commits to the ridiculous disguise, resulting in many hilarious moments. The movie also has a sweet message about family underneath all the broad comedy.
6. Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
Mrs. Doubtfire stars Robin Williams as a divorced dad who poses as an elderly British nanny to spend more time with his kids. Williams’ manic energy and talent for impressions are on full display here, making for a comedy classic. Like White Chicks, Mrs. Doubtfire mines laughs from seeing men in drag while still telling a heartfelt story about family.
7. Some Like It Hot (1959)
An oldie but a goodie, Some Like It Hot stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as two musicians who witness a mob hit and go into hiding by dressing as women and joining an all-female band. Marilyn Monroe co-stars as the band’s singer, who Curtis falls for. The quick-witted dialogue, farcical situations, and gender-bending premise make this a comedy for the ages, paving the way for future cross-dressing laughers like White Chicks.
8. Bridesmaids (2011)
Bridesmaids proves that women can be just as crude, raunchy, and hilarious as men. Kristen Wiig stars as Annie, a down-on-her-luck single gal who’s asked to be her best friend’s maid of honor. The pre-wedding shenanigans escalate to outrageous heights, culminating in a gross-out scene that rivals anything in White Chicks. But like that movie, Bridesmaids also has a lot of heart.
9. 21 Jump Street (2012)
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum star in this big-screen reboot of the ’80s cop series that launched Johnny Depp’s career. They play rookie cops who are assigned to go undercover as high school students to bust a drug ring. 21 Jump Street is self-aware and gleefully mocks the cliches of the buddy-cop genre, similar to how White Chicks satirizes race relations and the FBI. The chemistry between Hill and Tatum is comedy gold.
10. Tropic Thunder (2008)
Tropic Thunder is a Hollywood satire that follows a group of prima donna actors (played by Ben Stiller, Robert Downey Jr., and Jack Black) who are making a Vietnam War movie. When they get caught up in a real conflict with drug dealers, the lines between fiction and reality hilariously blur. Downey Jr. controversially dons blackface to play an Australian method actor, not unlike how the Wayans play white women in White Chicks.
11. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
Rubber-faced comic Jim Carrey plays the titular pet detective in this uproarious comedy. When the Miami Dolphins’ mascot is kidnapped, Ace is on the case, leaving no stone (or backside) unturned to solve the crime. Carrey’s manic physical comedy and catchphrases (“Alrighty then!”) make this a quotable classic, and the silly tone is similar to White Chicks.
12. The Nutty Professor (1996)
Eddie Murphy stars in this remake of the Jerry Lewis comedy about a nerdy professor who invents a formula that turns him into a confident, arrogant ladies’ man. Murphy plays multiple roles under heavy makeup, foreshadowing his turn in the Klumps movies. Like White Chicks, The Nutty Professor allows its comedian star to show off his versatility.
13. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
Will Ferrell stars as the titular ’70s newscaster in this endlessly quotable comedy. When a female anchor (Christina Applegate) threatens Ron’s dominance at the station, he and his dimwitted news team go to war. The all-star cast, including Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner, bring the silly script to life, and the ’70s fashions are nearly as outrageous as the disguises in White Chicks.
14. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
Mike Myers stars as both the groovy titular spy and his arch-nemesis Dr. Evil in this James Bond spoof. The jokes fly fast and furious, from Austin’s bad teeth to his chest hair and colorful costumes. The movie’s mocking of ’60s culture and spy flick tropes shares a silly sensibility with White Chicks‘ take on early 2000s obsessions.
15. Zoolander (2001)
Ben Stiller co-wrote, directed and starred in this fashion industry satire about a dim-witted male model brainwashed to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia. Owen Wilson co-stars as Zoolander’s rival-turned-friend Hansel, and Will Ferrell nearly steals the show as the evil fashion designer Mugatu. Like White Chicks, Zoolander takes aim at the vanity and vapidness of a particular culture with glee.
16. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
Vince Vaughn and Ben Stiller face off in this sports comedy about a group of misfits entering a dodgeball tournament to save their local gym. The ragtag team includes Justin Long and Alan Tudyk among other funny actors. Like White Chicks, Dodgeball delights in silly slapstick and the comeuppance of arrogant jerks.
17. Superbad (2007)
This raunchy teen comedy follows two high school seniors (Jonah Hill and Michael Cera) trying to score alcohol for a party so they can hook up with their crushes before graduation. Written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Superbad balances gross-out gags with a surprisingly sweet story of friendship. McLovin is an iconic comedy creation, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s committed performance recalls the Wayans’ devotion in White Chicks.
18. Kung Fu Hustle (2004)
Stephen Chow writes, directs and stars in this martial arts action comedy about a wannabe gangster in 1940s China who gets caught up in a battle between the residents of a slum and the deadly Axe Gang. The fight scenes are spectacularly choreographed and the jokes come almost as fast as the punches and kicks. For sheer physical comedy, Kung Fu Hustle can’t be beat, and fans of White Chicks‘ dance-off climax will appreciate the film’s go-for-broke spirit.
19. Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Before Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, writer-director Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost made this hilarious zombie comedy. Shaun is an aimless electronics store employee who must step up to protect his loved ones during the apocalypse. Shaun of the Dead lovingly homages and skewers zombie movie tropes while telling a heartfelt story with a great comic duo at its center, not unlike White Chicks and its undercover brothers.
20. Mean Girls (2004)
SNL alum Tina Fey wrote this witty teen comedy, loosely based on the self-help book Queen Bees and Wannabes. Lindsay Lohan stars as Cady, a formerly homeschooled girl who infiltrates her high school’s most popular clique, The Plastics. The endlessly quotable script mocks the pettiness of teenage social politics while still making its characters feel real. For a different take on female friendships and rivalries with a lot of laughs, check out Mean Girls after White Chicks.
